    I was thinking more power use averaged over time. But yeah there’s a lot of factors in calculating something like that.

    I’m a freezer hoarder myself (mostly stuff I bought cheap, close to expiration) but I just have the bottom part of a typical European fridge (not double-wide) to use. Fills up pretty quickly but with the shape pizzas are, you can load up a shitload of those bad boys in an otherwise “full” fridge with some elbow grease.

      So much less than you’d think. My GIGANTIC unit (literally a full sized fridge model but on it’s side as a chest freezer) costs something like $25 to run all year. These things are stupidly good at their job because cold air is dense and sinks, unlike a stand-up model that dumps the cold air out every time you open it.

      My mini fridge for my soda and bongs costs more to run each year and is literally 1/in the volume
