Rank #1 in Best American Fridge Freezer 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Capacity Figures Break
Fridgemaster MS83430ES 441L Side-by-Side Fridge Freezer
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Fridgemaster MS83430ES takes the number one spot in this guide at £449 — the lowest price of the five side-by-side fridge freezers ranked here. It is a 441-litre freestanding model with Total No Frost, an inverter compressor and an E energy rating, finished in silver and measuring 83.2 x 178.0cm.
Where four of the other listings in this guide push a whole-cabinet figure into a single-compartment field, this one keeps it simple in a different way: it quotes 441 litres and stops. Neither the bullets nor the spec table says how much of that 441 is fridge and how much is freezer, so the total is the only capacity number a buyer can check. The ratings have a gap of their own — the header says 102 ratings, but the five bars underneath add up to 100 (74 five-star, 14 four-star, 3 three-star, 1 two-star and 8 one-star). Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.
How those 102 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.
