Some upscale fridges even have specialty ice features, like LG’s Craft Ice clear spheres (38% of the owners of one model whose reviews we analyzed cited Craft Ice as one of their favorite features). We don’t have “official” recommendations for specific refrigerator models. If this were a typical Wirecutter guide, we’d highlight a handful of the “best” refrigerators that, based on our research and testing, would make the most people the happiest. Earlier versions of this guide took that approach, but it never felt like the optimal way to tackle the topic, so we’re trying something different these days. This is a somewhat common issue with side-by-sides, because their compartments are so tall.
When it comes to fridges, the brand also provides a selection of models with and without a water dispenser. KitchenAid is known for its mid-century, heavy-duty mixers, but it also makes top-of-the-line refrigerators. The brand, known as the luxury end of Whirlpool’s appliances, has been offering virtually everything that you could need in a kitchen for years. All the standard configurations, like French doors, side-by-side, top-freezer, and bottom-freezer, are available through KitchenAid. However, its counter-depth model with extra-tall storage is a stand-out on their roster.
French door designs feature tiered freezer storage, infinity slide shelves for ample room and accessible snacks, as well as panoramic LED lighting. Adjustable gallon door bins and in-door ice storage make Whirlpool’s side-by-side models practical and convenient for users with a minimalist aesthetic in mind. Our eight favorite brands include giants like GE, LG, Frigidaire, and Maytag, along with a few worthy runners-up like Danby and Magic Chef, which specialize in compact options for your kitchen, basement, or a dorm room. Whether you’re looking for a basic yet reliable refrigerator or a model boasting industry-first features, these are the best refrigerator brands to check out. This Frigidaire French door fridge has a large capacity for all your groceries and can be customized in over 100 ways.

If you need a fridge on short notice and a Samsung model looks like a top bet, it probably won’t be a disaster. It’s just not the first (or second, or third) brand we’d recommend. Less than three years after purchase we started having issues. Purchased the 3 year extended warranty, which we assumed would cover us 3 years, hence the name of the warranty. Called Lowe’s and they said the warranty is actually 2 years, 2 extended and 1 from the manufacturer.
In other words, today’s fridge might not be exactly the same product as last month’s fridge, and there can be bad batches. Other high-end brands may make fridges with above-average reliability and longevity, too; we don’t know. And we do not think it’s possible to predict which major brand makes the most reliable fridges.
Large refrigerator with 3 full-width wire shelves, 1 half-width shelf, humidity-controlled crisper drawers, and 2 full-width door racks. Designed with single-knob temperature control and bright lighting for easy visibility. The shallowest freestanding counter-depth fridges measure about 27 inches deep, as much as 9 inches (25%) shallower than a standard-depth model. (That’s counting the handles in both cases, but not the 2 inches you should leave between the back of the fridge and the wall for circulation). The doors aren’t flush with cabinetry like those of a “true” counter-depth model, but the overall design tends to feel less obtrusive than a standard-depth model, which can jut way out beyond your cabinets.
If your Frigidaire fridge won’t stop beeping, you’re at the right place. During that period, it was first a subsidiary of Delco-Light and was later an independent division based in Dayton, Ohio. The division also manufactured air conditioning compressors for GM cars. While the company was owned by General Motors, its logo featured the phrase “Product of General Motors”, and later renamed to “Home Environment Division of General Motors”. The control panel’s secondary entrapment protection system can fail causing the garage door to close even with an obstruction present, posing an entrapment hazard.
Its line of French door fridges is more expensive, but only because each model includes features like door-in-door storage, a hands-free water dispenser, and built-in Wi-Fi. Notably, its highest-end models even feature a Keurig dispenser, so you can fill your water bottle and coffee cup in a snap. Whirlpool was one of the few brands that had enough survey responses about bottom-freezer models to be statistically significant, and the ratings were strong. Bottom-freezer fridges are a bit of a hidden gem, offering a lot of the same advantages of French-door models but for a much lower price. We can’t say with confidence how Whirlpool’s bottom-freezer models (like the WRB322DMBM) compare to those of other brands in the eyes of most owners, but Whirlpool’s options seem like a solid choice if you need one. Whirlpool earned solid marks for customer service in our survey, too, though we didn’t find customer reviews actively praising the service the same way that we did for GE.
