Refrigerator Transforms Into Freezer, No Decepticons Involved

Who doesn’t like a multi-tasking appliance/ The difference between a refrigerator and a freezer is just the temperature, so it shouldn’t be surprising that there’s now an appliance that can switch between the two according to your needs. Mostly, we’re surprised that we had never heard of such a thing.

This Transformafridge (we made that name up) would work best as spare cold-stuff space and not in your kitchen. That’s because it’s not a refrigerator and freezer, like most people have so they can keep both guacamole and frozen burritos close at hand. You have to pick one temperature for the whole unit and stick with it, so most households would probably use it as a standalone freezer.

If you were going to have a party, though, or needed to very gradually defrost a dozen turkeys at the same time, this would definitely be the appliance for you.
