The refrigerator & freezer search engine

Fridge.com is an independent search engine for cold-storage appliances — not a store and not a generalist review site. We monitor prices across major retailers, verify specs against federal databases, track recalls, and publish guides written by a named editorial team. This page explains exactly who we are, how we make money, and how our data works.

Every guide on Fridge.com is written by a real, named editor and reviewed by the wider team before it is published. Our byline convention is person-first: an article reads “Mark Davis & Fridge.com Editorial Team” — the individual who wrote it, followed by the team that reviewed and maintains it. Meet the four editors below; each name links to their live articles.

Fridge.com is free for you and always will be. We hold no inventory and never run a checkout — you never buy from us. When you click through to a retailer and go on to buy, that retailer pays us a commission. That is our only revenue. Critically, those commissions never touch our rankings, scores, or recommendations — the two are computed on completely separate tracks.

Two proprietary systems anchor the platform — the same two referenced in the site footer. FIN is named before FIS because FIN is the more fundamental anchor: it is the identity every other data point hangs on.

Want the full method? Read our methodology and data sources.

These are binding, not aspirational. They govern every guide, comparison, and data page on the site.

• Synthesis, not republishing

  We read primary sources — manufacturer specs, federal databases, and retailer listings — and write our own explanation. We do not copy other publishers' articles or paraphrase them line by line.

• Never fabricate

  If a spec, price, or study cannot be traced to a real source, it does not go on the page. We do not invent numbers, reviews, test results, or credentials.

• Honest omission over invention

  When data is missing, we say so or leave it out — we never fill a gap with a guess. An empty field is more trustworthy than a fabricated one.

• No pay-for-placement

  Rankings and recommendations follow data and editorial criteria. No brand or retailer can buy a higher position, a better score, or a review.

• Transparent affiliate model

  We earn commissions on some outbound retailer links, disclosed site-wide. Those commissions never influence what we rank, score, or recommend.

• Corrections, promptly

  Spotted an error? Tell us and we fix it. Every page can be corrected, and reader-reported mistakes are reviewed by the editorial team.
