In a video by @[email protected], Alec goes into a deep dive into the simplicity of his particular model, its shortcomings and variety of data logging tests in an attempt to fix them.
TL,DW: Very simple, cheap and ingenious design, with one compressor loop between the fridge and freezer in series. However, its temperature sensor is wonky and so the fridge is more affected by how long the compressor operates than the actual temperature itself. There is a signficant temperature differential between the top and bottom, fans on the exterior or interior could help but with the faulty sensor only made matters worse. With the controller replaced with a proper temp control unit the fridge functioned much better.
Yeah I think it’s the same… new apartments come with almost everything including the proverbial kitchen sink.
My current place (built in 2008) has a kitchen that includes an microwave oven, fridge and stove top. The only thing it doesn’t have is a dishwasher.
What’s always fun is that new Dutch apartments come with an entirely equipped kitchen, dishwasher and all, but then they come without a floor (bare concrete), and the walls are bare plaster.
Then as a renter I get to pay for all of it, and at the end of my lease I’m looking forward to playing the bluffing game with the next tenant. I’ll try to sell my floor to them, while they try to get it for free under the assumption I don’t want to spend time ripping it up if they don’t pay.
They will lose.
Hehe yeah, that’s always fun. The bare concrete. At least it’s better then Germany, where you have to bring your own kitchen…
When I had the viewing of my current apartment, they said they were gonna give me a 10 litre bucket of white paint. Even tho the place didn’t look that badly painted, but more because they always did that.
