    YSK: most tiny refrigerators are super wastefull and can often cost more energy then a fullsized one while not even keeping the food consumption safe.

    Obv i dont know what types of refrigerator your mom had access too but for everyone else just because its smaller doesn’t mean it costs less.

    Technology connections has a video on thia i believe.

      I’ve seen the same video, as long as it has a heat pump then its basically as efficient as we can get it. It’s those small drink coolers and portable freezers that can be run of the cigarette lighter in your car that uses the inefficient Peltier module

      This is like … ??? … 40 freaking years ago … (damn I’m old)

      Since then, once us boys got old enough, we started making money for the family and actually building businesses and companies. We got it to the point where we supplied mom and dad with two full sized large freezers we kept running and filled year round.
