How big is your fridge?
Monday, August 6th, 2007 by Nigel
I read this on Grist. A reader of the American environment news site watches British sit coms like As Time Goes By and Keeping Up Appearances. He has noticed how small British fridges are compared to US ones. He wonders something along the lines of, are American fridges the Sports Utility Vehicles of the white goods world? Are titchy British under-counter fridges better than humungous American ones? Personally I would worry about any American who takes his eco-tips from British sit coms.
It’s a bit like trying to get cookery tips from Fawlty Towers, isn’t it?
(Grist makes the sensible reply that there is nothing necessarily efficient about size with fridges. All that matters is that it’s got a great energy-efficiency rating.)
If you’re concerned about the energy consumption of your own fridge, check out the clever and energy saving Savaplug… just one of the many things we sell in our great shop!

On the other hand, if you have a lot of air in your fridge, perhaps cool air is swapped for warm air every time the door is opened and the warm air then has to be cooled. Better off having a full fridge, whatever size it is. Am I right? I think so.
And get a savaplug!
