Homeowners Are Loving These Highly Rated Refrigerators From Home Depot

Shopping for a brand new refrigerator can be daunting, to say the least. Choosing the right refrigerator for your kitchen takes a lot of thought and consideration, as you need to measure the area, map out the floor plan, and take note of all of the new and trendy features that are (or aren't) worth splurging on. If you're stuck in decision paralysis from the hundreds of viable fridge options, choosing among a myriad of features like french doors, built-in water filters, and separate beverage areas (to name a few), you're not alone. That's why we've compiled six of the most highly-rated refrigerators from Home Depot, with insight from real shoppers that ensure these picks are worth the money. 

One easy way to narrow down selections (and a method we used to compile this list) is to look at the brand of a refrigerator to get to know if it'll be reliable or not. There are a few major refrigerator brands to avoid, like Samsung, which has a low rating on the Consumer Affairs website. On the other hand, brands like GE and Whirlpool consistently make the "best of" lists and are generally considered to be more reliable. When thinking about customer reviews, it's also critical to look for models that have enough reviews to really deserve their high rating — we've set the line at having at least 20 unique reviews. While some fridges have five stars, their few reviews make the rating less trustworthy. 

Coming from a reputable brand, the GE four-door French Door refrigerator from Home Depot has loads of features that make it well worth the $2,898 price tag. One unique element is the auto-fill pitcher, which is like having a Brita pitcher built into your refrigerator: it fills when the fridge is closed, and can easily pop out of its spot to be used to pour drinks or water plants as needed. The top section of the fridge is an expandable French Door, which opens to both sides and makes it easy to access all point of the fridge, and then there's a unique drawer beneath it. The center has its own separate temperature control panel, and can be used to store specific beverages, meats, or produce. 

The refrigerator has 23 reviews on the Home Depot site, and they're all very positive. "This is the best fridge I've ever had. It has so much space, works beautifully, nothing freezes even when pushed against the fridge wall, holds temperature and the auto refill water pitcher is genius!" one happy reviewer wrote, giving the fridge a five-star rating. There are only two reviews below 5 stars, and they are both ranked at 4 stars simply due to the auto-fill water pitcher. One reviewer noted that the pitcher feels too small for a family, and another said that the filters for the pitcher were expensive, making it less worthwhile as a feature. 

LG's 3-Door French Door Refrigerator is another large option that's great for big families, or people who love having a well-stocked kitchen. The chic, trendy French Doors are made with thinner walls and "zero clearance" hinges that allow them to open in a tighter space. The Stainless Steel refrigerator surface is "PrintProof" meaning no finger (or paw) prints will be visible on the exterior. And, perhaps the most unique feature, the fridge has a built-in ice and water dispenser with three types of ice. On top of the typical cubed and crushed ice options, you can also dispense round, "craft" ice with just the push of a button. 

The LG pick has 4.8 stars after 83 reviews, meaning that 97% of customers who reviewed it gave highly positive remarks. Many customers remarked on the notable "zero clearance" doors and the craft ice. " Its big enough for a family of four to store everything we need inside, yet sleek enough to add to the capital value of our home. The zero clearance hinges are great," one reviewer wrote. They added, " I can't lie, the craft ice on this fridge makes me feel so spoiled and I love it." The negative reviews also commented on the same features, but from a different perspective. "The doors don't open very wide so it makes it hard to get things in and out of the refrigerator," said one of the two 2-star reviews. 

If you're looking to keep things simpler, or you don't have enough space carved out for a wide, French door model, this Sharp Counter Depth Bottom Freezer is a safe and reliable bet. Its sleek size helps it blend into just about any kitchen setup, and buyers remarked that it's long-lasting. The 24-inch appliance is made of fingerprint and smudge-resistant stainless steel and has a freezer with 4.2 cubic feet of storage. The model also comes with a removable wine rack for chilling your favorite whites and rosés, and has a panel with pre-set modes so you can easily create the perfect temperature for both your fridge and freezer sections. 

The product nets out at 4.8 stars after 24 reviews on Home Depot's site and has only one 3-star review as its lowest rating. Positive reviews got straight to the point: "This is hands down the best refrigerator I've ever experienced. Everything works smoothly, and has a good amount of space," one five-star reviewer wrote. "I have had the refrigerator 7 years haven't had any major problems," another buyer reported. As for the lower review, the customer didn't note any negatives about their experience, and simply wrote "This is a very nice looking refrigerator," so it's safe to say that there aren't really any major red flags when it comes to this beloved Sharp model. 

If the silvery look of traditional stainless steel isn't really your thing, this highly rated ZLINE French Door Refrigerator is made of black stainless steel, which has all of the same durability but a sleek, unique look. The fridge also comes with polished gold handles — you can get them to be flat (pictured above) or in a bar handle shape, and they add a perfect, sparkly accent to the appliance. Other noteworthy features on this $3,419 model include a dual ice maker, an expansive inside totaling 28.9 cubic feet of capacity between the fridge and freezer, and plenty of chic built-in storage compartments. 

This ZLINE pick is rated 4.8 stars on Home Depot's website, after 47 total reviews that praise its spaciousness and chic appearance. "I got this refrigerator a couple of months ago and am so happy I did. It has great storage capacity and keeps all of my food very organized. 10/10 recommend," one buyer remarked. "Everyone who comes over talks about how gorgeous it is!" another happy shopper said. The only low reviews were all three stars, and mentioned some minor issues with the ice maker and water filters as well as a too-small drawer in the freezer. "I'm going on the 3rd ice maker... they just don't seem to want to work," one reviewer said. But, they noted: "This is the only complaint I have with this item, otherwise I love this fridge." 

The Cafe brand is owned by GE and features chic appliances like this Matte White French Door Refrigerator — plus, in line with the Cafe name, you get a matching coffee maker when you purchase a fridge, two sweeten the deal. The aesthetically pleasing white finish gives this appliance a more unique look, and pairs well in colorful kitchens or homes that like to avoid the industrial feel of stainless steel. Other great features include an auto-fill pitcher, which slides in and out of its storage place in the refrigerator door and can dispense water without even being removed. The fridge also has a center drawer for unique storage that the brand calls "soft freeze" since it ranges from 23 to 42 degrees. 

This Cafe fridge has 4.9 stars on Home Depot's website after 20 reviews. Customers loved the chic look of the refrigerator as well as the spacious interior, the center drawer, and the water pitcher. "It's a beautiful refrigerator, seems to be well made. Love the water pitcher feature and ice maker in the freezer compartment. Very happy," one reviewer wrote. "This refrigerator is gorgeous! The option to convert the snack drawer to freezer mode was the essential reason to purchase this product," another buyer said. The only two negative remarks were about the built-in LED lighting. "Only thing I do not like is the light inside. Even turned up on the app it is not very bright inside," someone said.
