Product review (4 stars): Calculated Energy Costs
Howdy!

I am in the process of measuring the energy usage of every appliance and item in my home.  This GE freezer, which is about a year or so old, is estimated by the company to use 240 kWh per year.  I measured the kWh of mine for 39h 13m and it used 1.36 kWh which calculates to 0.832 kWh per day.  At that rate this freezer uses 304 kWh per year in my home which is kept at 80 degrees during the day (its Texas so 80 is cold) which is more than the company estimates.  The cost for electricity here is $0.0942/kWh so this fridge uses about $29 per year in electricity.

Keep in mind that I didn't really measure it long enough to get a true value and this is only an estimate.  We are going to be replacing energy hogging appliances so the shorter measurement time isn't really an issue.  Once I identify the true energy users in my home I will then measure their usage for a longer duration to get a more accurate estimate.

The freezer works well by the way.  1 star off for using slightly more energy than the energy profile states.
