Upgrade Your Kitchen with a New Refrigerator from Van Vreede's

A refrigerator is one of the hardest-working appliances in your kitchen, keeping food fresh, chilling drinks, and making everyday cooking easier. At Van Vreede's, finding the right one means looking past size and color to your family's needs, your kitchen layout, and the features that fit how you live. Our specialists in Appleton, Green Bay, and Oshkosh help you compare every style, and we will meet or beat any competitor's price on the model you choose.

Things to Consider When Buying a Refrigerator

The right refrigerator comes down to a handful of practical details. Run through these before you buy so your new fridge fits the space, your family, and your budget:

• Size and fit: Measure the width, height, and depth of your opening, plus door swing and ventilation clearance. Most kitchens are built for a 30-inch, 33-inch, or 36-inch wide refrigerator.
• Capacity: Plan on roughly 4 to 6 cubic feet per adult. Compact and apartment-size models suit small kitchens, while 22 to 28 cubic foot models handle a busy family.
• Counter-depth vs standard depth: A counter-depth refrigerator sits nearly flush with your cabinets for a built-in look, while a standard-depth model holds more for the same width.
• Energy efficiency: ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators use less electricity and lower your utility bills year after year.
• Ice and water: Decide whether you want an in-door ice and water dispenser, a dual ice maker, or filtered water on demand.
• Features and technology: Look for adjustable shelving, humidity-controlled crisper drawers, advanced cooling, door-ajar alerts, and WiFi-enabled smart controls.
• Finish and style: Choose from stainless steel, black stainless, white, black, and fingerprint-resistant finishes, plus panel-ready options that match your cabinetry.
• Where it will live: For a garage or basement second fridge, look for a garage-ready model rated to run in hot or cold spaces.

Refrigerator shopping is one of the most deal-driven searches around, and Van Vreede's runs savings all year.

Either way, we will meet or beat any competitor's price, so you save even between sales.
