How much does the refrigerator weigh?

The first commercially available refrigerator was sold by General Electric in 1927 for $525, which when adjusted for inflation is about $7,400 in 2023.

The weight of a refrigerator varies greatly depending on its model and size. A medium-sized fridge can weigh around 100 to 150kg, while compact models can weigh between 30 and 50kg, and large fridges can weigh over 200kg.

The history of refrigerators began in the late 18th century, but they did not become widely available until the mid-20th century. The weight of a refrigerator is important for several aspects, including installation, transport and energy efficiency. For example, refrigerators need to be moved carefully to avoid damaging their internal components. Moreover, larger refrigerators tend to consume more energy, but their capacity is larger, making them more suitable for larger families.
