Better Fridge



Buying a refrigerator was no easy task. There were options and features like ice makers, shelves that contained spills and slid out for easy access to the hard to reach places. Like any choice that requires a fair amount of thinking I reverted to the old stand by solution "Which one comes in black?" and I was on my merry way. There were very few that touted real energy savings. Some had the energy star stickers with their ambiguous yellow savings formula, informing you how many pennies you would save a month compared to an older and unidentified model, but none were very ambitious about saving energy on the only really important appliance in the home. Well, lucky for us, someone has thought of it. Still not in production, but the fridge of the future will likely look like this.
