![]() To identify whether these fridges had any reliability problems or real-world quirks, we evaluated thousands of owner reviews and reader comments.We traveled to appliance trade shows, and we visited dozens of big-box stores and small showrooms to get hands-on experience with, and a feel for, the quality and sturdiness of our picks.We interviewed repair technicians, appliance-store owners and staff, home cooks, designers, product engineers, and multiple representatives from the brands we cover. ![]() Through-the-door ice and filtered water, two ice makers This model comes with a standard one-year warranty for the refrigerator and a five-year warranty for parts and labor for the compressor and cooling system. Though it lacks Wi-Fi–enabled smart features, it offers a few elevated tech settings, such as the ability to rapidly cool the fridge after you load it with hot leftovers, as well as to ramp up ice production with the touch of a button. The Energy Star–certified PSE25KYH is slightly more energy-efficient than our top pick. This model has a sleeker, more stylish look than most, and its flush-mounted interior LED lighting makes everything inside easier to see. The freezer has drawers instead of wire baskets. A third refrigerator drawer-uncommon on most side-by-sides-is designed to keep items like snacks and cold cuts within easy reach. A partially retractable sliding shelf lets you easily fit tall items upright. Its shelves are as adjustable and sturdy as those of our pick, but with thick edges that catch spills. The 25.3-cubic-foot GE Profile PSE25KYH has all the qualities we like about our top pick and adds higher-end features, functionality, and aesthetics. The LRSDS2706S is available in three finishes. It covers the compressor and cooling system for five years, and it adds an extra five years for parts (but not labor) on those components. Its warranty covers the refrigerator for one year. LG consistently ranks at the top for customer satisfaction in our owner surveys. It has Wi-Fi–enabled smart features, so you can monitor or adjust it remotely. This model also has an in-door water and ice dispenser, as well as a second ice maker in the freezer that makes spheres. The LRSDS2706S has a door-in-door compartment, which allows you to access snacks and drinks without fully opening the fridge. But its layout is significantly less flexible: Only one fridge shelf is adjustable (by just a couple of inches), it offers four door pockets instead of five, and the crisper drawer handles are inconveniently set at almost a floor-level position. It packs 27.3 cubic feet of capacity into a unit with a slightly smaller footprint than that of our pick. If our top pick is unavailable or if you prefer a different brand, the crisply designed LG LRSDS2706S looks great and features a few compelling extras. ![]() This refrigerator is available in three finishes. GE Appliances has high marks for owner satisfaction in our surveys. (GE Appliances also sells a 33-inch version with a smaller freezer.) The GSE25G has a standard one-year parts-and-labor warranty. The GSE25G has a timeless design, though it isn’t quite as sleek as some of our other picks. The fridge has a protective air-venting system that should help keep cold air circulating and prevent food from freezing in the fridge compartment. It doesn’t have Wi-Fi–enabled smart features, but you can monitor and adjust both the fridge and freezer temperatures without opening the door by using the digital controls displayed on its through-the-door dispenser for ice and water. It is noticeably sturdy, with thick built-in shelf supports that seem less likely to break-a common issue with side-by-sides. You can adjust both the refrigerator shelves and the large door pockets to 10 levels (most fridges allow for only two or three). The GE GSE25G is impressively flexible and adjustable, with plenty of storage space (25.3 cubic feet). ![]()
