Updated April 17, 2024
It can be difficult to find the best refrigerator for your kitchen. That’s why
our experts have tested hundreds of refrigerators of all shapes, styles, and
designs, to determine which ones are worth the investment.
During testing, we considered temperature consistency, storage capacity, and
ease of use to be the most important aspects of a good fridge. Our top-rated
refrigerator is the Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF (available at Best Buy
for $1,949.99) . This French-door fridge is nearly perfect, offering even
temperatures and tons of storage space at a reasonable price.
For those with tighter budgets, style, and feature preferences, we have plenty
of other recommendations that will work in your kitchen.
Editor's Note: Appliances purchases are a large investment of both money and
time. We’ve not only compiled lists of the best fridges to shop, but also the
best places to buy in-stock appliances right now and the best times of year to
buy appliances to take advantage of sales and new releases.

The Frigidaire Gallery Quattro is the best fridge we've ever tested.
Best Overall
Frigidaire Gallery GRQC2255BF
* Style: French-door
* Dimensions: 70.13" x 36" x 29.6" (H x W x D)
* Measured usable space: 9.34-cubic-foot refrigerator, 4.7-cubic-foot freezer
* Depth: Counter depth
* Dispensers: Through-the-door ice and water
* Finish: Stainless steel
The Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF 4-door French door is the best
refrigerator we've tested to date.
One of the most impressive abilities of this fridge is keeping temperatures
within a fraction of a degree of their target. It accomplishes this over time
and throughout each of its compartments.
Typically fridge's temperatures can fluctuate due to defrost cycles or opening
the door to grab something. Thanks to its TwinTech cooling system, the
GRQC2255BF can adapt quickly to any changes in temperature. This is, by far, the
best temperature performance we've ever recorded.
The Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF Refrigerator doesn't stop with
near-perfect temperatures. When it comes to extra features, the GRQC2255BF
Refrigerator has just about everything you'd expect from a high-end fridge. It
has a water dispenser, a custom-temperature compartment located next to its
freezer, and custom storage.
The GRQC2255BF offers great value for its price, both in terms of its raw
performance and its overall usability. If you want to buy the best of the best,
the Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF is it.

Best Bottom-Freezer
GE GDE25EYKFS
* Style: Bottom-freezer
* Dimensions: 69.88" x 32.75" x 37.5" (H x W x D)
* Measured usable space: 11.9-cu.-ft. fridge, 4.2-cu.-ft. freezer
* Depth: Counter depth
* Dispensers: Internal ice maker
* Finishes: White, black, stainless steel (may cost extra),
fingerprint-resistant stainless steel (may cost extra)
There’s little separating the GE GDE25EYKFS from similar models—until you use
it.
The GDE25EYKFS refrigerator has near-perfect temperature performance. It hits
exactly the temperatures it needs to, in both the fridge and the freezer, and
barely budges from that spot.
You'll also find a lot more storage space on this model than in other
bottom-freezer fridges. We measured its fridge as two cubic feet larger than
average, while its freezer offers an additional half a cubic foot of space.
Beyond its temperature and storage, though, the GE GDE25EYKFS refrigerator is
just a good value. You'd be hard-pressed to find another bottom-freezer that's
this good, for a price this low.
The only downside this fridge has is a lack of extras—otherwise, it's an
incredible value.

The Bosch B36CD50SNS is one of the best three-door French-door refrigerators
we've tested.
Best Three-Door
Bosch B36CD50SNS
* Style: French-door
* Dimensions: 69.5” x 35.63” x 31.13” (H x W x D)
* Measured usable space: 10.68-cu.-ft. fridge, 3.82-cu.-ft. freezer
* Depth: Standard depth
* Dispensers: Through-the-door ice and water
* Finish: Stainless steel, black stainless steel
The stunning Bosch 500 Series B36CD50SNS French-door Refrigerator offers
excellent performance synonymous with the brand.
It sailed through our tests, maintaining unwavering temperatures in both the
refrigerator and freezer. Its features, including smart functions for remote
operation and notifications, are genuinely useful.
There are a few small flaws. We’d love a shelf spill capture, and the storage
capacity is slightly below average. Still, the B36CD50SNS is one of our
top-rated fridges of all time.

Best Side-by-Side
Samsung Bespoke RS28CB760012
* Style: Side-by-side
* Dimensions: 70.6 in. x 35.9 in. x 33.7 in. (H x W x D)
* Measured usable space: 11.6 cubic-foot refrigerator, 6.3 cubic-foot freezer
* Depth: Standard depth
* Dispensers: Internal ice and water
* Finishes: Bespoke white glass, stainless steel
The Samsung Bespoke RS28CB7600 Side-by-side refrigerator is one of the better
side-by-sides we've tested. It excels in our performance tests, has a ton of
storage, and comes equipped with a beverage center.
The only minor downside? Its crispers don't retain humidity well. If you rely on
your crispers to keep your veggies fresh, this fridge may not be your best bet.
If you're in the market for a side-by-side, there are few fridges out there
better than this one.

The Hotpoint HPS16BTNRWW is inexpensive but extremely reliable where it counts.
Best Top-Freezer
Hotpoint HPS16BTNRWW
* Style: Top-freezer
* Dimensions: 61.75” x 28” x 30.5” (H x W x D)
* Measured usable space: 9.68-cu.-ft. fridge, 3.98-cu.-ft. freezer
* Depth: Counter depth
* Dispensers: None
* Finishes: White, black
If you’re not looking to spend thousands on a new fridge, the Hotpoint
HPS16BTNRWW top-freezer refrigerator is a good bet. Unlike most lower-cost
fridges, this Hotpoint doesn’t skimp on temperature performance. Its fridge and
freezer temperatures stray by less than 2°F in total.
Still, the features are as minimal as you’d expect based on its price tag. Its
freezer also runs a bit warm before calibration, though that’s an easy fix.
Looking for a fridge in this price range will require compromises. In this case,
those compromises are tiny compared to the ratio of price to performance.

Midea MRQ22D7AST
* Style: French-door
* Dimensions: 69.88" x 35.81" x 29" x (H x W x D)

The Midea MRQ22D7AST has a stylish aesthetic, and useful features, and keeps its
temperatures remarkably steady.
In terms of performance, the Midea MRQ22D7AST French-door refrigerator performs
fairly. It keeps its temperatures in the ideal zone for preserving perishables
fresh. We also like its unique storage options, like a full-width slide-out tray
and a deli net that hangs underneath a shelf.
While we wouldn't recommend this fridge to those looking for the best value, we
would recommend it to anyone looking for a classy French door with great
performance and storage.

Bosch B36FD50SNS
* Style: French-door
* Dimensions: 70" x 35.63" x 32.13" (H x W x D)
* Measured usable space: 12.71-cu.-ft. refrigerator, 4.92-cu.-ft. freezer
* Depth: Standard depth
* Dispensers: Through-the-door ice and water
* Finish: Stainless steel
The Bosch B36FD50SNS French-door refrigerator is nearly perfect. Fridge and
freezer temperatures are exactly spot on and perfectly consistent. Both offer
more storage than typical French-door refrigerators.
Its crispers hold humidity perfectly. It has a through-the-door water and ice
dispenser. We love its sleek, stainless steel finish. Our only critique is that
its shelves only have lips to capture spills in the front, not the sides or
back.
This fridge costs more than the average French-door fridge. But between its
excellent performance, great features, and Bosch’s strong warranty, it’s worth
the price.

PROS
* Solid temperatures

* Through-the-door dispenser
CONS
* Its shelves only have a spill-capture lip on their front

* Depth: Standard depth

recessed handles
The GE Café CVE28DM5NS5 French-door refrigerator doubles as a statement piece.
It features a shiny platinum glass finish, shelves with rose gold accents, and
LED lights gently backlighting the interior walls. But this fridge backs up its
form with function.
It has spot-on temperature control, a wide variety of flexible, adjustable
storage, and a highly effective crisper drawer.
An extra temperature-controlled drawer offers bonus storage. You can use this
space as a fridge or a freezer. The freezer boasts an extra rack that’s perfect
for flat foods like pizzas.
Another great feature is Autofill. It’s a water dispenser that senses the height
of your water vessel and fills it up without overflowing.
This fridge is expensive, but if it’s within your budget, the GE CVE28DM5NS5
offers you great looks and utility.

While the GRMC2273CF does feature a counter-depth design, it manages to use the
space it does have incredibly well. There’s more fridge storage space in this
fridge than in some full-size models.
The GRMC2273CF French-door refrigerator also provides some excellent custom
features. This lets you conform the space to your specific needs.
It has sliding door bins and folding shelves that can move to make way for
taller objects stored underneath.
There’s also a storage area called the Snack Zone, which is low enough for kids
to reach. Lastly, there’s a custom-temperature drawer that sets anywhere from
freezing to 45°F for chilling wine.
The GRMC2273CF French-door refrigerator excels in most other areas as well.
Modern Frigidaire fridges use a new air circulation technology called TwinTech
cooling system. It keeps temperatures consistent throughout its compartments as
well as over time.

The Samsung Bespoke RF23A9675AP French-door refrigerator is a gorgeous

into any kitchen.
Unfortunately, while it excels on usability and presentation, it lags behind
other French-doors on temperature consistency. Oddly, other high-end models
share this flaw.
That being said, it's not a dealbreaker issue. With regular food turnover, most
users will do just fine with their RF23A9675AP.

HOW WE TEST REFRIGERATORS
Reviewed's appliance testing team has spent years testing major appliances,
including washers, dryers, refrigerators, and dishwashers.
We test each fridge in our lab using a data-driven, objective point of view.
We've got a detailed report of a refrigerating testing protocol, but we also use
the appliances we test in our daily lives, as a regular person trying to get at
the leftover Chinese food.
These two types of experiences combine to help us recommend the best fridge for
you at any price point. It also helps us determine which special features are
actually beneficial.
We keep our lab air conditioned to 72°F +/- 5°F (basically, room temperature).
We maintain a relative humidity of 50% RH +/- 15% RH. This way, each fridge can
perform at its best without struggling to function in extremely warm or cold
conditions.
We spend a week putting each refrigerator through its paces. We pack them with
water-filled containers, since fridges operate better when there’s less empty
space. We then measure the fridge’s temperature, humidity loss, freezing time,
usable space, and energy use.
Learn more about how we test refrigerators.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BUYING REFRIGERATORS
A new fridge is one of the biggest investments you make in your kitchen. Here
are some things to know before purchasing your new kitchen appliance.
STYLES OF REFRIGERATORS
A refrigerator is one of the most notable features of your kitchen, so the form
may matter to you. Here are the four main types of refrigerators and some of the
benefits and drawbacks of each:
* French-door refrigerators: These popular models feature a modern look—and
often a higher price tag. Still, some models don't cost as much but retain
features like in-door water and ice dispensers.
They feature wide shelves for food items, but freezer space is often limited.
They come in a range of sizes, finishes, and feature sets. * Side-by-side
refrigerators: These fridges save space and keep food at eye level by placing
the freezer next to the fridge compartment. They’re also typically less
expensive than French-door models. You get more freezer space, but the narrow
shelving in the fridge may present problems for pizza boxes and baking trays. *
Top freezer refrigerators: These are efficient and inexpensive but tend to have
fewer features and weaker aesthetics. This style of refrigerator keeps the
freezer at eye level. You’ll have to bend over to get to the lower shelves in
the fridge. * Bottom freezer refrigerator: These fridges are the reverse of a
top freezer. The freezer pulls out like a drawer rather than a swinging door. It
may have more storage space, but you’ll have to bend over to access it.
USABLE SPACE VS. TOTAL CAPACITY
One of the most common refrigerator specs is the total capacity in cubic feet.
Unfortunately, a higher capacity doesn’t necessarily mean more storage space.
Shelves, drawers, and ice makers can eat into a fridge’s capacity. That’s why we
measure usable space—how much room is actually available to store your food and
drinks.
HOW TO MEASURE KITCHEN SPACE FOR A REFRIGERATOR
If you’re looking to fit your new fridge into an existing enclosure, then
getting the right measurements is crucial. The old adage about measuring twice
applies to refrigerators. It would be terrible if you had to hire a contractor
just to get your new fridge to fit into your kitchen.
HOW DOES A REFRIGERATOR WORK?
Refrigerators pull in air and cool it down to temperatures cold enough to
preserve food and limit bacterial growth. This is usually around 37°F. This
cooling method means that fridges are very sensitive to air conditions.
In hot weather, the condenser and cooling coils have to work harder to cool the
warmer air. In cold weather, the fridge condenser may not even turn on.
WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD A REFRIGERATOR BE?
Ideally, your fridge should be exactly 37°F and your freezer should be 0°F.
If your fridge drops to 32°F—just 5°F below the ideal temperature—some food in
your refrigerator will start to freeze. On the other hand, temperatures of 40°F
and higher are dangerous. That's the temperature at which bacteria start to
proliferate quickly.
If your freezer gets warmer than 0°F, it means your food isn't being truly
frozen. Furthermore, consistency is key: if temperatures in your freezer bounce
around, freezer burn can become a huge issue.
HOW LONG DO REFRIGERATORS LAST?
While the lifespan of any appliance can vary wildly due to several factors, you
should expect your fridge to last about 10 years.
Most manufacturers will at least cover the first year in a refrigerator
warranty. Some companies will offer more robust programs that will cover
specific parts up to five years, 10 years, or for the lifetime of the product.
