History

National Day was invented by the American company Whirlpool – a manufacturer of household appliances. They believed that for the correct functioning of the device, it is necessary to pay attention to its “insides”, namely, to clean them from time to time. Each of us found in its bowels rotten fruits, missing milk and other products that were not to be consumed and even emitted a terrible smell.

We notice the refrigerator when it stops working. The rest of the time it is taken for granted, even though they go through the hardest daily work to maintain the quality of the food. It is believed that a real refrigerator appeared in 1899 – it worked on wood, kerosene and coal. True, it was too energy-consuming. Now on the market are economical and modern models.
