No kitchen is complete without a refrigerator. But as most homeowners already know, not all of these appliances are created equal. In fact, far from it. It is important to take the time to choose one that will not only fit well into a kitchen, but one that will also last a long time. And of course, it never hurts to make sure that the refrigerator you choose will also fit your needs through the years. With all of this in mind, our favorite top-rated refrigerators are the KitchenAid Multi-Door Refrigerator, the LG Electronics Side-by-Side, and the Frigidaire Side-by-Side. All of these refrigerators come from the top brands in the business, known not only for their name-recognition and success among kitchen appliances in general, but also their longevity, good value and overall high quality. Read on to discover which of these top three refrigerators is the best for your needs.
Obviously, it's important to know whether or not a particular refrigerator will fit within the space provided for it in a kitchen, and this is especially important when buying online. You also want the best refrigerator prices, and you don't want to overpay on a larger model than you need. The KitchenAid model is 70.13 inches tall and 36 inches wide, with 36.25 inches of depth (including the handle). The LG model is 33 inches wide and 66.75 inches tall, with 35.6 inches of depth (with the handle). The Frigidaire is 68.6 inches tall, 35 inches wide and 34.5 inches deep (with the handle).
The amount of storage needed will depend on an individual or family's particular needs. The KitchenAid has 25.8 cubic feet of storage, while the LG has an only slightly more modest 22 cubic feet. Likewise, the Frigidaire has 25.5 cubic feet of storage. All of these are fairly standard storage spaces, but are utilized cleverly and help buyers make the most of it with their variety of storage features.
Currently, the best refrigerator deals for this particular model can be found at Sears, which is offering 10 percent off all appliances in general. The KitchenAid itself is also available in refurbished and floor model conditions at about half the cost of a brand new one. And of course, financing options are available.
The KitchenAid offers all of the best features of modern refrigerators without compromising any style or storage space. In addition to standard features (like a refrigerator interior light and included power cord), this model comes with an ice maker (crused and cubed) and ice dispenser, water filter, interior freezer light, adjustable shelves, humidity controlled crisping drawer, automatic defrost settings, and gallon door storage.
The best deal for this LG model is currently available at BestBuy. Not only are they offering free shipping, but the price tag is slashed considerably and is almost half of what it is at other major retailers. It should be noted, however, that the lowest prices are available on the models that come in white or black, as opposed to the stainless steel version which is a little over $100 more. Advanced financing is also available for BestBuy card members.
The Frigidaire is the cheapest one of the group discussed here today, with the model starting at less than $1,000 at many locations. Sears offers the best deal, with its already 10 percent off appliances and cashback points offer (for use on other Sears products) for this particular model. Free delivery is also available for most locations across the U.S., and financing is available.
This model comes with a humidity controlled crisper, the PureSource 3 Ice and Water filtration system (comes with a dispenser for both), Ready-Select LCD controls, gallon door storage, a freezer interior light, automatic defrost and flexible storage shelves. The Frigidaire is also offered in four different colors: black, white, stainless black and stainless steel. The stainless steel version costs more than the others, but compared to most of its competitors is still a huge steal.
In addition to standard features, the LG offers an ice maker with an ice and water dispenser, gallon door storage, spill-proof shelves, a humidity controlled crisper, five adjustable freezer shelves, a door open alarm, digital temperature control and LED lighting in both the refrigerator and freezer spaces.
