Black Friday is usually a time when Americans clamor for the best deals on laptops and TVs, but some people need to upgrade their kitchen. For shoppers searching for deals on the best appliances, there are plenty of great early Black Friday deals on new refrigerators for under $999 at Home Depot.

One of the great deals on refrigerators at Home Depot is for a 22-cubic foot one with a wide, French door GE for only $998. The original price is $1,299, so that is about 25 percent off – a great deal for people looking to upgrade their kitchen without downgrading their budget.

This model also comes in three colors: black, grey and white, so matching the new refrigerator to your kitchen's style is easy.

Out of 13 reviews, this fridge had a 5-star average rating.

"I love everything about this refrigerator! It is a marvelous addition to my kitchen. I have had it only a few weeks, and I can already see the difference in my electric bill," said one review.

However, a few reviewers mentioned that the fridge's temperature settings are very strong.

"The default setting for coldness was 5 which is mid point within the temp range. The newly acquired eggs were placed on the top shelf next to the wall of the unit. Within 24 hours we had one dozen frozen shell cracked eggs," said one reviewer, who was otherwise happy with the fridge and recommended putting the temperature setting to 3 instead of 5.

Shoppers looking for a bit more room, may want to consider the 25.3-cubic foot Maytag for only $998. Available in a sleek-looking monochromatic steel, this unit adds a cool look to any kitchen while keeping food cold.

Speaking of cold, a factory-installed ice maker provides crushed and cubed ice, as well as smaller-size cubes that are made to fit into your water bottles. That means no more annoying attempts to cram ice cubes into your refillable water bottle.

Out of 12 reviews, this Maytag fridge had a 4.5 average rating.

"I absolutely love this fridge. It looks so pretty and very classy...odd thing to say about a frige [sic] but it's so true," said one reviewer, adding, "The ice machine so far has done a great job at keeping up with supply, the water tastes amazing, and there is a ton of room in both the frige [sic] and freezer."

Many reviewers complemented the look of the fridge, as well as its ice-making ability. The only drawback listed among the 12 reviews is that the ice machine can be a bit noisy.
