When it comes to refrigerators, your options nowadays go far beyond getting a glass of ice water without having to open the door. With custom panels, you can get a built-in that matches your kitchen cabinets. Forget four doors—some newer models have five. You can even pull out a refrigerated drawer and find it full of cold sodas, chilled wine, or kid-friendly grab-and-go snacks. Our fridge-by-fridge guide helps you choose the right type for your family, demystifies claimed vs. usable storage space, and helps you to find the quietest models—so you, and your groceries, can chill out.
We’ll also cover everything you need to know when it comes time to buy a new fridge, from the measurements you need in hand to finding models that are still in stock, despite an ongoing appliance shortage.
