    In our tests, we outfit each refrigerator with thermocouples in a climate-controlled chamber and monitor it for a month, collecting more than 5.4 million temperature readings that identify warm and cold spots. These recordings help us determine which models will keep your food fresh longer. We also factor in survey data from thousands of CR members to judge brand reliability and satisfaction. All of that data and more informs CR’s refrigerator ratings and each model’s Overall Score.

    CR members can read on for ratings and reviews of the eight best 33-inch refrigerators from our rankings. The list includes a top pick and a runner-up for each configuration—top-freezer, bottom-freezer, side-by-side, and French-door—from such brands as GE, LG, and Samsung.
