I put the Kill-a-Watt on the chest freezer and will monitor it for a couple of days. It's in the coldest (unheated) room in the house, so its consumption will probably be low compared to summer. We have occasionally turned it on or off as it has emptied and been refilled, but at the bare minimum, I'd like to get a baseline so we can determine if the savings on the food bill is worth it. (I also have some more adjusting to do--it came from the factory turned down to -10 degrees; I plan to turn it up to at least +16 degrees.)
