There is likely a pretty good price difference in the different units. My ES A/C unit was $100 more than the typical and the lowest draw two door mini fridge is $100 more than the next lowest puling just .16a more. Most that look just like it pull more than twice as much because they are not designed for off grid use. They are meant for on grid where the power is plentiful and cheap.
Anytime it is built to be efficient it is going to cost you.
