The Best Refrigerators For Under $1500

Buying a new refrigerator can be exciting but it can also be stressful because you want to make sure you're getting a great product for a great price.

There are a lot of different products to consider, too. Modern refrigerators have many configurations including side-by-side, featuring the refrigerator on one side and the freezer on the other; top freezer, which is the traditional look with the freezer on the top and the refrigerator on the bottom; bottom freezer, which has a refrigerator on the top and the freezer on the bottom; and French door, which has a freezer on the bottom and two side-by-side refrigerator doors on top.

Before you head out to the store to shop for a refrigerator, or buy one online, figure out how much space you have for the new appliance. Measure how tall and wide the space is — most refrigerators are around 36 inches, but many are smaller. You'll need at least one inch of clearance for the door to open. If you have a family of four, you'll likely need a fridge that's at least 19 to 22 cubic feet, says Consumer Reports.

Sometimes you need a new refrigerator because your old one broke. Or, maybe you need an extra refrigerator for the garage, a rental unit, or your basement. Whatever the reason you need a new fridge, you'll want one that's going to fit your space, meet your refrigeration needs, and fit your budget. That's why we're taking a look at some of the best refrigerators under $1,500.
