After all, it could be holding cold sodas andsushi, thanks to Marvel Industries' refrigerator drawers. Keep thefridge under wraps with overlay doors or go for the sleek stainlesssteel look or various color choices. An extra deep lower drawerlets you store 2-liter soda bottles and opened bottles of wine. Itcomes in several widths, so you can find something to fit any roomin the house. But why limit yourself? The Outdoor series lets you toss out coldbeers to go alongside the hot steaks fresh off the grill.Weather-resistant doors protect your food from the sun, and frontventing lets you mount the unit in an outdoor grill center. Discreet touch controls let you set the ideal temperature for yourfood. Marvel's drawers use a Sentry System refrigeration monitor,which predicts the contents temperature based on demand and adjuststhe temperature to keep your food just right. Should theunthinkable happen and cause a temperature change, you'll knowright away via visual and audible alarms. Kosher consumers (and anyone with a bad hangover) will appreciatethe built-in, user-activated Sabbath mode, which disables alldisplays, alarms, and lights and sets the compressor to cycle onand off randomly. Only one small problem: If I do replace my file cabinet with thisdrawer, I may never leave my chair again.
