Top Refrigerator Picks
View all
There are a lot of considerations you need to make when buying a new fridge, but one of the biggest is: what brand should I buy? If you were only to go off of forum posts and user reviews, the answer would seemingly be none. The internet is full of angry rants about how their appliance stopped working after a year or even a few months. Some of that is deserved. Modern fridges are highly complex appliances built as affordably as possible to run efficiently 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Viewed through that lens, failures are, unfortunately, not a rarity but an expectation, regardless of the brand name on the refrigerator door.
For those reasons, we're hesitant to crown any one company as the one true 'best refrigerator brand.' This article instead provides a breakdown of some of the biggest players in this market and which models from the more than 35 refrigerators we've tested in their lineups best represent their strengths, all arranged in alphabetical order for clarity. We have also analyzed the authorized service coverage and parts availability across each brand. If you'd just like to see how every brand stacks up solely in terms of service coverage, you can check out our interactive map. Otherwise, take a look at our recommendations for the best refrigerators.
