With over 400 litres of usable fridge space, it took a serious shop and a rummage through our cupboards to fill the REF90X. We loaded the fridge to our standard 0.5kg/10-litre claimed capacity, grossing over 20kg of produce. The freezer swallowed 12kg of frozen food (@1kg/10 litres), including a 2-litre bowl of room-temperature water to test freeze and defrost times.

"Best Ice Mold I have ever purchased, they are easy to fill only take 6 to 8 hours to freeze.

There are only a few days left in the year, all the precious hours that remain to give one last tax-deductible gift to your favorite local nonprofit. Organizations are in need this year, they told us. In the hopes of connecting benevolent readers and some of Northern Santa Barbara County’s nonprofits in need, the Sun’s Wish List returns this year, detailing each organization’s wants. From cash support to items you might have lying around to specific skills you could volunteer, it’s all asked for, and if you’re in the giving mood, the more the merrier.

Quite why only the right-hand door offers multiple door-bin positions is a bit of a mystery, too. Either way, there isn’t the room for tall bottles in the upper and lower bins simultaneously. The door bin shape and size isn’t a major issue, but we can’t help thinking there’s a little storage space going to waste here.
