Hi Dave; Yah, the nice GE super-efficient models have been discontinued for a year or 2. A couple of them are up here in our off-grid community, and I still run into them at motels etc. when we are at a remote jobsite. They are very efficient and quite noisy.
I have the exact Frigidaire you are talking about; I guess it's noisy, but not quite as bad as those GEs. Up here off the grid. "noisy" is pretty darned relative compared to a gasoline generator! The GEs seem to run fine off a Trace U-series, but my Frigidaire did NOT like mod sine wave in any form. Had to install a new sine wave inverter. -- Dan Fink, Executive Director; Otherpower Buckville Energy Consulting Buckville Publications LLC NABCEP / IREC accredited Continuing Education Providers 970.672.4342 (voicemail) On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 12:44 PM, Dave Palumbo <d...@independentpowerllc.com>wrote: > I’m having difficulty finding a RF in the 16 to 20 cu ft range that uses > less than 350kWh/yr.
