#TOP FREEZER REFRIGERATOR FULL#

To see even more highly rated top-freezers, check out our full top-freezer refrigerator ratings of more than 30 models. Consider buying a refrigerator with fewer doors. Models with the freezer on top tend to use the least energy (versus bottom freezers or side-by-sides). Consider purchasing a refrigerator with a top freezer. The most energy-efficient models are typically 16-20 cubic feet. The list includes models from Blomberg, Frigidaire, LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool. Generally, the larger the refrigerator, the greater the energy consumption. All that data-and then some-informs CRвЂ™s refrigerator ratings and each modelвЂ™s Overall Score.Д¬R members can read on for ratings and reviews of the six best top-freezer refrigerators in a variety of widths. We also factor in survey data from tens of thousands of CR members to judge brand reliability and owner satisfaction. In the lab, we outfit each refrigerator we test with thermocouples in a climate-controlled chamber and monitor it for a month, collecting more than 5.4 million temperature readings that identify warm and cold spots, to determine which models will keep your food fresh longer. In fact, one of our top-rated models costs less than $600. And though top-freezers might not offer the latest and greatest features found on French-door and side-by-side refrigerators, theyвЂ™re also undeniably wallet-friendly. вЂњTop-freezers are more reliable because most of them lack the one component that seems to break most frequently-an icemaker,вЂќ says Larry Ciufo, CRвЂ™s test engineer for refrigerators. Now, top-freezers might not be trending-they account for just 5 percent of new refrigerators purchased by CR members-but if dependability is your priority, this is the place to start.
