About the only measure of performance of this fridge is a comparative one. Here's the story. The Natural Resources Defense Council sponsored a contest back in the early 90's. It challenged appliance manufacturers to design and build a new refrigerator that would work with a refrigerant that was not a conventional, and not an environmentally (ozone) unfriendly, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC). There was a $30 million prize (the "Golden Carrot") that was put up by a group of utilities for the winner. Whirlpool took top honors. It's new machine was about 25% more efficient than the crop of (then) current models. Given that the familiar fridge sucks up about 20% of a household's electricity, the potential for cost savings was high.

How do you breed a mule from a horse and a donkey on minecraft?

You will need to feed the horse and donkey either a Golden Carrot or Golden Apple. A baby mule will be born between them after they are done breeding. To make a Golden Carrot, you will need to place one carrot in the center with Gold Nuggets surrounding it on the Crafting Table. The crafting method is nearly the same for the Golden Apple, but instead of nuggets, they will need to be replaced with Golden Ingots.
