    More doors = more gaskets = more seams = more heat loss = less energy efficent

      If it’s meant for daily use, then all of the coldness will just fall out when a door is opened anyways. Drawer and chest freezers are advantageous in this respect. This is also why fridges have drawers. I’ll bet you more doors has a negligible effect on energy efficiency…

      as for long-term storage, this nerd has something to say about that

        What do you mean, “all the coldness will just fall out”? Do you mean the bit of cold air? That is only relevant when you"constantly" open the fridge, for 10 times per day or something that is less relevant. We can do the math if you want.

        The split door reduces both spacial and thermal efficiency. Both because of the extra gap. I also don’t see how it adds value compared to one big door, maybe you could explain the benefits?
