Check into other things, like the type of pump, location/size of the radiator (wrong name, but you know what I mean), shape of the freezing area, type of insulation used, etc.

Sometimes, it can just be a matter of how long the controller lets the pump run for, or the number of cycles it uses.

There are a lot more than just KWh/CuFt to determine how efficient a freezer is.

Also, remember that if you want to save energy, don't get something bigger than you need. That's one thing about many households... they want the biggest fridge out there, but they only keep milk and eggs in it.

Also - CuFt and SqFt are two completely different measurements.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
