By comparison my modern 2013 Kenmore (full size up right, freezer on top) uses about 1kwh per day.

I'd say that the Freezerator hack has been a huge success.

I have mentioned this before, the Freezerator is in a perpetual defrost mode, and the inside is always damp. This turns out to be excellent for produce, because it never dries out. On the other hand, there is a drainage issue to contend with. My current configuration has not satisfactorily solved that issue... I sort of do a periodic mop of the interior. I noticed that top-loading freezers often have a drain hole in the bottom, which would b perfect for attaching a drain tube to. I've also seen mini freezers that have a self-defrost feature, which includes a drain tube.
