Our expert testers rate and compare more than 80 fridges from leading brands so you can find the best model for your kitchen.

In our thermal labs we give every fridge a thorough workout to help find the ones that:

• have a good range of shelves and compartments
• are the most energy-efficient
• are safest for your food
• are effective at keeping optimum temperature.

We also give you good and bad points for each model, and tell you how much each fridge will cost to run over 10 years. Our Recommended list shows you at a glance which fridges come out on top.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.
