How's about starting off the new year with a resolution

running today versus 30 years ago.

Which has nothing to do with insulation.

Bzzt. They're all interconnected.

And your rants have nothing to do with reality or
thinking.

Find a five year old to explain basic thermodynamics
to you.

A lower power motor does not affect the R value of the insulation. Are you quite mad? Do you really think if you put a more efficient boiler in your house that your house will magically gain better insulation and cool more slowly?

It doesn't affect the R value of the insulation but it may addect
the run time of the compressor which is your only half-baked clue that
your new freezer has no better insulation than your old one.


You've made an invalid assumption. Every modern freezer I've seen runs for the same time as older ones, and they cool at the same rate.

So clearly the compressor outputs the same cooling, but using less electricity. All well and good, but I can feel the cold escaping from the unit.


Close the door, ****wit.
