For my small dorm fridge, it is operating at 80W. The LRD, however is much higher probably 6-8 Amps at 120V. I have 300 AH of battery storage and 235W of solar. Typical fridge power usage is about 60AH/day.
My vitrifrigo 1.8 cubic foot fridge is averaging about 18 to 22 AH per 24 hours holding 33.5f. It has extra insulation and a well ventilated condenser.
200 watts of solar, never worry about the fridge's consumption. Have only 90Ah of battery. This dang laptop however is 3 to 4Ah every hour.
Yeah, my problem is I'm cheap. Some day I may up the ante and pop for a 12V compressor fridge but I'll have to get the $65 out of the one I have, first, lol.
