I have heard that one reason the Sun Frost is so efficient is that it uses a small compressor. On the face of it this is ok if your insulation is good enough. The downside is that it takes several days to get down to temperature when you first plug it in. You could also have problems with recovery time if you put something hot in the fridge rather than leaving it out all night to cool first. -- perley@balltown.cma.com
