Abstract

In a storage compartment (124), storage spaces having different mist concentrations are formed such that effects of a mist is more efficiently utilized to provide a refrigerator with improved usability. The storage compartment (124) includes a first storage unit (164) that has a high mist concentration. The first storage unit (164) includes a spray device (167) and is disposed in a position outside an air path of cool air between a discharge port (152) through which the cool air flows in from outside the storage compartment (124) and a suction port (149) through which the cool air is discharged to outside the storage compartment (124). Thus, mist concentration inside the first storage unit (164) can be increased.
