Default Freezers - still using **** insulation?

If the insulation was better than that used 30 years ago, then the time
between switching off and back on again would be longer, as less cold
would leak out - this can be verified by observing the sides are cold.
Also, if you look at the energy ratings on various freezers, you'll find
a factor of almost 4 between different models, so clearly some are using
really **** insulation.


Or there is a 4:1 variation between the capacity between the smallest
and largest model.

A quick look at a couple of dozen under counter freezers from one
supplier who stocks around 8 different brands from £130 to £500+ shows
operating costs in the range £23 to £30 per annum with the majority
being in the £26/£27 region. So comparing freezers of the same nominal
size shows a much smaller variation in operating costs. Some of the
cheapest to buy had the better figure

Please post a links for freezers of the SAME size showing the 4:1
variation that you claim
