Shop early and save 40 percent off or more off these editor-approved models. Mini Fridge Without Freezer
Having a major appliance break down right before the holidays is a major headache—particularly if it happens to be your refrigerator. Considering the cost, it isn’t uncommon to put off purchasing a new one. But if you have an inkling that your fridge is about to go on the fritz, this is the time to buy.
That’s because the best Black Friday refrigerator deals are around the corner, and this year, retailers are getting an early jump on dropping Black Friday deals weeks ahead of the big shopping day. You can save up to nearly 50 percent on models from top brands, including GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and Samsung.
If you want to beat the rush—and potentially have a new refrigerator in your kitchen before Thanksgiving—we’ve rounded up the very best Black Friday refrigerator deals that have already dropped.
A good sale on the best French-door refrigerators always gets our attention. It’s the most popular refrigerator style, primarily because items are stored within easy sight and reach, so you you don’t have to bend down to access whatever you need.
Right now, we’re seeing Black Friday refrigerator deals on French door fridges for up to an incredible 49 percent off, like this smart, counter-depth Frigidaire Gallery model, marked down to $2,000 from $3,900. There’s also a smart French-door refrigerator from Samsung with customizable front panels (sold separately) knocked down to $2,000.
The best Black Friday refrigerator deals we’re seeing on side-by-side models average from 30 to 40 percent off. There’s a GE 25-cubic-foot model with an ice maker on sale for $1,100, which is a fantastic value, and Samsung’s side-by-side custom-panel model is priced at $1,399, also nearly 40 percent off.
If you’re searching for a counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator with an ice maker and a fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish, we recommend this Frigidaire Gallery 22-cubic-foot model.
Top-freezer refrigerators tend to cost less than comparable French door and side-by-side refrigerators, and many top-freezer models are garage-ready for extra storage. At the top of our best Black Friday refrigerator list is Frigidaire’s 18-cubic-foot garage-ready model, currently on sale for a reasonable $689.
If you need more capacity, opt for this GE 22-cubic-foot model with a stainless steel smudge-resistant finish, now nearly 30 percent off. And—one of the best values in our lineup—is this 18-cubic-foot model from Whirlpool, available in white or black for only $679.
Bottom-freezer refrigerators excel at keeping frozen food organized as most feature pull-out drawers with built-in dividers, so everything inside is within sight.
Our favorite Black Friday refrigerator deal on bottom-freezer models is this GE model, which includes an ice maker and offers a substantial 25 cubic feet of storage and is now nearly 40 percent off. We also recommend this Hisense counter-depth model, with solid capacity and a fingerprint-resistant finish.
Whether you want a built-in or freestanding wine refrigerator—or one that offers both installation options—models range from under $200 for storing a few bottles and a six-pack to commercial-style coolers with features like dual-zone temperature settings.
For something in between for price and capacity, we recommend this Hisense model, which accommodates 54 wine bottles and is now an incredible 44 percent off. For something a bit larger (and equally sleek), you can save nearly 40 percent off this double-door model with dual-zone temperature control.
The best mini fridges typically come with separate freezers, though there are also models that skip the freezer altogether. Take this retro 3.2-cubic-foot top-freezer mini fridge, available in several fun colors priced well under $200. For a fridge-only, you can save nearly 30 percent off this Danby mini fridge, which features a can dispenser and adjustable shelving.
No. Retailers are already getting a jump on dropping Black Friday sales in mid-November. While prices may be a bit lower on the actual sale day, if you shop now, it may be possible to have a new refrigerator in your kitchen in time for Thanksgiving.
We’re mostly seeing the best Black Friday refrigerator deals average roughly 30 percent off, though there are several models from top brands with deeper discounts of 40 to 50 percent off, including French door refrigerators and some smart models.
For a full-size refrigerator, Lowe’s and Wayfair are offering the biggest discounts, and both have a good selection of models. The place to go for the widest selection of on-sale wine fridges and mini-fridges is Amazon.
