He is not arguing old fridges were as efficient as modern ones, but the compressors. From what I know, most modern fridge efficiency usually boils down to better isolation.

Is compressor not evolved from 50s? Looks hard to believe. Isn't modern refrigerators use inverter compressor? I suspect that some other improvements exists.

compressors have only two simple characteristics, compression ratio and volume. A fridge doesn't require anything special and is essentially the same piece of metal since the 50's exept theres probaly alot less metal in modern ones.

Not true, if you can compress a real refrigerant slower you get better performance; modern control systems that can ramp up and down are significantly more efficient than older on-off styles.
