If you've been waiting to replace your refrigerator, this could be the right time to get a good deal. Prices are stable, energy use is about half of what it was in 1990, and stores need to make room for new models. Plus, you'll find more features in every price range.

Even economy models priced as low as $500 now offer spillproof shelves, gallon-jug storage on the door, and icemakers. Midpriced refrigerators ($1,000 to $1,500) have water and ice dispensers on the door plus your choice of a stainless-steel or stylish high-gloss finish that's easy to clean. Inside, they feature temperature-controlled drawers that help keep food fresh longer.
