[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 532289, member: 23472"] You have misunderstood. Your FF may indeed draw 280Watts but you seem to have assumed it is on 24/7 A FF it will only operate until the set temperature is reached, once this happens, it will stay there until the temperature rises, then it will operate to bring the temperature back down again. The compressor (That's what makes your FF cool/chill) will only operate when the temperature rises, i.e. when you open the door, and the heat gets in. You may also want to consider getting one of these. [ATTACH type="full" width="156px" alt="em.jpg"]14052[/ATTACH] It is an energy monitor, Amazon have them from £14.09 You plug it in to a socket, then plug in what it is you want to check. But it is true that older FF are not as efficient as newer models. You may also want to make sure you do not have too much ice build up. (Refer to the appliance manual) [/QUOTE]
