Fridges

A fridge runs day and night for years, so its energy use and noise level weigh heavily in the choice. Usable capacity, shelf layout and whether the freezer sits at the top or the bottom make the real difference day to day. Frost-free cooling spares you defrosting but dries out poorly wrapped food more quickly. Connected features are rarely as useful as they sound.

The buying guide

Choose by use

The right product depends on the situation. Each page below takes the category’s criteria and changes their weight for one specific need.

Fridge for a studio or bedroom Placed near the bed or sofa, a studio fridge is judged first on quietness, before size or price. Read Fridge for a large family With several children, groceries pile up fast: storage capacity and freezing power matter more than quietness here. Read Fridge for a holiday home Occupied only part of the time, a holiday home faces long outages: power failure autonomy matters more than capacity. Read

What we rate in this category

Every product in the category is rated from 0 to 100 on these criteria : the same for all of them, whichever merchant sells it.

Read the full method
Capacity
Measures the total net storage volume. The longer the bar, the more room the fridge offers for food.
Consumption
Measures the energy used over a year. The longer the bar, the less electricity the fridge consumes.
Quietness
Measures the noise level during operation. The longer the bar, the quieter the fridge.
Freezing
Measures the amount of fresh food that can be frozen in a day. The longer the bar, the higher the freezing capacity.
Power failure autonomy
Measures how long food stays cold during a power cut. The longer the bar, the greater this autonomy.
Price
Compares the fridge’s price to the market. The longer the bar, the better the price.

Price brackets by tier

Orders of magnitude, not displayed prices: a price only appears on Kalyneo once it has been collected from a merchant, with its collection date.

Under €250

Modest usable volume, static cooling and basic shelving, fine for a small flat but with noise and running costs worth checking.

€250 to €600

Capacity grows, fan assisted cooling limits frost build up and insulation improves, bringing more reasonable daily energy use.

Over €600

Large usable volume, quiet fan assisted cooling and flexible compartments, with low running costs despite a bulkier footprint.

The buying guide for this category Buying guide: how to choose a fridge A fridge is chosen first on its storage capacity and annual energy consumption, then on how quiet it runs day to day. Freezing capacity and power failure autonomy separate models that otherwise look similar on paper. Read the guide
