Frigidaire FFHD2250TS Refrigerator
This stainless steel beauty clocks in at $2,199, and it quickly proves its worth. It has a 22.5-cubic-foot capacity, smart wire shelving and Energy Star certification. Its two-door access and pullout freezer make it easy to organize, which is ideal in most any kitchen.
Maytag French Door Refrigerator
The 25 cubic feet of storage this refrigerator offers makes it great for storage in any kitchen. It also has POWERCOLD for quick cooling and wide drawers for organization. It’s built for both form and function, featuring fingerprint-resistant stainless steel. The built-in water filter is also convenient for any kitchen.
Nutrifrost Side-by-Side Refrigerator
Side-by-side refrigerators tend to have the most storage capacity, and this model from Nutrifrost is no exception. Boasting 18.1 cubic feet of storage with adjustable shelves and two-way airflow, this fridge is ideal for any big residential or commercial settings. It also has a water dispenser and ice maker with an LED touch panel, making it a great all-around refrigerator.

The full-width freezer is particularly massive, which is a huge plus for long-term food storage.
Honeywell H18TFW Top Freezer Refrigerator
Top-freezer refrigerators aren’t as popular as they used to be, but Honeywell continues to be the exception. The H18TFW model is the perfect family fridge, with 18 total cubic feet of storage and low energy consumption.

Forno Salerno Side-by-Side Refrigerator
Forno Salerno is known for its refrigerators with five-star energy ratings, including this beastly side-by-side model.

Hisense Counter-Depth Refrigerator
For large families, a fingerprint-resistant refrigerator is an absolute must-have. Otherwise, it’ll get dirty from head to toe in a matter of days. Hisense’s counter-depth refrigerator doesn’t show fingerprints, and it also has full-width pantry drawers and gallon-sized door bins for spacious storage. Counter-depth fridges seamlessly fit into any kitchen, including between cabinets.
Hotpoint Top Freezer Refrigerator
Another top-freezer refrigerator finds its way onto the list, this time from Hotpoint.
