Appliance Price Index

A matched-model price index for refrigeration appliances, self-computed from Fridge.com’s own catalog and NEW-condition retail price observations. Each category tracks a fixed set of individual models and compares each model only against itself month over month, so a change in which products are stocked cannot masquerade as a price change. See the methodology for the full definition.

A press-ready snapshot of the current release: the all-refrigerators index against the base month May 2024 (= 100), the scope of the data, and the primary categories that have moved furthest from base. Every figure is the same self-computed number shown in the tables below. See how it’s computed.

How to read the index

Index
A relative figure, not a price. The base month is set to 100; a later reading above 100 means the matched models are more expensive on balance than at the base month, and a reading below 100 means they are cheaper.
n
The number of individual models priced in both months of the comparison — the sample behind that row’s reading.
Median
The median monthly price across the matched models in the category — the level that accompanies the relative index figure.
Status
A row is published only when n is at least 30. Below-threshold rows are shown for completeness but should not be cited as index figures.

Each line is a rollup’s chained matched-model (Jevons) index, with the base month May 2024 set to 100. A reading above 100 means the matched models are more expensive on balance than at the base month; below 100 means cheaper. Only months clearing the n ≥ 30 publication threshold are plotted.

Frequently asked questions

6 questions

What is the Fridge.com Appliance Price Index?

It is a matched-model price index for refrigeration appliances published by Fridge.com. It measures how the price of a fixed set of refrigerator and freezer models changes over time, with the base month (May 2024) set to 100. It is computed from the Fridge.com catalog and price history, not from any third-party index.

What data is the index built from?

The set of models comes from the Fridge.com live catalog of active refrigeration appliances. The prices come from NEW-condition retail price observations collected for those models as daily price history and aggregated by calendar month. A separate retailer price-history series is not part of this version.

Why use a matched-model index instead of average prices?

An average of whatever is listed each month moves whenever the product mix changes, even if no individual price moved. A matched-model index compares each model only against itself across consecutive months, so a change in catalog composition cannot masquerade as a price change.

Which categories are published, and which are not?

16 categories clear the publication threshold of at least 30 matched models and carry an index figure. 2 categories are below that threshold (compact freezers and counter-depth refrigerators) and are not published as index figures.

How current is the index?

This release covers May 2024 through June 2026 and was computed in July 2026 under methodology v1.0. The index is computed by calendar month, and each release records its computation timestamp in the dataset metadata.

Can I download the data?

Yes. The full series is available as a CSV file at https://fridge.com/data/price-index/csv, and the methodology is documented at https://fridge.com/data/methodology.
