The freezerator keeps chugging along.

It is still condensing frost on a continual basis, so there is no buildup.

Produce that is in the freezerator still lasts surprisingly longer than in conventional refrigerators.

I have purchased a, aluminum food service tray that is as long as the freezerator is wide. The front 'feet' of the freezerator are in the tray, and the rear 'feet' of the freezerator are shimmed to bring the freezerator to just slightly more forward than level. So, occasionally the condensation runs out of the door and into the aluminum tray and evaporates. I never see any build-up.

My Kill-a-Watt looses its memory from time to time, but this morning's reading was over a 90.35 hour run, and the Kill-a-Watt recorded 1.46 kW-h used during that time.

My local electricity rate is $0.11/kW-h.

This calculates to $15.57/per year.

All this from the least energy efficient mini-freezer on the market (previously well used), that was converted to a refrigerator with a $20 part.

Best,
