Your refrigerator is one of the only appliances in your house that is always running. Choose a model that makes everyday cleaning and care easy and worry-free.

Most new refrigerators will provide years of repair-free service. However, when you shop, it’s important to choose a model with a good service record and a strong warranty. You should also look for models that run efficiently and are easy to keep clean. Many consumer services provide product ratings that offer an independent overview of how each model stacks up.

Refrigerators are available in many sizes and with versatile interior shelving and storage space. Consider a model that will not just fit everything, but make it all easy to reach.

Before you begin to shop, think about how much shelf and bin space you use and the shapes and sizes of items you typically store. The ability to organize groceries and manage space is just as important as having enough room. Some models offer many options regarding where and how you can arrange your storage bins and shelves and store your food.

When you shop for capacity, it’s important to look for a model that’s neither too small nor too large. Consider the capacity of your current refrigerator and how well it fits your groceries before you decide to increase or decrease the size of your model. The average refrigerator provides between 18 and 26 cubic feet of storage space. Models with top and bottom freezers typically have a capacity range of 10 to 22 cubic feet. For an average family of four, 19-22 cubic feet is ideal. A very large side-by-side model could have a capacity as large as 26 cubic feet.

All refrigerators are designed to cool and freeze. Do you need a model that does more? Consider performance features that make your refrigerator work harder for you and ease everyday use.

Extras such as exterior water dispensers, see-through bins, and special temperature-controlled compartments will enhance the performance of your refrigerator and make food storage and accessibility easier in your new kitchen appliance.
