The most effective fridge around 100l uses 135kWh, but the most effective fridge around 400l uses 108kWh. How?

I got an off-grid trailer running with solar panels and batteries. During cloudy days I ran out of juice and batteries shot down late night when refrigerator kicks in.

Since a fridge is supposed to use the most energy in a household I looked to upgrade our fridge. The current small fridge Igenix IG3900 seems to an older model that according to it’s label uses 117kWh per annum.

I was sure I will be able to find a new small fridge around 100l that will use way less energy. To my surprise all refrigerators this size have E or F energy grade and use 135kWh per annum at the lowest.

On the other hand I can buy a SAMSUNG BESPOKE RB38A7B6AAP EF that has a 273l fridge and a 114l freezer and uses only 108kWh per annum. How is that a thing, that 4x smaller fridges uses more energy?

Anybody knows where I could buy an energy effective small fridge in Europe?
