Domestic fridges were launched back in early 20th century, the first practical fridge was introduced in 1915 in the US. However it was merely in the 1930's that the refrigerators became a popular domestic appliance, funny enough it took forty years for the apparatus to achieve the equal levels of ingress in the UK.
