From the Google: The electricity consumption of average mini or compact refrigerators is about 233 kWh to 310 kWh. Meanwhile, refrigerators (18-20 cubic feet) often use between 404 and 613 kWh.
Seems comparable. And you would only be opening one and losing energy for half of the total volume when doing it this way.
Electrically comparable only if they are volumetrically, which they are not. Typical mini fridges have an average volume of 2.5 to 3 cubic feet. So approximately one sixth the volume for half the electrical consumption is not a worth trade.
You don’t lose half of the volume when you open a fridge door. The “cold” is stored in the items inside the fridge.
While yes you're very right, that also assumes you have the fridge packed full.
If you’re interested in saving electricity, you should. Even if it’s just a pot of water. Empty refrigerators run constantly.
Agreed, probably a little more efficient to use the 2 mini fridges.
