Review With otherwise impressive features and a good capacity for a reasonable price, the warranty of the GE GFW450SSMWW lets it down.

REVIEW The LG LSXC22396D gets you door-in-door and InstaView functions and is Energy Star certified. If you've got the money, we think it's worth it.

The Samsung RH22H9010SG is a great counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator with a host of modern features, but it comes at a cost.

REVIEW It has a mid-to-low price and features a few smart ideas, but the Whirlpool WRS321SDHZ lacks space-saving touches and a decent warranty.

REVIEW The ten year warranty helps to justify the high price the KitchenAid KRSF705HPS.

REVIEW The GE Appliances GSS25GSHSS is a great no-nonsense side-by-side refrigerator.

REVIEW With a large price tag, the GE GNW128PSMWW also comes with a large capacity.

REVIEW The Magic Chef MCSTCW16W4 cuts down on energy and water usage at an affordable price.

REVIEW The Danby DWM060WDB stands out for portability and impressive capacity.

REVIEW The Amana AS12575GRS is an affordable refrigerator with varied storage space for fresh and frozen food.

The Maytag MTUC7500AFM is a 1.4-cubic-foot trash compactor that our research shows works well. Further, in addition to the industry-standard one-year appliance warranty, Maytag includes an exceptional 10-year warranty on parts. No other trash compactor we reviewed has as long of a warranty.

The budget-friendly Kenmore 14729 trash compactor does everything expensive garbage compactors do and includes most of the same features, though it doesn’t have an air freshening system.

The Whirlpool TU950QPXS trash compactor is made of smooth stainless steel and includes several useful features.

The KitchenAid KTTS505EPA is a powerful, 1.4-cubic-foot trash compactor with a 5-to-1 compaction ratio, which means it can compress five bags of garbage down to one. During our research, we found that its 1/3 HP engine is quiet.

The Kenmore Elite 14733 trash compactor has a compaction ratio of 5-to-1, so it can make five bags of trash the size of just one. This can reduce your home’s trash volume by up to 80 percent.

The basic but useful Gladiator Garage Compactor GACP15XXMG is a portable trash compactor, and because it’s meant to be stored in the garage, it doesn’t take up any precious kitchen space.

The GE Universal UCG1680LSS is a built-in trash compactor, so it must be installed next to your cabinets. However, you can choose a panel-ready version and add a custom wood panel that makes the compactor look like it’s just another cupboard. It also comes in white, black and stainless steel.
