Refrigerator Brands 2026 by Owner Rating
Every brand with at least 3 refrigerators in the ranked set, as of November 2, 2026. Rated models, median owner rating and owner reviews come from that set. Median advertised price and median certified annual energy use come from the Fridge.com Refrigerator Brand Index (July 2026); a dash means the brand is not listed there or has fewer certified models than the index publishes a figure for. Fridge.com does not grade brand reliability.
