I read this back in 2009, happy to see it's still on the internet. Obviously with today's electricity prices it would use more than $5 per year but even doubled it is extremely cheap. My issue with the concept is space and convenience. My upright fridge is about this size but it would take up too much space in my kitchen on its side. Worse again that you can't keep anything on top because that's where the door is. But more crucially, with a chest freezer you can only easily access the stuff on top. If something is a few levels down you have to move a lot of stuff to access it. I wish they came with shelves that cantilevered out like a toolbox, or a vertical lid on rails that lifted like a drawer | ||

You could just have a vertical fridge with "tub" drawers which individually contain the cold air. | ||

the toolbox idea is actually genius. ive been using a chest freezer as a fridge for about 2 years now and the biggest pain is definitely digging through layers of stuff to find what you need. some kind of stackable wire baskets that slide out would solve like 90% of the usability problem honestly | ||
