...122 w for how many cubic feet?

a side-by-side test with 2 k-a-w meters would be interesting. how would
these compare with the mt. best chest fridge, at 103 wh/day (4 w average)?
speaking of which, what's the most efficient chest freezer available in
the us? how does it compare with the most efficient fridge? (dr. chalko
at mt. best noticed that some chest freezers used less energy than the
best fridge, despite the greater temp diff.) who makes a good digital
thermostat for a conversion? how can we have a small freezer compartment?
