Uneven temperature performance, too many fixed shelves and an inelegant solution for reversible doors mean the GE GTS21KBXWW is easily outclassed by competitors.

Tired of top-freezers and side-by-sides? Give the Whirlpool GB2FHDXWS a try. With consistent temperatures and low energy consumption, it won't disappoint -- unless you're a heavy user of the freezer.

This Frigidaire is a solid purchase for an entry-level fridge. Excellent energy ratings, decent space, and solid temperature performance in the refrigerator section mean you're going to get at least what you pay for with the MSRP price tag of $849, if not more. Be warned, though: questionable freezer performance may mean you want to avoid shopping for meat in wholesale store-sized quantities.

With an MSRP of $1899 and a quality that feels like it should be half the price, the FFSC2323LS offers solid temperature consistency and won't add a ton to your electric bill, but it doesn't offer anything to explain the high cost.

The Amana ASD2522WRD is an appliance that aimed for style over performance. What a mistake that was.

A modestly priced refrigerator with a decent measure of storage space.

LG set the standard for top-freezer, entry-level stainless fridges with this 22.0 cubic foot model. It has superb temperature performance and a great fit and finish, though it is a bit of an energy hog.

The GE Adora DSHS6VGBSS is a member of the Adora line, which is for sale exclusively through Home Depot. Despite that level of exclusivity, there’s very little that distinguishes it from other side-by-side fridges.
