The Insignia™ 7 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Upright Convertible Freezer typically uses around 296 kilowatt-hours per year. Given there are 8,760 hours in a year: However, this is an average consumption. The actual power usage can vary depending on factors like the ambient temperature and how often the door is opened. For generator sizing, it's also important to consider the starting wattage, which can be higher than the running wattage. A generator with a capacity of at least 500 watts should be sufficient to handle the initial surge when the freezer starts up. Stay safe during the severe weather! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
