Frigidaire FFHS2311LW

This {{product.brand.name}} refrigerator is a budget model without frills. But you do get an ice maker and water dispenser, although the temperature varies more than we like to see in both the fridge and freezer compartments, which could lead to premature food spoilage.

With an MSRP of $1899 and a quality that feels like it should be half the price, the FFSC2323LS offers solid temperature consistency and won't add a ton to your electric bill, but it doesn't offer anything to explain the high cost.

The Amana ASD2522WRD is an appliance that aimed for style over performance. What a mistake that was.

A well priced refrigerator with a decent sized fridge and freezer section. But we found that the frozen food melted somewhat quicker than most, and the temperature of the freezer was not constant.

Though better fridges can be found in the same price range, this 19 cubic foot Amana does a decent job for the price. We're not fans of the cheap-feeling interior, but temperature performance is adequate, as is energy use.

This 17.6 fridge is smaller than most, and features a unique exterior finish known as Green Tea. It would work best in a stylish, small kitchen and lives up to its high design with good temperature and energy performance. The inside, however, feels cheap and is not easily customizable.

The Maytag M0RXEMMWB is an average top-freezer with a modern design, an internal icemaker and good energy efficiency. You might have to crank up the temperature control, but what this Maytag lacks in temperature accuracy, it makes up for in consistency.

LG set the standard for top-freezer, entry-level stainless fridges with this 22.0 cubic foot model. It has superb temperature performance and a great fit and finish, though it is a bit of an energy hog.
