The Best Refrigerators of 2025

Every home needs one of these appliances, so if you already own one, why get a new one just for the new year (even if it is one of the best refrigerators of 2025)? Before brushing off the idea of a new purchase, consider how happy you are with your existing model. Can it hold all of the groceries that you and your family need for the week? Does its style match the rest of your kitchen appliances, or does it stand out in a bad way? Or maybe you're looking for smarter functions that will transform your space into a true smart home. Whether you're due for an upgrade in style, structure or smarts, our collection of the best refrigerators of 2025 has you covered.

When it comes to counter-depth models, everyone believes they're a match made in heaven. These appliances are designed to sit snugly against your walls or cabinetry, aligning with counters for a visual that's almost built-in but is still easy to install and maintain. The look? Astounding. The one catch with other models is a loss in storage space, with fewer square inches to store large items like gallons of milk. But that's completely different in this LG model on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025.

This LG counter-depth fridge offers extra space inside, earning it a space on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025 for the second year in a row. A full 26.5 cubic feet in this counter-depth French door model fuses style and functionality. Our experts are calling this one a true game changer, as it's the largest capacity model at the time of publication. The classic rule of thumb is to pick an appliance that has around five cubic feet of space per every adult using it, ensuring that this LG refrigerator can handle a family of up to five (with a little bit of wiggle room).

Unlike classic counter-depth construction, a side-by-side build is well-known for its space-saving capacity and the ability to keep lots of food cold at once. While that's enough to get this GE 25.3 cubic foot model on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025, it's got another trick up its sleeve (of course, besides the stainless steel finish and classic water and ice dispenser). With edge-to-edge shelving, this GE fridge offers more convenient food storage, earning it high ratings from happy customers. It's also an employee favorite and one of our best-sellers. That's why we've called it one of our best refrigerators of 2025.

French doors are incredibly popular, so it should be no surprise that you're seeing another one on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025. This Bosch French door refrigerator is an 800 series model, meaning it offers the brand's best features. It's one of the few freestanding models on the market with dual compressors, yet it's incredibly quiet when it's running. The well-lit interior makes it easy to see what you have when you're getting ready to make dinner, and the internal water dispenser keeps cold water handy while keeping the front of the appliance sleek-looking. This fridge is one of our staff picks, too (a favorite of one of our sales experts) so you know it really is one of the best refrigerators of 2025.

Go even further than the classic French door refrigerator with a four-door refrigerator. This smart GE Profile model is one of our best refrigerators of 2025 thanks in part to that fourth door, the drawer between the refrigerator and freezer. The adjustable-temperature drawer is flexible with four different temperature settings: choose between meat, beverages, snacks and wine. The highly-rated refrigerator also features 27 cubic feet of storage, more than enough room for the average family, plus tons of storage options that make it easy to find your favorites and keep them fresh. From removable beverage bins to door-in-door storage and soft-close crisper drawers, everything has a perfect place. And with Wi-Fi connectivity, users can customize features like TurboCool and TurboFreeze in the SmartHQ app—just a few features that make this GE Profile appliance one of our best refrigerators of 2025.

Built-in refrigerators are installed into a kitchen's existing cabinetry, giving these refrigerators a luxe look that makes them popular. It can be hard to choose a favorite—but our choice for the built-in best refrigerator of 2025 is the Thermador T42BT120NS Freedom Collection. With a 23 cubic foot capacity, this shining Thermador model is large enough for a four-person family and maximizes interior space. Meanwhile, the ThermaFlex™ Drawer gives users different temperature options: transform this drawer into extra freezer or refrigerator space, or adjust it for meat and fish, deli and cheeses, cakes and more. Other upgrades land this Thermador a spot on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025, like Diamond ice and cocktail-sized geometric ice, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity and an internal water dispenser. It's all hidden inside this top-tier built-in refrigerator.

The classic top freezer gets a refreshing look with this model by Frigidaire. This choice makes our list of the best refrigerators of 2025 thanks to its plethora of storage solutions in a refrigerator that's 18.3 cubic feet large. It's still big enough for a family of four, and with storage options like gallon door bins and a sliding deli bin, it's not hard to find a spot for everything you're looking for. It's easy to load all of your groceries in after a trip to the store as well. And it's flexible: add an icemaker if you want. If you reorganize your kitchen setup, you can even swap the way your refrigerator opens. This choice for our best refrigerators of 2025 is a great size for homes, condos and apartments, and comes in white, black, and the ever-popular stainless steel.

Our favorite bottom freezer version for our list of the best refrigerators of 2025 isn't a shocker either: this Whirlpool model has a decent amount of space with a 22 cubic foot capacity, but what makes it a standout is its zero clearance door. Just like the side-by-side, you'll have no trouble opening this extra-large door even in small spaces. You can even have it up close to a corner—that zero clearance hinge will allow it to open up just the same. This convenience makes this Whirlpool model one of our best refrigerators for the second year in a row.

The door's special hinge isn't the only thing that earns it a spot on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025. This 33-inch-wide Whirlpool appliance is designed to keep produce as fresh as possible with the FreshFlow™ Produce Preserver as well as the Accu-Chill™ Temperature Management System. Everything within will stay fresh, crisp and cool. And if leftovers or beverages happen to fall over, there's no need to worry: the spillproof shelves keep liquids in one place and make cleanup easier.

The most innovative choice on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025 is a popular pick, and it's clear why—this French door refrigerator sports a bright touchscreen and lots of interior space. This is one of the latest in Samsung's line of Family Hub refrigerators. The smart refrigerator is powered up with intelligence: use the Family Hub screen to stay connected when you're not home. Plan meals, get a look at what's inside the refrigerator, show off family photos, play music and more. Centering your activities at the heart of the home is easy with this innovative, intelligent refrigerator. And one of the most exciting upgrades you'll use every day? There are four different types of ice: cubed ice, Ice Bites, curved ice and crushed ice.

There's more that makes this appliance innovative, too. A fingerprint-resistant finish and improved cooling technology ensure that this fridge is an improvement over any previous tenant. See everything within with the help of bright LED lighting, too, and enjoy a whopping 25 cubic feet of space. The other door includes the water dispenser and two types of ice that make beverage-crafting easier than ever, too. Whether you love the different types of ice or the Family Hub, this appliance is definitely worthy of a spot on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025.

Our list of the best refrigerators of 2025 wouldn't be complete without our top mini fridge.

It has a full 5.6 cupic feet of space within, giving users room for groceries, snacks, beverages and more. Other upgrades include a crisper drawer, can caddy and a freezer space at the top with space for frozen meals and ice cube trays. The door is reversible, too, allowing it to fit into corners and move from space to space. We love the roominess and versatility of this GE model, and that's why it's on our list of the best refrigerators of 2025.
