Who, apart from Americans, puts eggs into the fridge?
Any country where eggs are industrially washed before showing up in grocery stores. Their protective coating (called the bloom, I believe?) goes away when that happens, and they become susceptible to salmonella when they stay at room temperature.

What's the reasoning behind washing eggs to make them more susceptible to salmonella?

Most people in dense urban areas would actually pay less. By going vertical you’re freezing a whole m2 that was otherwise necessarily occupied by the fridge. In most places, 300 kWh is much cheaper than an extra irrevocable m2 for your fridge. Plus, a horizontal fridge is just… convenient. You can’t even put things on top of a vertical fridge.
I put things on top of my vertical fridge all the time. Also, how do you access a chest fridge with items sitting on top of lid?

Reminds me of Fly Away Home with the round fridge that would lift out of the counter. True story: "The refrigerator is round, rising from under the granite countertop with the touch of the button. “The pneumatic fridge works with air compression,” she says. “You step on the button and it pops up and the racks spin like a lazy Susan. Cold air is heavy so it stays cold.”" https://www.thestar.com/life/home-and-garden/pa…

Now that is the coolest fridge I've ever seen. Found a video of it in action (yes, featuring the same dad joke all over the comments but that is not stopping me): https://youtu.be/RoGuvvzHY1A?t=416 That entire place is mind-bending.
Air doesn't have much mass, right? How much energy does it actually cost to cool the air in a fridge? (vs the solid parts of the fridge, and the food)
Looks like the OP's fridge uses 10-20x less power than a typical fridge, is that entirely due to the air not spilling out?

Also, is that a big bottle of maple syrup the fridge?

Because it cleans the poop off.
So if an egg has poop on it, it's less likely to have salmonella?
Washing the egg removes the poo and the coating.
No source provided and this may just be some myth.

Wouldn’t that just push the cold air into the room when it pops out. Also, is that a big bottle of maple syrup the fridge?

You can't. A chest fridge/freezer becomes a gravitational singularity sucking random items from every corner of the kitchen to its lid. You can keep trying to return them to their rightful place but in the end it is a fruitless task as the rate of accumulation becomes faster than your speed of repatriation and the contents of the freezer are eventually lost to time behind the "event horizon" of its surface. source: m…
