It's a little less than a modern efficient fridge (2-3 kWh/day). I used to have 100W light bulbs in the house, so it's not a crazy amount of power, but it's most significant to anyone planning on using Starlink 'off-grid', since it's a lot more than just a little 4G or 5G hotspot, or a standard DSL or Cable modem and router.
- morsch 5y agoA modern efficient fridge uses way less than 1 kWh/day. The one I bought in 2018 uses 0.44 kWh/day. 2-3 kWh/day is awful. Three random examples: https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/kge36awca/bosch-kge36awca-serie-6 https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/kge36awca/bosch-kge36aw... https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/ffu3dx1/hotpoint-ffu3dx1-day1-freestanding-fridge-freezer https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/ffu3dx1/hotpoint-ffu3dx... https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/htf-540dp7/haier-htf540dp7-fridge-freezers-american-fridge-freezer https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/htf-540dp7/haier-htf540...
- geerlingguy 5y agoI should be more specific: an efficient 'USA-megahome-sized' fridge. Our typical fridge is often 25-35 cubic feet (850 litre)... that's about double the size of the small fridges used in many parts of the world.
- morsch 5y agoThat's not an average size even in the USA and you could probably still do it on less than 1 kWh. Of course, once you're doing the 'USA-megahome-sized' thing, it's pointless to bother with energy efficient fridges. And many people don't!
