10 to 12 amps at 110 volts, as a surge when the motor first starts up, then about half that during the rest of the cycle.

A basic home freezer typically pulls around 1-2 amps when running. It may draw slightly more when starting up, but it settles to a lower continuous operating amperage.

Why is it not vital to keep the lid of a chest freezer closed?

Any freezer needs to be kept closed as much as possible if you wish for it to remain cold. However a chest freezer will not warm up as fast as an upright freezer. This is because the cold air in the freezer is heavier than the air outside of the freezer. When you open an upright freezer the cold air "falls" out, this can't happen with a chest freezer.

What is a bottom freezer refrigerator?

its not always at the bottom its just the way yours is made some other people have asked why is it at the TOP of the refrigerator so my answer is that its just a selective spot depending on what fridge you have. In fact, the majority of refrigerator/freezer combinations have the freezer on top. As mentioned in other posts, hot air rises and cold air sinks, so freezer-on-top models can transfer cold air to the refrigerator without using as much electricity as other models, making freezer-on-top models the most energy efficient refrigerators (generally speaking) that you can buy.
