Roper RT18SKXRD Top-Freezer Refrigerator

Date Published: 5/5/08

You may not have heard of Roper, but the company's RT18SKXRD is an attractive top-freezer refrigerator that offers a respectable collection of features at a very affordable price.

This medium-sized refrigerator comes in a wonderful silver contoured door cabinet, so it has the look of shiny stainless steel. However, it doesn't have the maintenance requirements of the real thing. Perhaps more importantly if you have kids, it works with magnets, so you can proudly display their artwork in the kitchen.

At only 28 inches wide, the RT18SKXRD offers 17.6 total cubic feet of storage space, so it is a great choice for smaller kitchens. It is best suited for small families or singles, but it also serves well as a second refrigerator in the basement or garage. Of course, the RT18SKXRD looks so good that you may not want to keep it hidden.

The refrigerator door has four fixed full-width door shelves that can hold gallon-sized containers. The fridge compartment has two full-width tempered-glass shelves with spill-saver lips, and both shelves can be adjusted for height. The RT18SKXRD also includes a pair of crisper drawers and a clear snack/deli drawer.

The freezer door has two full-width shelves, but there is no shelving in the main freezer compartment. However, considering the fact that the freezer is on the small side, the lack of an interior freezer shelf is not a significant issue. The RT18SKXRD does not come standard with an automatic ice maker, but you can include this option if you do not mind the approximately $100 price increase.

For an upscale look and capable performance from an inexpensive top-freezer refrigerator, take a look at the Roper RT18SKXRD.


Pros: Stainless-steel look without the maintenance, good value
Cons: Few advanced features

Warranty
1 year, parts and labor
