Convertible refrigerators are refrigerators (or freezers) with adjustable-temperature compartments that you can switch back and forth between fridge and freezer mode. They can be useful when, for any given amount of time, you need more freezer space to fit meat or ice cream, or extra refrigerator room for fresh produce.
Samsung is the flex fridge leader, offering convertible compartments in an array of models, including the RT18M6215SG top-freezer refrigerator and the Family Hub models. Others, like Dacor, also have models with flexible compartments.
The models featured here represent a range of flexible refrigerator configurations and prices. Check our refrigerator and freezer ratings and buying guides for more details.
How We Test Refrigerators and Freezers
After a refrigerator gets wired up with temperature sensors, we monitor it for more than a month in a temperature-controlled chamber to evaluate thermostat control and temperature uniformity. CR’s test engineers collect more than 5.4 million temperature readings for each model to detect warm and cold spots and determine which refrigerators will keep your food fresh longer.
