We logged internal temperatures at six points per cabinet, every minute, for four weeks including deliberate door-opening cycles.
A fridge that swings 3 °C every cycle spoils food faster than one that sits a degree warmer but steady.
Independently tested
Stable temperatures, flexible storage and a quiet compressor.
Best for: Large households that open the fridge constantly

Methodology
Every product here was tested in a working home against standardised tasks. Scores are the mean of five measured criteria and are never adjusted for commercial reasons. How we test · How we review.
The Home Brief
Several mornings a week. No filler, no fake urgency, unsubscribe in one click.
Six machines, standardised soil loads, measured at the seating position.
Service records suggest one appliance is failing earlier than the rest — and it isn't the one you'd guess.
CADR, filter cost and the noise level you'll actually run it at.
We tested frames, foam density and fabric abrasion across twenty-two sofas. Five are worth your money.
