Refrigerator Brands

---

GE (General Electric) manufactures a variety of household appliances, including refrigerators which come in varying styles and prices. The brand is certainly one of the best in terms of durability, which is essential since you typically invest a lot of money in a refrigerator. (You’ll want to be confident that the model won't need repairs any time soon.)

Whether you’re interested in a fridge with stylish French doors or a pair of side-by-side doors, a top freezer or a bottom freezer, GE has it all. Plus, the brand’s well-loved models are quite affordable when compared to premium options from other manufacturers. Their line of French door fridges is the most pricey, but the models also have the most features, including a Keurig dispenser brewer, drop-down trays, and advanced water filtration.

One particularly great pick is the GE PVD28BYNFS, which features a smudge-resistant stainless steel finish, soft-close drawers, and an internal LED light wall. It also has a hands-free, auto-fill water dispenser which means you can walk away as your water glass fills to your desired level.

Frigidaire has been a household name for quite some time, as its one of the top brands for each and every kind of refrigerator. The manufacturer, despite now in the company of many others, remains a quick pick for many households who are attracted to the reputation their name holds.

Frigidaire is known for manufacturing energy-efficient, low-maintenance, reliable refrigerators at a broad range of price points. If you’re shopping for a sturdy and dependable fridge that'll keep your food fresh without any hassles, Frigidaire is a solid choice. The models' designs are attractive, yet not overly flashy, and tend to be slightly more budget-friendly than other top brands.

Choose from different features and configurations like adjustable shelving, water and ice filtration, French doors, and smudge-proof stainless steel. The sleek and functional Frigidaire FGSC2335TF is a very affordable option with many sought-after features. You can enjoy space-saving freezer shelves, a crushed ice dispenser, and door bins which are large enough to fit a full gallon of milk.

Refrigerators from Whirlpool tend to be highly regarded for their durability and quality. Many households are loyal to Whirlpool as their fridges last longer than other brands and don't call for as many repairs. The manufacturer offers French door, side-by-side, bottom freezer, and top freezer configurations paired with the fixtures you’d expect, in addition to some standout modern features.

Whirlpool fridges are priced competitively—even the fanciest models—and all of the brand’s appliances are energy-efficient. If you want to shop this brand, check out the Whirlpool WRF555SDFZ. It has thoughtful and super functional storage options, a factory-installed ice maker, and an upscale design.

Samsung is another brand most widely known for its consumer electronics, such as smartphones, watches, headphones, and TVs. The company is also a leader in premium appliances, though, and if you’ve got your eye on a super-slick, high-performance smart fridge, we recommend checking out Samsung’s selection.

Some of the most stunning models are the Samsung Family Hub ones, which are essentially high-end fridges with built-in smart home hubs. You can manage your calendar, shop for food, and see who’s at your front door—all from the very sleek screen on your refrigerator. They come in a variety of styles, including traditional side-by-side models, and French door models with three or four doors.

It probably goes without saying, but aside from making your home "smarter," the Family Hub refrigerators keep your food fresh, dispense both filtered water and ice, and have top-tier finishes. The brand offers relatively low-tech yet reliable fridges at very agreeable prices, too, and mid-range options that are worth peeking at. Additionally, many of the brand’s fridges meet Energy Star standards for efficiency, which can save you money on your electric bill and also help in reducing your carbon footprint.

If you prioritize dependability and spaciousness, a Maytag fridge may be the way to go. The brand’s refrigerators have massive doors, adjustable storage, and lots of capacity, making them ideal for large families or households that entertain and cook often. When you browse this brand's options, you'll find counter-depth ones, in addition to top freezer, bottom freezer, and side-by-side fridges with a price tag that won't break the bank. Most of the units have professional-like, rounded door handles, which adds to their subtle yet sophisticated aesthetic.

One of the best options is the Maytag MRT118FFFH. It has a classic white exterior, a top freezer, and precise digital controls. For those in the market for a not-so expensive fridge, it's also a great pick that'll get the job done.

KitchenAid might be famous for its mid-century, heavy-duty mixers, but the brand also makes striking refrigerators. You can get all the standard configurations, like French doors, side-by-side, top freezer, and bottom freezer. But, notably, a large, counter-depth model with extra-tall storage is also on their roster. All KitchenAid refrigerators are high-performing, long-lasting products that will complement any kitchen.

Some of the most noteworthy features of the units include targeted temperature control and food-prep storage, which home chefs will love. There's also a panel-ready pick that'll disguise itself in your space: the KitchenAid KRFC302EPA. The model is a "hidden" fridge and freezer combo, with specialty options like max cool, and Sabbath and holiday modes.

For budget-friendly refrigerators that offer plenty of functionality and sought-after features, Danby is the brand you want to shop. This manufacturer sells a variety of specialty appliances including air purifiers, dishwashers, microwaves, and air conditioners. However, they excel in making fridges that are perfect for small or space-savvy living. You can purchase a narrow, compact, or mini unit, and set it up in your kitchen or garage, where you may want to store extra drinks.

Notably, each model has an easy-to-use design that includes reversible hinges, adjustable shelving, and bright LED lighting. Some have a top freezer, such as the Danby DFF100C1BSLDB. This model, in particular, has a very spacious set of door bins. It doesn't include any smart features, like most refrigerators by this accessible brand. But, if you're in the market for the basics, you'll appreciate the simple nature of this fridge and other products by Danby.

Magic Chef is the brand to put on your radar when searching for a mini or basic fridge. You may not have as many aesthetically pleasing options when shopping under this name. But, you won't be disappointed at how the manufacturer keeps functionality at the forefront of the design. Whether you're setting up a miniature unit in your garage or adding an appliance to a second home while on a budget, Magic Chef's fridges make the most of their interior space and maximize all the organizational options. They also have lines for beverage coolers, freezers, and cooktops.

A quality pick by this brand is the Magic Chef MCBR445S2  that is compact, but still includes a bottom crisper drawer and freezer. This piece has 4.4 cubic feet of space and, like other products from the brand, will hold up well over time.
