finalize my Refrigerator for my new home:

 

Zeer Pot aka Evaporative Coolers: need low humidity to work

cooler box: need to top up ice weekly

Ice House: dont work in HDB

Root Cellar: dont work in HDB

Propane Powered Refrigerators:  dont work in HDB

Solar Powered Refrigerators: dont work in HDB

Chest Freezer: No defrost (need to  defrost yearly)

Chest Freezer converted as Refrigerator: condensation

Thermoelectric coolers: too small

 

 

my selected choice will be,  cooler box, Chest Freezer or Chest Freezer converted as Refrigerator

@Huat Zai

 

what your choice?

 

option A; 2 chest freezer, one as freezer another as Refrigerator (both set on a analog timer to switch on 2 times per day for 90min per session)

 

option B: chest freezer + rotomolded box while can last 7 to 10days but need to replace the pvc ice tube

I only need a solar panel for the chest freezer to be off grid

You can use both freezers on normal days, use one on solar panel and one with ice tubes when you go off grid, Or both freezer with a cooler bag to increase capacity. You don't have the options for expanded capacity with only one freezer.

When it all goes to hell, you can just put one on the roof of your HDB and drop wiring down to your window.
