How Much Do Refrigerators Cost?

A refrigerator is arguably the most common home appliance in the world. You’ll find a refrigerator in nearly every home. So most homeowners have experience in purchasing, or at least owning a refrigerator.

If you’re trying to get a new refrigerator, or perhaps your first one, it’s a good idea to know about the average prices.

While refrigerator prices vary a lot, it’s helpful to divide them up by types of refrigerators. Here are the types of refrigerators and how much each type costs:

Single-Door Refrigerator

This is the most simple and inexpensive refrigerator. It’s small and it only has one. The size and capacity are pretty low, and the freezer compartment is small.

A single door refrigerator will cost between $100 and $200. Some of the higher end models will cost more. 

Double-Door Refrigerator

This is the most common type of refrigerator. It has one large compartment for refrigeration, and a separate freezer compartment.

Double-door fridge prices will vary a lot. They are usually between $300 and $700. This is the recommended fridge for most homes. Besides looking at the prices, you should also read reviews to make the best choice. For example, lists of best refrigerators can give you an idea of which one to buy. There are lots of lists, for different countries. It’s always a good idea to check coupon websites for additional savings.

Triple-Door Refrigerator

Triple-door refrigerators are slightly more expensive than double-door ones, but not by a lot. They provide a little extra space. Expect them to cost between $700 and $1000.

Most people don’t have a need for triple-door refrigerators, unless they need a lot of space.

Side-By-Side Refrigerator

This fridge has a unique kind of design. Instead of having doors stacked on top of each other, its door open side-by-side. There’s not much practical difference between this and the other refrigerators. But the design is different. And these refrigerators are becoming more popular and commonly used. They cost between $700 and $900.
