Now is a great time to buy a new refrigerator as more brands pile on high-end features for less. Got money to burn on a trophy refrigerator? Consumer Reports' tests show that you could get less than you bargained for. When choosing a refrigerator, consider your space, the unit's capacity, and your budget. Stylish variations on top-freezer, bottom-freezer and side-by-side refrigerators are in the stores, including some refrigerators with French doors as well as refrigerator drawers. Because refrigerators are on 24-7, make sure the one you buy is energy efficient.
