what is the best review/research website for refrigerators?

Question

I am looking to buy a new fridge. What is the best site to research the good, bad & ugly of new fridges??

Answer 1

unfortunately it's not a web site (well, they have a site, but youhave to subscribe)
www.consumerreports.com
I subscribe to their magazine, and they do test on everything, plus, they give reliability figures based on their subscribers annual survey of actual problems and satisfaction. for 2006 it was based on 1,300,000 answers to surveys. I bought my 25 cf sife by side last year based on their analysis. I bought a GE (it was rated #2) because of it's rating and it's price (around $900 to a 1,000) and it's been an awesome frig.
you can go online and see which issue did the test, and go to the library to read the test results. when possible I don't buy anything without researching it and one of my primary sources is CR I've subscribed for 25 years or so, and I tend to be sorta nerdy that way (researching)(retired engineer). mine tends to be noisier than most, but boy, does it work well. LG doesn't get very cold. we have owned side by sides for 35 years and they tend to not get as cold as the upright type. this GE is the exception.

Answer 2

I went to view my possess fridge and my vegetable crisper has a lever to keep an eye on the ventilation to that distinct drawer. Another drawer, the beef drawer, has a bit vent which permits in cooler air. There is a Handy Drawer, wherein the cheeses and puddings are saved, it is simply because it says, HANDY. The Butter compartment is often closed, to ban airflow which might harden the butter's floor, or dry it out. My new gizmo stuffed refrigerator did not have an egg box despite the fact that, so I appropriated an egg holder from the prior fridge. I additionally just like the ridges at the fringe of the cabinets that hold spilt units from going to the backside of the unit. :P who'd a thunk it.
