Whirlpool brand recently unveiled the Resource Saver refrigerator, the most energy efficient side-by-side refrigerator ever. Driven by consumer insights, the Resource Saver refrigerator does not sacrifice function for efficiency; exceeding federal efficiency standards by more than 30 percent.
The refrigerator is equipped with technology that automatically adjusts cooling to bring existing food to the desired temperature in half the time. Additionally, it helps the refrigerator quickly return to normal operating temperatures. A Fast Cool button, when selected, immediately drops the refrigerator and/or freezer temperatures to accommodate new food additions, such as hot leftovers. The technology does not affect the efficiency of the refrigerator.
