I eventually found a site that dared to shame the bad ones - including
what you'd think would be good, Bosch and Whirlpool.* Apparently running
costs on new ones sold today are between 5p/litre and 19p/litre.
Seriously, why haven't they stopped making inefficient crap?* That's
almost a factor of four!!


You can buy freezers with a serious amount of insulation but:

i) You may not like the price.

ii) the capacity inside is a lot smaller than the equivalent with less
insulation. Freezers have standard size outside dimensions to fit in
the space of a kitchen cabinet etc.

I was looking (with no intention of buying) at some fridges in a
showroom a couple of days ago and there was one fridge with a a high
energy efficiency rating with a door around 2.5 inches thick, and not
recessed for the door shelves.
