	<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I&#39;m looking for a small compact 1.7 cu ft refrigerator for my office. A  <br />freezer is not really necessary, but if it doesn&#39;t cost more to run I guess  <br />it might be used several times a year, and ice would be nice to have if  <br />needed.<br /><br />None of the units without freezers are "Energy Star" rated  (and when <br />comparing some of the same models with and without freezers some  <br />specifically&#160; say Energy Star COMPLIANT "yes" to freezer model, and "no" to  <br />non freezer models).<br /><br />I&#39;m not sure if this is saying that non freezer  units are just not rated, <br />but use the same amount of power as the freezer  units and whether they are <br />not compliant just because they are not  rated.<br /><br />I would assume it would cost more to run a freezer, than not. So  if the <br />freezer unit is ES compliant and the non freezer is not, which should  cost <br />more to run -&#160; an ES compliant freezer, or non ES compliant non freezer  <br />unit?<br /><br />Obviously if there were specifications with current draw I  could compare <br />something, but I don&#39;t see that given anywhere.<br /><br />Thanks  <br /></p>
