What fridge should I get? I%26#039;m looking at fridges and cars and I%26#039;ve already asked a question about a hybrid car. I want a side by side with the dispensor. Which ones would be effecient?

And here you can input your criteria (i.e. side-by-side) and see what Energy Star fridges are available that meet your criteria:

Maytag and Kenmore seem to make some good ones.

If you%26#039;re in the US there%26#039;s a sticker on it, that lists its%26#039; energy consumption and those of similar models.

Every manufacturer makes some models that are energy efficient, and some not, so you can%26#039;t tell just by the manufacturers name.

Any modern refrigerator will be far more efficient than those made 20 years ago...

Side by sides are inherantly less efficient than top-freezer types.

Most effcient would be SEPARATE %26quot;all-refrigerator%26quot; and chest type freezer.

The %26quot;all-refrigerator%26quot; doesn%26#039;t need a defrost system and the defrost heater (and then cooling stuff back down) uses a lot of extra energy.

Chest freezers dont have the big air-exchange when you open them. So they don%26#039;t have to work as hard to get the temperature back down when you get out your frozen pizza. Kenmore doesn%26#039;t make a Fridge.

All bottom-mount freezer fridges in the US are made by Amana... and relabeled.

Most Kenmore labeled fridges are Whirlpool.. a few are Frigidair or GE.

I worked in appliance repair and sales.

Kenmore fridge. Trust Me
