I like the idea the cold stays put the compressor is on less, probably due to being for a fridge now. we all fall for the sales guys "takes up little floor space and AAA rating" got me to think about what i need not what they want to sell me i have shelves not drawers and always have to pull things out to get to the back. didn't do the math just know if its not on it's not it not using power

I have a friend who installed a hydraulic lift system in his. It replaces the hinges so when you press a button the top moves up allowing access to the interior while keeping the top available for counter space. Great idea.

Varun: The only substantial difference between the refrigerator in the article and the one in your home is the energy lost when the door is open. If you rarely open your refrigerator, it should have very similar power usage assuming similar efficiency ratings.

You could use that system that some posh CD holders have, where they move around on a kind of conveyor belt system – the drawers would rest at either end on a chain of some sort that moves around (like along and then down and along the other way and then up), so when you push a drawer they would all move round. Well, I know what I mean.

this is a cool idea but what i know is that the fridge i am using at my homes works on the same principle it is not on the whole day as to speak
it draws power only some times in a day like twice in an hour for 5 minutes i suppose
i know that is quite a lot but still it is a 220L fridge it has to take this much energy..

any comments whether i am wrong or right…

Add a solar panel and this can really perpetuate itself!

The problems of awkward access and lack of counter space could be solved by making a fridge that had drawers like a dresser, then the top would be usable as counter space and different food types could have their own climate areas while still keeping the eco advantages of a top loader.
