Dual-Cooling Refrigerators Keep Food Fresh Longer

In response to home owners who see good money go to waste when the food in their refrigerator goes bad, General Electric is manufacturing a new line of refrigerators that have been designed to keep food fresh longer.

Headquartered in Fairfield, CT, General Electric is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the supplier 100 of NAHB.

In recent survey research, GE found that 78% of the respondents, who were in the 35-44 age range, acknowledged that they discover spoiled items in their refrigerator at least once a month. More than 90% admitted to wasting money each month because food spoiled before it could be eaten. And 44% said that they might consider replacing their refrigerator with one that keeps food longer and saves energy.

GE says that with the introduction of its ClimateKeeper2 technology, consumers can say, "Goodbye soggy and hello crispy."  The new refrigerator uses two separate cooling systems — one for the freezer and one for fresh food. An independent cooling system for the fresh food section allows humidity levels to increase substantially, helping keep food fresher longer.

All ClimateKeeper2 refrigerators meet the 2004 Energy Star standards, and purchasers receive a 30-day, money-back guarantee that the refrigerator will be the quietest they ever owned.

The GE Profile Arctica with ClimateKeeper2 technology (model# PSH23PSRSV) is available in stainless, white, bisque and black. The refrigerator is offered in a 23-cubic-foot custom style configuration that gives it a built-in look.
