Keeps one side running

If one thermostat fails, only that compartment stops cooling. The other keeps running.

Thick insulation

50% thicker insulation than standard and a double-gasket freezer door.

No condenser fan

No fan power draw, no dust blockage, no bearings or fan wiring to fail.

A normal kitchen fridge

Three adjustable shelves, a lower basket and an LED light. The doors can be hinged on the left or the right.
