It is a game-changer to replace the insulation of a refrigerator which has been unchanged for the last 30 or 40 years which is not efficient and environmentally friendly.

I haven’t been so excited for a long time. It’s like seeing a reinvention of a wheel or an airplane shape. Finally, some innovation that has nothing to do with adding screens or cameras.

I've recently updated my fridge to Liebherr with BluPerformance (their previous invention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1CFUK2VN0I ), and was surprised how at the same dimensions it had more interior space, not only that but the rear is completely flat, no radiator, which means you can now push it almost next to the wall (assuming the outlet is inside the wall, mine is not, but future home designs might have to consider this) and if this improves everything ever further, wow.
