10 Reviews: Best Refrigerator Under 1000 (Jun 2023)

Small but functional. Not only does this refrigerator fit the tightest spot, but it also makes your pockets thank you. Yup, you can get this mini fridge for less than 150 bucks. This compact unit presents ample space for food, soda, beer, and other beverages with the least energy. Not only that, it is super flexible with a reversible door, leveling legs, and adjustable temperature control.

This is the one to buy if quiet running important to you! I bought and returned 2 others that were really noisy, despite what some reviewers had to say. Nicer features, too. Glass shelf, wider freezer compartment and the door compartments restrain bottles. Buy it!

Almost hitting $250, the COSTWAY Compact Refrigerator boasts its quiet engine that runs at 40 dB for a peaceful kitchen experience. The brand also guarantees to keep ice frozen solid and foods perfectly chilled quickly and constantly. That way its smaller size doesn’t lessen the performance. For extra, your purchase includes an ice tray to keep your orange juice fresh all summer long.

VERY pleased. Freezer is much larger than other models looked at. It' s also nice having a light in the fridge section. Works like a charm. Arrived well packaged with no dents. Thanks, Larry

If you’re into unique, retro design, there is nothing better than the Galanz GLR10TBKEFR Retro Refrigerator. Comes in five gorgeous colors including pastel green and blue, this pick is perfect to express your personality. The unit utilizes an R600a high-efficiency and low-energy consumption compressor to help cool food quickly. Not only that, you’ll love the large and transparent crystal crisper to stock fruits and greens.

I turned this fridge on to the highest cold setting to store some popsicles thinking it would be decent but not great as most mini-fridges tend to be Meh. These popsicles got so cold that my lips got stuck to them and I actually lost some skin. This is a great minifridge and I love it. Torn about frozen face be damned.

At the under $1,000 price point, the Insignia NS-RTM18WH7 will offer the most bang for your buck. The full-size fridge offers plenty of storage space, perfect for produce, meats, and leftovers. Ah, and if low energy consumption is your thing, good news because this unit is Energy Star certified. Now, there is no need to worry about electricity bills.

We purchased an open box unit and I was fairly skeptical. But it has been in my home for 3 weeks and it works great and is a perfect fit in my Kitchen. We are very pleased. And a great price.

Unlike other products, Danby DFF092C1BSLDB comes with a bottom freezer and is wrapped in a stainless steel finish which makes it look great. This design allows commonly used items at eye level in the upper refrigerator compartment. Plus, despite its 9.2-cubic foot capacity, this unit packs quite a punch when it comes to storage space. This pick won’t fail to compliments any kitchen bar or rec room.

Have had this for only a couple weeks but so far so good. It’s good size for one or two ppl and is functioning well so far - no freezing spots in the fridge area, even temp etc. will update if anything goes wrong. I’m very happy with size of this and how it functions.

You’ll never have to worry about cooling space again with this 13.9 cu. ft. top-freezer refrigerator from Frigidaire. If the space you have available for a fridge is quite cramped, this unit is an excellent fit. Besides, your electricity bills will get a much-needed break since this efficient device comes with the coveted Energy Star designation and the smart brushed steel finish indicates it’s easy to keep clean.

Have had this refrigerator for a month. It was the largest one I could find that still fit in my condo. It looks great and works great, which I would expect because it’s one of the most reliable brands, based on brands with fewest repairs and longest life.

I love my new refrigerator! It was much larger inside than I had anticipated.

Let’s move on to Whirlpool 17.6-cu ft Top-Freezer Refrigerator. This unit has more than enough room for larger bottles and the spacious unit offers an optional icemaker. You will need to install the ice maker yourself but it only needs less than 5 minutes. Let’s also thank the Flexi-Slide™ bin that adjusts to make space for tall items as well as the helpful LED interior lighting that keep food looking like it should.

I purchased this appliance to replace my 1995 whirlpool appliance. This one fit just right and it has ample space. Not as small as it looks, packs a big punch in the space category. Easy to disassemble and re assemble if needed. Easy to clean as well. A+++++++++

Maytag is one of the most reliable brands when it comes to quality appliances. This sleek fridge is no exception. It is packed with a ton of storage and a unique feature – PowerCold® that chills down the refrigerator to help keep everything cool with the touch of a button plus BrightSeries ™ LED lighting to illuminate the interior. This is the fridge to get if you have a big family or just a few big eaters.

This fridge was worth the wait. My previous fridge was a Maytag and it lasted over 30 years. I'm hoping this one will too. The interior is very spacious and it so easy to see everything with the shelving being clear. The freezer is huge. I love it.
