3 . The refrigerator of claim 2 , wherein the air inlet is located at a center area of the machine room at a boundary surface between the first machine room and the second machine room,

wherein the first air outlet is located at a first lateral surface area of the machine room at an outer lateral surface of the first machine room, and

wherein the second air outlet is located at a second lateral surface area of the machine room at an outer lateral surface of the second machine room.

4 . The refrigerator of claim 3 , wherein air circulating in the first circulation path is introduced through the air inlet and discharged through the first air outlet, and

wherein air circulating in the second circulation path is introduced through the air inlet and discharged through the second air outlet.

5 . The refrigerator of claim 2 , further comprising a partition wall extending in a front-rear direction of the machine room to partition the machine room into the first machine room and the second machine room,

wherein the first condenser and the first compressor are located adjacent to the partition wall, and

wherein the second condenser and the second compressor are located adjacent to the partition wall.

6 . The refrigerator of claim 5 , wherein the grille cover further comprises:

a first partition portion extending between the air inlet and the first air outlet in a vertical direction; and

a second partition portion extending between the air inlet and the second air outlet in the vertical direction.

7 . The refrigerator of claim 6 , further comprising:

a first front surface air guide located behind the first partition portion in the first machine room; and

a second front surface air guide located behind the second partition portion in the second machine room,

wherein the first partition portion extends rearward to the first front surface air guide, and

wherein the second partition portion extends rearward to the second front surface air guide.

8 . The refrigerator of claim 7 , wherein the first front surface air guide and the second front surface air guide have flat surfaces extending in the front-rear direction.

9 . The refrigerator of claim 7 , wherein the first condenser and the first compressor are located between the partition wall and the first front surface air guide, and

wherein the second condenser and the second compressor are located between the partition wall and the second front surface air guide.

10 . The refrigerator of claim 5 , further comprising:

a first defrost water tray located behind the first air outlet, and

a second defrost water tray located behind the second air outlet.

11 . The refrigerator of claim 10 , further comprising:

a first rear surface air guide having a curved portion facing the first condenser, the first rear surface air guide being located at a corner between an outer lateral surface of the first machine room and a rear surface of the first machine room, the first defrost water tray being located between the first rear surface air guide and the first compressor; and

a second rear surface air guide having a planar surface extending in a front-rear direction in the second machine room, the second defrost water tray being located between the second rear surface air guide and the second condenser.

12 . The refrigerator of claim 11 , wherein in plan view, a distance between a lateral surface of the second defrost water tray and the second rear surface air guide is shorter than a distance between a lateral surface of the first defrost water tray and the first rear surface air guide.

13 . The refrigerator of claim 11 , wherein in plan view, an overlapping length of a lateral surface of the second defrost water tray and the second rear surface air guide is greater than an overlapping length of a lateral surface of the first defrost water tray and the first rear surface air guide.

14 . The refrigerator of claim 2 , further comprising at least one door to open and close the storage compartment, the at least one door being located in front of a front surface of the grille cover so as to cover at least a portion of the grille cover.

15 . The refrigerator of claim 2 , wherein the grille cover comprises a plurality of guide ribs extending in the left-right direction, the plurality of guide ribs being spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, each of the plurality of guide ribs being inclined upward in a rearward direction.

16 . The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the storage compartment includes a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment,

wherein the first machine room is in fluid communication with the freezer compartment, and

wherein the second machine room is in fluid communication with the refrigerator compartment.
