Fridges in the UAE: prices, models and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

A new fridge in the UAE costs about AED 299 for a small single-door model and roughly AED 900 to 3,300 for a family-size double-door or side-by-side unit. Premium brand models, such as bottom-freezer units, reach AED 4,300 to 5,500. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, November 2026.

Local rules and what to check

Since 1 January 2025, refrigerator makers must comply with the UAE.S 5010-3:2024 energy efficiency standard, which covers new household fridges, freezers and fridge-freezers up to 1,500 litres. Ask the seller which energy rating the model has before you pay. Warranty is another point to check: consumer protection rules give a statutory baseline of two years against manufacturing defects on major home appliances, and some brands go much further. LG, for example, lists 10 years on refrigerator compressors. Some sellers also ask that damage be reported within 24 hours of delivery, so inspect the unit on arrival.

Why November is a good time to choose

The climate is desert: summers from May to September are very hot, and a fridge that works hard in that heat uses more power. November to March is mild, so there is no rush, and buying before the hot season gives you time to compare models.

Delivery and how it is bought here

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain are the main delivery cities, so ask for the price delivered to your own city. Capacity is quoted in litres and dimensions in centimetres, so write your measurements in the same units. UAE mains supply is 220–240 V at 50 Hz. A unit built for 110–120 V needs a transformer, which can complicate the warranty, so check the voltage before you order. Some online sellers offer cash on delivery, and that is worth asking about when you order.

What to put in your request

Name the type (single-door, double-door, side-by-side or bottom freezer), the capacity in litres, the colour, whether you want new or used, your budget in AED and your city. Add any features you need, such as frost-free operation or a water dispenser. The clearer the request, the more relevant the offers.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the fridge in your own words, free for buyers, and can add a photo. The assistant asks for any missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them.
