It actually does, but not as clearly as I'd hoped.
"for a freezer of this size, completely packed, you would probably have twice as long before running into problems with melting when the power goes out, so about 36 hours. This assuming it's in a room at 19° C (a cool basement). If it were in a hot garage at 30° C, the food would thaw in about 3/4 of the time.
And while the power is out, for each time the door is opened for five seconds, subtract 7 minutes. "
I watched and enjoyed the original video when it came out, so I knew to look for this information in the text, making it easier to find.
He walks back the 36 hours claim which he recognizes is a completely unjustified extrapolation. And the 'subtract 7 minutes' is a very dubious answer to a completely different question.
Based on my experience last week, I think the 36 hours conservative ballpark. My upright freezer (pretty full) was still OK at 48 hours but I don't think it would have completely made it through another 24. A smaller top freezer compartment had enough thawing that I had to throw some things, but not everything, out.
