Top Rated, Energy Star Refrigerators
by Justin Thomas, Virginia on 09.20.05
In terms of quality, cost and energy efficiency, Kenmore refrigerators get high ratings from Good Housekeeping and Consumer Reports. They make many "no-frills" refrigerators which are Energy Star compliant. Kenmore fridges have factory-installed ice makers, which are less prone to break down than those built into the door. For example, a reasonably priced, mid-sized Kenmore fridge is available from Sears for about $430. Top-freezer and bottom-freezer refrigerators are more energy efficient than "side-by-side" models, and they are less expensive. See this report from the Green Guide, for a list of the best Energy Star compliant refrigerators.
If you are looking for a very energy efficient fridge, try models from Avanti and Sunfrost. These fridges are best if you are looking for extreme energy savings, or if you are off-grid and using solar power for example.

Can anyone tell me what Kenmore model is shown here on the opening page?
Could someone tell me why top-bottom refrigerators are more energy-efficient?
