Refrigerator－－Chills¹⁾ and Thrills²⁾

As home appliances³⁾ go，refrigerators are pretty stupid．The sum of their skills：They make things cold and colder．General Electric's side－by－side Arctica，introduced this year，is the first real advance in refrigeration in decades．The key feature：an Express Chill and Express Thaw drawer，which cools a bottle of wine or softens a frozen steak in a fraction⁴⁾ of the normal time．Other genius touches：An ethylene⁵⁾ filter in the produce drawer keeps your veggies⁶⁾ fresh longer，and the tall ice and water dispenser accommodates bottles and pitchers．

冷卻和刺激作用兼具的冰箱

就家用電器而言，冰箱是很蠢笨的。它們所有功能也不過是使物品一冷再冷。通用電氣公司今年推出的并肩放置的“北極”牌冰箱是幾十年來在冷凍方面的第一次真正的技術(shù)升級。主要特色：一個(gè)特快冷凍和特快融化抽屜（它能夠冷凍一瓶酒或融化一塊冷凍的牛排，所用時(shí)間僅為正常時(shí)間的零頭。其他天才特色：水果蔬菜抽屜里的一個(gè)乙烯過濾器使您的蔬菜在更長時(shí)間里保持新鮮；高高的冰水分配器用來容納瓶罐。
