How we compiled this

Roster covers ten high-search full-size refrigerator models from Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE Profile, Bosch, Frigidaire, Cafe, KitchenAid, and Maytag. Specs sourced from manufacturer product pages and corroborated by major retailers (Best Buy, Lowe's, Home Depot, AJ Madison, US Appliance, Warner's Stellian) and the EPA ENERGY STAR product database. Capacity figures are in cubic feet as published by the manufacturer (note several brands round, e.g. Whirlpool markets the 24.7 cu ft unit as '25', Frigidaire markets the 27.8 unit as '28', Bosch markets the 20.8 unit as '21'; we use the precise figure). counter_depth is a boolean (true = designed to sit roughly flush with standard cabinetry). water_dispenser true if any built-in water dispensing is present (internal or external). smart_wifi and energy_star per confirmed manufacturer or EPA listing. priceUsd is the published US MSRP/list price in USD; where a model is discontinued the last published list price is used. accessedAt 2026-06-15. Adversarial re-verification corrected one materially wrong price (KitchenAid KRFC704FPS), relabeled GE as the GE Profile sub-brand, and swapped one unverifiable corroboration URL (Bosch).
