Had to check, our fridge model advertises about 0.8kwh/day. I guess while operating it with the ECO -mode.

Those numbers assume a climate controlled environment, though. If you live somewhere hot without air conditioning, the fridge has to work a lot harder.

That’s why the typical middle America “garage fridge” is such an energy hog.
