Your letting your modern sensibilities pollute your opinions.

No, I'm not. You're just ignoring nearly everything I wrote.

This is a fantasy setting, they don't have easy access to electricity, so the only means to power that refrigerator would be enchantments or manually loading it with ice.

And...seeing as you brought up enchantments yourself...how's that me letting modern sensibilities pollute my opinion? You literally gave an example yourself.

Also, ice is exactly how fridge did start. And yes, it did reach most households.

That said, that's not even the only way, really. The oldest fridge known to mankind is literally...any running water. Can't get easier than that, though it's obviously locally restricted and outside the scope of this topic.

So your main options are between a box you have to keep loading ice into. An enchanted box that keeps it's contents cold. Or an enchanted box that keeps perishables fresh indefinitely. Each one would be expensive to procure and or maintain.

And this disproves my point...how?!
You're tainted with too much fiction to the point you cannot understand a simple concept. Not everyone rich has power, and not everyone with power is rich.

What I said in response to someone undermining the value of refrigerator is literally this. That everyone can use the fridge. Use the fridge. Not have a fridge.

Rich people that don't have powerful magic would most certainly want a tool like that. That alone makes a fridge a valuable creation. And once it'll be widespread enough, then it will get more attainable for the lower classes.
