How's about starting off the new year with a resolution
to research issues a bit more closely. Like, in this
case, how much power those motors are drawing when
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. And I notice the compressor has to
keep running just as often as it used to,. So obviously the
insulation sux. Oh and also, just have a look at the energy
consumption ratings, which vary by a factor of 4 between
different models. Looks like a a lot of them are rubbish.

Make, model and age?

Take your pick and explain the difference of 5 to 19p running cost:

Answer my question.


There is no specific answer, as I'm referring to many modern fridge
freezers, most of which aren't mine.


All I asked for was the make model and age of the appliance in question.
And you can't even do that!
And, you are weaseling.


There is no one appliance in question, it's a general observation of several appliances, only two of which are mine, of various ages, but all young enough to have modern insulation and low power compressors.
