Made in Sweden Upright Freezer

[bellalaundry]

OK...so who made this? I see that the brand name is Imperial, which I think may have been a brand Eatons used, but I'm not sure. I like the green trim. I'm tempted to pick it up.

I'll throw a wild guess out there and say Husqvarna?

I bet some of our European members will know.

Electrolux of some nature in the mid 70s....before the expansion of manufacturing to East Asia

I would agree about it being 1970s but it does not look like any Electrolux I have seen and I owned an Electrolux freezer from 1978. Husqvarna were just Electrolux with a different badge on at this stage. $150 is a lot of money for a freezer getting on for 50 years old, maybe if they dropped the zero ......

Never got that.

I mean, anything past the turn of the century is reasonably fine.

But - for example - our mid 1980s built in freezer back home broke and in turn I checked with the manufacturer how much it uses.

Though from a different labeling area, it used about 1kWh a day, so 365kWh a year.
That was a 880mm AEG freezer from probably 1986.

It's drop in replacement which by the way is still sold with basicly no change at all is only rated at A++ - so not even the most efficent thing you can get.
And it uses 157kWh a year.

That is half.

On our fridge from the early 2000s the savings for a verry efficent replacement would only pay back after 10 years, so we replaced the hinges on that instead.
