Best Refrigerators of 2024 – Consumer Reports

The refrigerator lab at Consumer Reports is always busy. Our testers are constantly evaluating new models and adding them to our refrigerator ratings, which have more than 250 models across all configurations: bottom-freezer, built-in, French-door, mini fridge, side-by-side, and top-freezer.

The lines between categories, though, are blurring. Today’s refrigerators have more doors, and features that were once exclusive have trickled down to more budget-friendly styles, such as top-freezers and side-by-sides.
