Best Side-by-Side Refrigerators
Hotpoint HSS22GFTWW side-by-side refrigerator: There were actually a couple Hotpoint models which were rated very highly, but this one stands out from the crowd - not because it’s flashy, but it’s just an all around solid performer. It has external temperature controls, adjustable shelves, and of course the external water & ice dispensers. It’s not the biggest (22 cu. ft.) or the priciest (around $1,000) side-by-side refrigerator, but it does have all the basics covered.
Kenmore Elite CS 57442 side-by-side refrigerator: This side-by-side fridge is large and packed with features. It’s a whopping 25.1 cubic feet, and includes features such as through-the-door water & ice dispensers and an in-door ice storage. You can really notice the build quality and attention to detail. The exterior display is pretty cool as well. It does lack an egg rack though. Pricing is around $2,500.
Whirlpool GC55SHEXN side-by-side refrigerator: You won’t find a better combination of style & function than this fridge. It’s very nice looking and comes loaded with lots of extras. One cool feature is the cooling system on the doors. Even when you swing open the doors, the cold air is still blasting on your goods that need kept cool. All the shelves are adjustable, and there’s a lot of room to play around with. Also, the ice maker is much quicker than other similar brands. Pricing is in the $2,500 range (varies a bit).
Samsung QautroCooling Side-by-side refrigerators: Samsung’s line of QuatroCooling refrigerators are fairly well-liked by professional reviewers and users alike because they are feature packed, and you can personalize them to a degree. Inside, there are 4 compartments which you are able to turn into either a refrigerator or a freezer. Their pretty neat to use, but some people find all the choices & features a bit daunting. The Samsung RM257ACRS is the most likely model you’ll find in stores (costs around $2,700).
There are a lot of other very good choices, which could potentially make this list of the best side-by-side refrigerator models (e.g. - General Electric Profile PSF26NGTWW, Maytag MSD2652, Frigidaire FSC23R5D & the KitchenAid KSRS25CN). I happen to like the Hotpoint side-by-side refrigerator the best. It’s cheap and does the job. However, if money wasn’t holding me back I think I would opt for the Whirlpool model or even a KitchenAid. Overall, a very good line-up here.
