South Korean tech leaders LG Electronics Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. have earned top accolades for their refrigerators in a recent evaluation by a prominent U.S. consumer magazine, according to industry sources.

Consumer Reports, known for its rigorous reviews, selected LG refrigerators as the “Best Refrigerators of 2025” in two distinct product categories. Meanwhile, in another refrigerator model category, Samsung secured the top spot, with LG closely following in second place.

These rankings were determined through comprehensive assessments of key features, including temperature control, uniformity, and energy efficiency. Additionally, feedback from customer surveys on hundreds of refrigerator models available in the U.S. market played a pivotal role in the evaluation.

South Korean brands, led by Samsung and LG, continue to dominate the U.S. refrigerator market, boasting a combined market share of nearly 50%. This strong presence underscores their reputation for innovation and quality.

It’s worth noting that LG and Samsung also earned top honors in the washer and dryer combo categories in a prior evaluation by the same magazine, further solidifying their standing as industry trailblazers.
