It is more efficient than most fridges, and it mostly fits in a normal fridge space, unlike the Sunfrosts that are more expensive, but use less power (I think) and usually have a six month waiting list. Our friends complain that their Sunfrost take forever to make ice, but the Conserv works great. Our Conserv is 11 years old. Once we had a propane fridge, but I really hated that, and propane is expensive. Ryan, we use a Vestfrost/Conserv electric fridge.
