Your refrigerator is probably dying unnecessarily as you read this.  Refrigerators are now way more efficient than 10 years ago.  Thats the good news.  Unfortunately, the more efficient compressors now are on all the time versus intermittently in the older designs, so they consequently are repaired more often

With summer quickly approaching this may be a good time to compare two of the best small window air conditioners. We will be comparing our two best sellers, Frigidaire and Friedrich.
