Refrigerators are an expensive investment that you may live with for years to come, which makes research brands and selecting one suitable for your lifestyle essential.
Side-by-side refrigerators are highly sought-after due to their ample storage capacity and reliability. They feature door trays for bottles and condiments, adjustable shelves to accommodate larger items and improved lighting over containers.

Samsung’s futuristic Family Hub fridge aims to help families remain organized and connected.
It features a large display with calendar, note board and to-do lists; plus it has cameras to keep an eye on things and can even link with smart homes.

4. LG LSF604S
LG offers this refrigerator in both stainless steel and their PrintProof finish that resists fingerprints and smudges, with their InstaView Door-in-Door feature equipped with tinted panels that turn clear upon repeated knocking to make reaching frequently used items easy while simultaneously conserving energy by keeping cold air locked inside the fridge.

Notable feature of this refrigerator: its tinted door panel that allows users to see what’s inside without opening the fridge and thus reduces lost cool air.
7. LG LSF607S
LG fridges such as the LFXS32726S connect seamlessly with your home Wi-Fi and are controlled through smartphone apps or digital assistants, storing recipes and creating shopping lists as well as notifying you when their ice tray is full. Furthermore, this French door model features an extra shelf designed to store kids snacks at an ergonomic height – something it performed extremely well during our storage tests.
8. LG LSF608S
If aesthetic is more important to you than smart features, LG’s French door model may be just what’s needed in your kitchen. It boasts a generous deli drawer as well as child-safe shelves to easily store Jell-O and juice boxes.
Energy Star certification will keep your electric bill low, and most reviewers found this refrigerator durable and reliable.
9. LG LSF609S
This LFXS32726S refrigerator may not stand out visually, but it stands out with strong performance in our energy tests and offering plenty of storage space.
As with other smart refrigerators, this model can be controlled either with your smartphone or by providing simple voice-commands to a digital home assistant. Additionally, it offers storage capabilities and shopping lists – providing maximum efficiency and convenience!
10. LG LSF607S
LG’s French-door fridge may not qualify as a smart refrigerator in the traditional sense, but its generous capacity and reasonable price make up for that shortcoming. My tests went smoothly; its kid shelves (designed specifically to hold Jell-O, pudding and juice boxes at an appropriate height for children) proved much easier for my testing than many other models’ versions.
It features an interactive display that transforms into a transparent window, while its app provides access to recipes, food items and shopping lists.
