Something that meany seem to be missing in the comments is that this is a fridge (for cooling stuff), not a freezer (for deep.freezing stuff). He turned the freezer into a fridge, which seems to make sense, as gravity keeps the cold air better in a horizontal fridge. THey are not as practical, as you have to stack stuff onto each other and it is easier to find space for a vertical fridge in a kitchen, but from a pure energy consumtion perspective this makes sense. If the mentioned energy consumtion is correct, it is really quite low. A good new fidge that size without freezer uses about 90 kWh per year, which is about twice as much as his fridge.
