How We Made Our Decisions

All the units above are Energy Star-rated, meaning they're at least 20 percent more efficient than the federal standard. We selected the most efficient fridges of each configuration (top freezer, bottom freezer and side-by-side), which also means they cost less to run and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Compare the energy use and cost to run your existing fridge with the ones above using Energy Star's refrigerator calculator.
