Due to constantly high electricity bills, I went with a consumption meter on search. Very quickly I realized that the 15 year old freezer 388 kW / h consumed per year. If anything new, but then also the best energy efficiency class A +++ I thought. The chest is fairly large, and for the transport to the basement I had unscrew the lid. Enthusiasm came after a week of measuring power on with me. For the year to get to 115 kW / h. All in all a very good buy. Basically, a chest is preferable to a closet, if you have the space. In a cupboard can quickly sometimes the door not closing properly. That's me that is a few times happened. So buy energy meter and check whether the purchase is worthwhile.
