Cheap Fridges

If you're looking to replace your fridge but are on a the tightest budget there are plenty of affordable alternatives available. They vary from 3.2-cubic-foot mini fridges to full-size options with 20 cubic feet or more of storage space.

A majority of the fridges that are affordable have smart features, too. For example, Samsung's French door refrigerators are equipped with Wi-Fi and Google's Bixby and come with humidity-controlled vegetable compartments that seal in moisture to keep vegetables fresher for longer.

This is GE's most affordable French door refrigerator. It dispenses water from its handy in-door dispenser.

It's also made from fingerprint-resistant stainless steel, so it's easy to wipe away smudges for a consistently clean look.

The fridge is equipped with 25.5 cubic feet of storage space, 17.5 of which are specifically devoted to the top compartment of the refrigerator. This is less than average for a fridge with a French door, but should be enough to accommodate the needs of the majority of families. It comes with other interesting features too, such as a water-filter that automatically adjusts to the tap water in your home, and a power-saving mode that reduces consumption of electricity when not in the kitchen.

The GE fridge performed well during our tests, refridgerator but there were some hot areas. The top shelf as well as all of the shelves on the right-door ran too warm and had an average temperature of 40.2 F during a 72-hour test when the fridge was set to its default setting. The bottom shelf was cooler, but it still ran a few degrees warmer than the FDA recommends.

If you want a under counter fridge that isn't too expensive and has the same size, think about the Frigidaire model featuring a top-freezer. It consumes half the electricity in a year and comes with some nice features like bin caddies that can be removed, humidity-controlled crisper cabinets and bin caddies that can be removed. It doesn't include a built-in Wi Fi or water dispenser, but it costs about $500 less.
