Collection: Refrigeration & Cooling

In the 1920s, you could buy a Model T Ford for just R5000, but to buy the first-ever Frigidaire home refrigerator would cost you around R13500 — that's around R175000 today. But the benefits of refrigeration were a game-changer for a family's ability to keep food safe for consumption for a longer period. So much so, in fact, that not only do 99.9 percent of American households have fridges today, but 23 percent of households have two refrigerators or more.
