With the advent of the modern refrigerator, the appliance has moved from just being the ‘ice box’ to something that makes a statement about your home and kitchen. With so many features, styles, and colors offered for refrigerators, brands can often leave you confused as to which one to get. There are many factors that you need to consider before buying a refrigerator. Some of these factors include the cost, dimensions, type, installation procedures, star energy ratings, and warranties among the many others.

Buying a refrigerator is not a small investment and should not be done hastily. Take your time to understand all the features and how well it performs by asking friends or family who may own the same model you want to buy. But since there are so many options out there in the market, you may not always find someone you know to give you an honest feedback of the refrigerator. You can still look at online reviews in such a case. Here are the reviews for the top refrigerators of 2017.

LG LTCS24223S 24 cu. ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator

This is one of the best in class refrigerators. It is spacious and offers ample storage capacity for both, fresh foods as well as frozen foods. The freezer compartment is one of the biggest one in its category. The fresh food section is even more significant than some French door models. However, the cooling performance is not as high as the other models with large top freezers. If you are looking for more space on a small budget and there are no clearance refrigerators in the French door category, then this is an ideal model for you.

Whirlpool WRB322DMBB Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

The model comes from a brand that has been trusted by several households when it comes to both large and small home appliances as it offers a great performance. This refrigerator model from Whirlpool also lives up to the reputation of the brand in terms of performance. The cooling performance is high and is one of the best models of the bottom freezer category. The model is available in a stainless steel design as well. The refrigerator costs around USD 1400-1500 but if that’s out of your budget, then you can wait for it to be put up as one of the clearance refrigerators. The only aspect where the model does not perform well is in the design. It lacks the modern design features and looks as compared to other refrigerators.

LG LSXS26326S 26 Cu Ft Side by Side Refrigerator 

This is one of the favorite models from the side by side door model refrigerators. These models are one of the low clearance refrigerators in terms of the clearance they need on the side for the door to be opened conveniently and fully. This stainless steel beauty from LG grabs the spotlight in the side by side category when it comes to space. The cooling performance is on point and one of the best in the class. The features that this model lacks but is present in most side by side models are spill-proof shelves and humidity sliders. The model is the best when it comes to the side by side refrigerator category in terms of the performance and roominess.

The choice of your fridge should be an informed one, so take your time to browse the net and stores for various options. Look up for any reviews of the models you like to get a better understanding before buying any refrigerator model.
