>assuming that it doesn’t break down.

Ha! Good luck with that.

The last time I bought a brand new freezer... it died in under 5 years... can't remember the brand... some asian import to Canada here.

I went out and bought a used kenmore I think it was off of Marketplace... >15 years old and it lasted longer than the brand new one did... at 1/4 the price!

These were both chest freezers and besides it's compressor being slightly louder, I doubt it used much more energy at all. If anything, it was probably insulated better, and used less I would imagine. It was much heavier, at least.
