Our Review
The Vissani VS146HSTMW 15 cu. ft. Top Freezer is a 14.6 cu. ft. top-freezer refrigerator from Vissani, sitting in the sub-$1,000 range. With a 10.8 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 3.8 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for couples and small families.
What stands out
At this price, Vissani delivers the headline specs (capacity, ice maker, ENERGY STAR rating where present) and skips the extras. If you need a working refrigerator and don't care about cabinet-flush styling or app integration, that's a fair trade.
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 27.9" W × 66.0" H × 31.0" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 14.6 cu. ft., split 10.8 fresh / 3.8 freezer.
Bottom line
The Vissani VS146HSTMW 15 cu. ft. Top Freezer delivers the basics at one of the lowest prices in the category. If your goal is a working fridge with the right capacity, this gets the job done.
