The Five Most Expensive Refrigerators In The World

Fridge

If you've had to replace your refrigerator recently then you know that this is an appliance that is expensive to replace. It's not a good idea to buy a used model because you may be taking on someone else's headache and there is generally no warranty or guarantee to go with a used appliance.

On average, you can find a quality model for a family of 4 for about $750, but this is without the bells and whistle. The better refrigerators run between $1,200 up to $3,500.

For your entertainment and consideration, here are the five most expensive refrigerators in the world.
