I wanted to say "look at the label but it should be fine" but then I did a quick google double-check and depending on whether you get US or EU results you get quite different answers: US 350 to 780W, EU 100 to 300W. Refrigerators have quite lower numbers but we wanted a fridge so let's look at small refrigerators with proper fridge compartment (four stars, -18C), like... a Beko TSE1284N b100, 240 bucks not fancy not shoddy (Beko in a nutshell, honestly). Damn, why are they only listing kWh/24h and kWh/a. Whelp. No pictures of rating plates anywhere. Oh. According to Amazon "50W", according to another trader 90W connected load, which makes sense if we understand those 50W as consumption load (or whatever those things are called in English).
So, yeah, look at the label and you should be fine. Don't get that fridge though it's 220V.
