final concept refinment - Refinements for the final idea, focusing on clarity of contents and easy reach for elderly. The contents of food can be easily seen from the top of each storage, and the user is able to decide what he/she wants before opening the lid, this saves much electricity used to cool down the unit again after opening. The status of food contents is also clearly displayed on the lid, to remind of expiring food.
