  • There used to be a mini fridge which served this community of engineering students, keeping their food cold
  • Aforementioned fridge broke down recently and this has caused severe distress to the MEDN community

Why this fridge?

After multiple hours of market research and consultation with the residents of the MEDN Office I have come to the following conclusions:

  • The previous mini-fridge, while useful, did not completely satisfy the needs of the office
  • More people would use a bigger fridge
  • Most Cost Effective Fridge online given the parameters of size, features and online reviews
