Our Review

The Aviva ARTM142 14 cu. ft. Top Freezer is a 14.2 cu. ft. top-freezer refrigerator from Aviva, sitting in the sub-$1,000 range. With a 10.5 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 3.7 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for couples and small families.

What stands out

This is squarely a mainstream model — Aviva optimizes for value, parts availability, and a feature set that covers what most households actually use. You won't find exotic materials, but everything that ships works as advertised.

ENERGY STAR Most Efficient certification means it sits in the top ~10% of the category for energy use. At ~333 kWh/year, expect roughly $53 in annual running cost at the U.S. average electricity rate — meaningfully less than older models from a decade ago.

Layout and capacity

Exterior dimensions are 28.0" W × 61.0" H × 31.0" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 14.2 cu. ft., split 10.5 fresh / 3.7 freezer.

Bottom line

The Aviva ARTM142 14 cu. ft. Top Freezer is a strong mainstream choice — most of what people actually use a fridge for, at a price that makes sense. Service parts are widely available.
