> It has 2 compressors (1 for fridge and 1 for freezer)

Is this a feature? It seems like making more parts to break.

Surely there's a better way to get independent cooling control. E.g. one compressor with valves to control which side(s) the coolant flows to?





It allows the refrigerator to run two different zones in terms of humidity. Evidently, it really does keep fruits and vegetables lasting longer.

There is a better way... and stop calling me Shirley.

Different humidities and it makes a big difference. Also less stress on each component and they have very long warranty’s so if they break it’s on them.
