Stars in the whitegoods

My friend is making the big investment into a new fridge and asked my advice on low energy options. If you run on solar or other DC -type power, you can purchase a 12 or 24V fridge which connects directly to the DC system... such as Waeco's 212L fridge/freezer... no need to lose all that energy in the inversion to 240V. Or if you are on the grid, then save electricity and money buy getting one with a high star rating. You can compare them on line at the Australian government Energy Labelling Site.
