If it will stay cold for 3.5 days with no power
How cold is cold, still below zero, or just below freezing and nothing thawed out
Does it have to run six hours continuous everyday
Or is that six hours of cycling and how often does it cycle
I would think that it uses the 216w aka 1.8 amps until everything is frozen down to the set temp, and then does not cycle too much
But I it takes several days to freeze everything solid
I never had a chest Deep freezer, so I don't know, in an RV I certainly would not buy one that needs 5 amps 120v aka 600w
