What is the best refrigerator to buy, out of models from Whirlpool and Samsung? Here are two refrigerator manufacturers that produce thousands of appliances and dozens of different models in all kinds of combinations that are priced attractively but realistically. Many of their models can be taken to be deliberately placed against each other in competition, having similar features, looks and price. So which company has the best rated refrigerator in any given price range?

Before we discuss that, let's consider the background of each of these companies as far as selling their refrigerators in the United States is concerned.

Whirlpool is a long established company based in Benton Harbor, MI, and started life in that state in 1911 as the Upton Machine Company. The company has been manufacturing refrigerators since 1955, when it merged with the Seeger Refrigeration Company. It now makes products under not just its own name but also the names of Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Ikea, Sears Kenmore, Kitchenaide and Maytag. All those control around a third of all domestic sales of refrigerators and freezers in the United States.

Samsung is a relative newcomer to selling refrigerators in the US. It has muscled its way into the marketplace since the 1990s by selling quality products at a keenly competitive price.

It had to pull out all the stops in gaining a foothold, and it did this primarily by careful market research to find out what consumers were looking for in a refrigerator freezer. The result was that they introduced a number of innovations in this hitherto rather ordinary appliance, such as external water and ice dispensers, door alarms, and separate air-flow cooling systems for the refrigerator and for the freezer so that their different requirements could be catered for, and the food could be kept fresher for longer.

This competition has been very good for consumers. Both companies constantly seek to out-do each other in terms of price, quality and innovation. Let's look at one particular type of refrigerator that both companies produce and see if either can claim to make the best refrigerator freezer.

The large French door refrigerator in white with external water and ice dispenser, and bottom mounted freezer, is very popular. Both companies produce two models that, in particular, are very attractive to consumers. The prices I mention below are all from each company's main web site, and are probably cheaper on Amazon.

Whirlpool produce two appliances of 26 cu ft. One is the G16FARXXQ at $2,099, and the other is the G16FDRXXQ at $2,299. Both have Whirlpool's own Accu-Chill temperature management system and are ENERGY STAR compliant. Reviewers prefer the latter model, which has a drawer freezer door you can slide out and then use the baskets to lift and inspect all the food in it very easily.

Samsung produce the RF268ABWP (25.5 cu ft) at $2,199 and the RF267AEWP (26 cu ft) at $2,499. Both have Samsung's twin cooling system, self-closing CoolSafe doors, power freeze and power cool, with its 10 minute results, and "kid-friendly EZ-Open Handles" so your children can use it. Reviewers generally like both models.

If these models are representative of all the refrigerators that each manufacturer sells, then there really is very little in it, and it probably comes down to the little things you like or dislike about any particular model.

The features on nearly all similarly priced appliances may go under different names, but essentially give the same results. Their efficiency at delivering cold and frozen food to you, and keeping it fresh and useable for a long time, goes without saying. So when it comes down to what is the best refrigerator to buy - a Whirlpool or a Samsung - then the deciding factors will probably be style and your own particular preferences.
