Zythryn Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Hey all. I am looking for some help with what is probably a simple question, but it is vexing me.I want to buy a very efficient refridgerator. The 'energy star' ratings in the US, as I understand it, calculate the power a refridgerator uses based on plugging it in for a year. Nother about how often it is opened, etc. So, my question is, if one refridgerator has a smaller door which is opened 10 times a day, with a larger door that is opened 6 times a day, is that more efficient than a refridgerator in which the only door is opened 16 times a day? The refridgerators I am looking at are the Samsung RF4287HARS and Liebherr CCS2062 (562 and 452Kwh respectively). I suspect that if the smaller 'drawer' in the Samsung is used most often, the energy saved from not warming up the fridge as much will overcome the difference (over a year). However, I find no way to quantify this yet? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Quote
