Giant! It's a regular side by side fridge. Fireball, lemoncello, ice and frozen mugs in the other side.

I think you are cheating:mad:Full size fridges are designed to be in house kitchens, not to be used outdoors for other applications:eek: On other thoughts the wife would not allow a very large fridge outdoors as it would not look very nice:D
 
Our double-wide spare fridge is in the garage...where it routinely sits in 120F heat. Surprisingly it works very efficiently in even in that heat. I once put a Kill-A-Watt meter on it for an entire year and the fridge only used about $150 worth of electricity.

That is good to know because we also have a large old style fridge in our garage that uses the old footballer style compressor which I understand is the best in the industry and it seems like it is always running.

I got the Kill-A-Watt meter from a friend and I used it all over my house to test out appliances. It tops out at 1800W peak power so if the device spikes above that power level it's not going to capture everything. But I put it on my fridges and other appliances and was pleasantly surprised to see that a lot of the big items were running efficiently. It is eye opening to put it on various appliances and see that many things draw a little bit of standby power when left plugged in. Add up enough low power draw devices and they consume of few dollars extra each month in wasted electricity. TV's, especially newer "smart" ones with WiFi, actually draw a fair bit of power when left plugged in.
