The best refrigerators. Our selection 2026

We can find many types of refrigerators on the market, such as two-door refrigerators or American-style refrigerators, but the most convenient and common are combi refrigerators. They offer both cooling and freezing functions in a single unit , saving us space in the kitchen without sacrificing ample storage capacity.

Combi refrigerators, as their name suggests, combine a freezer and a refrigerator . In these refrigerators, the refrigerator is located on the top and is larger, while the freezer drawers are located below.

Combi refrigerators are equipped with two thermostats, one to regulate the temperature of the top compartment and another for the freezer area. In some cases, we can find models with two compressors, which considerably speeds up the freezing process. However, be careful, as this will increase energy consumption.

Refrigerator-freezers have many important safety features, such as door open alarms,  fault alarms , and temperature adjustments, which provide greater convenience and allow you to extend the appliance's lifespan.

They are very useful if they offer compartments with a temperature adjustment function down to 0°C to keep meat and fish fresh. There are also compartments with a temperature adjustment of 3°C to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for a long time.

Some refrigerators feature LED lighting inside the refrigerator compartment, so you can see the entire contents when you open them. Others offer a gradual start-up time, which is easier on the eyes. Some of these appliances also feature LCD screens or a control panel on the front panel, so you can more easily control their functions.

Many of these smart refrigerators , using an app, can tell you when a specific food item is missing or when you should go shopping.

There are models that offer a “Vacation” feature, which allows you to reduce energy consumption while you are away from home for extended periods.

The energy label shows the efficiency class, so you can see the long-term savings. It also shows the noise level expressed in dB emitted by the appliance, which is useful for comparing devices; for example, a noise level of 36 dB or less and 42 dB or less is considered moderate.

Nowadays, there are very quiet models that are barely perceptible. Therefore, if you're someone who's bothered by any noise when you're in silence, it's best to choose one that emits few decibels. Ideally, it should stay around 45 dB, since you won't notice the sound.

Also, you have to take into account the total capacity of the refrigerator, since you can find models with a range between 279 liters and 368 liters , so you can take into account that these storage volumes adapt to your needs.

It is important to consider the design and layout of the space in the combi refrigerators.

As for the interior, the refrigeration area can include bottle racks so you can use the shelves to store other containers. There are also models with adjustable shelves, so you can raise or lower them according to your needs. Other refrigerators have a very large freezer drawer, so you can store a large amount of food.

As for the exterior design, there are combi refrigerators that have anti-fingerprint coated doors, making cleaning easier. There are also models that offer reversible doors, so you can install them on the right or left side depending on your needs. There are also refrigerators with glass doors, which can add a sophisticated and elegant touch to the kitchen.

Combi refrigerators have plenty of space and capacity to store food and drinks, but it's always important to remember that there are specific areas for storing foods that are used more frequently or that, due to their characteristics, need to be consumed more quickly.

These foods should be placed at the top of the refrigeration area, so that they are easily visible, especially cheeses and sausages , but also cooked products, such as cakes and leftovers.

Short-term perishable foods , such as meat and fish, as well as dairy products like yogurt and milk, should be placed in the middle .

At the bottom go the vegetables, fruits and fresh herbs.

As for the organization of the door, the top shelf should be used to store eggs, jam, and butter.

In the middle ones, the containers with sauces and preserves,

The space below can be used to organize larger containers and bottles.

The wattage consumed by a refrigerator-freezer depends on the model. For example, an A+++ energy efficiency rating consumes an average of 191 kWh/year, while an A++ energy efficiency rating can consume around 231 kWh/year, so you should take this into account before choosing one.

This is a system that prevents frost buildup, better maintaining the ideal temperature and humidity inside the refrigerator. It also helps reduce energy consumption.

The freezer drawers are located at the bottom of the refrigerator . Having them at the bottom is more convenient, since the refrigerator is usually opened more often than the freezer.

When it comes to freezer stars , it's important to understand what they mean because they're classified according to their capacities. These symbols refer to the temperature they're capable of reaching to keep all our foods perfectly frozen.

- 1 star reaches up to 6 degrees below zero.

- 2 stars reach 12 degrees below zero.

- 3 stars reach 18 degrees below zero.

- 4 stars freeze at a temperature of up to -24 degrees.
