Refrigerators

In history people cooled food with ice and snow brought from the mountains, or preserved it in caves or cellars which were little more than holes in the ground packed with snow. Instead of digging a cool pit in the ground to store for the winter, or sinking foodstuffs near the edge of a lake to keep them fresh, you have only to choose the refrigerator you like from the home store at Overstock.com.

At the beginning of the 1800s "iceboxes" were in use in England, but historic refrigerators were not the sleek and efficient appliances they are today. Refrigerators from the 1800s to 1930 used toxic gases as refrigerants, causing several fatalities. In the aftermath of these tragedies, scientists took action: Freon was discovered and compressor refrigerators which used it became the standard for home kitchens.
