From the thread title, I thought the OP might be from Western Japan. There are no 100V or 110V appliances made in the USA, The standard USA voltage is 120V.
Sorry to be nitpicking but misnomers when dealing with electricity drives me crazy, it's hard enough to keep everything sorted as it is,
I use a small residential 120V fridge, It's powered by a 1000W sine inverter when off grid. I have 300 AH of batteries and a 235W solar panel. The small dorm/office fridge draws 80W at a 1:4 duty cycle about 30=40AH daily depending on ambient and how often the door is opened. If I was to improve on refrigeration, it would be to use a larger box since they draw nearly the same amount of watts.
