Flatshare Fridge Separates Your Roommate's Rotten Food From Yours
If you've ever lived with a roommate who seems to enjoy experimenting with mold in your communal fridge, you can probably appreciate this invention from Austrian design student Stefan Buchberger. The Flatshare Fridge, one of nine finalists in the Electrolux Design Lab 2008 competition, consists of up to four stackable modules on top of a base station. Each module can be further customized with add-ons like bottle openers or a whiteboard. More » -
Miele Master Cool
Miele's New Giant Fridge Can Double as a Morgue
I don't know if these fridges are the norm in the US, but it seems to me like Miele's latest giganormous fridge from their Master Cool line—shown here at IFA 2008—has to be the biggest fridge ever available to megalomaniac consumers and potential serial killers. They should christen it The Walk-In Fridge, because this thing is so big that you can fit a cow inside. So huge in fact that I won't be able to put it in my apartment's living room. Actually, I think can put my entire living room and bedroom inside during the summer months. [More IFA 2008 Coverage]

Gorenje Fridge Table Lifts Food, People Frozen in Carbonite
The Home Appliances halls at IFA 2008 have some of the best stuff in the fair, like this Gorenje fridge table, which seems to be a brand obsessed about doing really Star Trekish stuff for the kitchen. The table—with a central fridge that smoothly raises to give access to food and beverages, and a security system to avoid having your arm trapped in it—is not a concept but a real product made to order. The price: $15,000 to $20,000, depending on the material you choose. I'll keep using my picnic fridge and raising it to the table while making a hmmmmm noise with my mouth, thank you very much.

Sub-Zero Fridge Uses NASA Air-Purification Technology to Keep Foods Fresh
Generally speaking, refrigerators are not all that exciting unless you're packing in a draught beer system or it is camouflaged for secret office drink parties. However, Sub-Zero models are usually loaded with all kinds of useful features, and their newest model is no exception. It features a NASA designed filtration system that replenishes the air every 20 minutes while eliminating bacteria, odors, and microscopic contaminants. That means food will stay fresher for a longer period of time (and your fridge won't smell like an open sewer). The Built-In Fridge series is slated for a fall release in an array of styles, but no pricing details have been announced. More »

Ford Adds a Fridge to the Flex
Ford has upped the ante in the options department by offering drivers of the 2009 Flex a $760 refrigerator upgrade that fits snugly underneath the armrest in the back seat. The fridge isn't huge, but it can hold seven 12-ounce cans (no, not beer) or four half-liter bottles—which is not bad for a road trip. It is also runs off a compressor making it a bona fide refrigerator that can take a drink from room temperature down to 41 degrees Fahrenheit in two- and-a-half hours. If you choose the freezer option, the temperature drops to a frigid 23 degrees Fahrenheit. With any luck, Ford will offer a Flex oven and Flex toilet option sometime in the near future. Then I would be ready to move in. More »

Whirlpool Plug-and-Play Refrigerator Has Docks for iPod, Photo Frames and Tablet Computers

Among the things that you can dock are the Brandmotion iPod Speaker system, which withstands "the frequent opening and closing of the freezer door" without dropping your iPod onto the ground.

Norcool Fridge Hides Food in Cold Drawers
This Norcool fridge does away with the traditional idea of the singular, monolithic fridge, instead tucking your cold food away in drawers. And it's not a concept. Norcool's production Drawer Fridge system is not only real, but it could be extremely efficient, too. Top-loading fridges and freezers, as Treehugger notes, don't spill cold as like front door traditional models do. More » -

GE Profile Refrigerator Line to Add a Second Freezer Drawer
GE's upcoming 2008 Profile refrigerators will have a second freezer tray for double the freezing. Finally you can keep the meats and sweets away from your wife's creepy fruit. The upper drawer is slim and looks like it will hold meals better on plates and trays and the like, while the deeper lower drawer will freeze larger items such as a whole turkey. And no, we're not talking about your mother-in-law—it won't be big enough to fit her inside. More »

When you open up the door to get your beer, you don't let the cold air out in more than one itty bitty compartment. Also, things don't get buried under packs of old bologna, since each box is a shelf. But are you ever going to be able to store the Thanksgiving turkey inside just one cube? More » -

Thermador Liberty Shelf: Motorized Refrigerator Shelves Are Way Cool
