Many years ago, the best way to keep things from spoiling was to store them in an icebox, which was an assembly that was basically fashioned with a compartment for a block of ice. Fortunately, as times changes, new developments were made and the creative process expanded on what constituted as these fridges. Today, the commercial and domestic types of fridges on the market offer flexibility, variety and energy saving options designed to suit virtually every need for a space to keep things cold and refrigerated.

These fridges have a neat freezer compartment and two shelves inside as well as some storage space in the door. The units are perfect for a dorm room or studio apartment where space is at a premium but there is a need for refrigeration. These units are also great for use in a temporary setting such as a camping trip over the summer at a lodge to keep just enough items for one or two people to use.

There are several different styles of fridges that have come into existence over the years. Earlier more traditional styles include the traditional one with a freezer on the upper portion and fridge on the bottom. This design was upgraded when the side by side style was introduced.
