Find the Best Refrigerator for Your Home

Refrigerator Options for Everyone

When it comes to appliances, the refrigerator gets a real workout. Therefore, selecting the best refrigerator for your home is worth careful consideration.

At Lowe’s, you’ll find the right fridge, freezer and accessories for your needs. We have options for every budget and in a variety of brands, finishes and styles.

It’s important to know the pros and cons of each refrigerator style so you can decide which one is right for you.

Top-Freezer Models

Top-freezer refrigerators devote the bottom part of the unit to fresh foods and the top to frozen foods. They’re an excellent choice for small areas — like an apartment kitchen or a garage — where space is at a premium.

These refrigerators are a great value, and our selection at Lowe’s includes models that are ENERGY STAR^® certified — meaning they use less energy than standard models to help save on utility bills. 

Top-freezer refrigerators also come in a variety of colors, so you can choose one that complements your décor. Options include stainless steel, black, white and more.

Bottom-Freezer Models

Bottom-freezer refrigerators have the freezer on the bottom of the unit rather than the top. Look for models with special features, such as deli-style doors that let you see inside and make it easy to find your favorite snacks. Bottom-freezer units tend to be larger and more expensive than top-freezer models.

Side-by-Side Models

Side-by-side refrigerators split the refrigerator in the middle, housing frozen items on the left and fresh foods on the right. Some models offer equal space for both sections, but many allot extra inches to the fridge side. Side-by-side refrigerators are ideal in narrow kitchens because the doors don’t need much clearance to open fully.

Many finishes are available, and side-by-side stainless steel refrigerators are always popular. Got a growing family whose messy fingerprints you’d like to stop seeing on your refrigerator door? End the frustration by choosing a side-by-side unit with a fingerprint-resistant finish.

French Door Models

French door refrigerators are also very popular — combining the drawer-style freezer of a bottom-freezer refrigerator with the low-clearance doors of a side-by-side unit on the top.

If you love entertaining, these units make a great choice, as they offer plenty of room to hold freshly prepared foods. Also, this design reduces energy usage because you won’t let as much cold air out when you open just one door for a single item.

We carry French door refrigerators with a variety of options, including internal and external water dispensers and smart technology, and in a variety of depths. Choose a standard depth or counter-depth refrigerator based on your needs. Some models also feature the option to customize the look of the fridge — like the color or the finish — with panel-ready doors.

Freezerless Models

Most refrigerator models feature a fridge and freezer, so you can store cold and frozen foods in the same unit. But freezerless options can be ideal if you already have a full-size, stand-alone freezer. Because freezerless refrigerators offer more cooling space, they’re a great choice if you need to store large amounts of fresh food.

Refrigerators Aren’t Only for the Kitchen

At Lowe’s, we carry a variety of specialty refrigerators to cover your every need. Check out our selection of dorm refrigerators, including mini fridges with locks.
