Real 2026 prices by size and type, from UGX 442,000 to UGX 7,382,500
A fridge in Uganda costs between UGX 356,000 for a 60 litre mini fridge and UGX 7,382,500 for a premium 850 litre Hitachi. The realistic price for a family home sits between UGX 800,000 and UGX 1,300,000, which buys a double door fridge of 160 to 330 litres. Everything below that is a single door or a compact model, and everything above it is size, inverter technology, or a brand premium.
This is a price guide, not a buying guide. Every figure here is the live price on yoola.ug as of October 2026, taken straight from the product pages. Nothing is estimated.
Uganda fridge prices spread across four working tiers. A mini or single door fridge runs UGX 356,000 to 908,500. A small double door fridge runs UGX 602,000 to 1,150,000. A family double door fridge, which is the biggest selling group, runs UGX 1,038,000 to 2,153,000. A side-by-side, four-door, or premium inverter fridge starts at UGX 2,552,000 and tops out at UGX 7,382,500.
Notice where the value sits. The jump from a 195 litre single door at UGX 779,000 to a 220 litre double door at UGX 873,000 is only UGX 94,000, and you gain a separate freezer door and a much better layout. That gap is the single most useful number in this guide.
Capacity drives fridge price more than brand does. Here is what actual litres cost in Uganda this month, using in-stock products on yoola.ug.
| Capacity | Type | Typical price (UGX) | Example model |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 L | Mini single door | 356,000 | Hisense 60L mini fridge |
| 90 L | Single door | 522,500 | ADH 90L refrigerator |
| 120 L | Single door | 442,000 to 511,000 | Chiq 120L single door |
| 98 to 110 L | Double door | 602,000 to 624,500 | CHiQ 110L double door |
| 138 to 168 L | Double door | 840,500 to 954,000 | ADH 158L family fridge |
| 220 to 270 L | Double door | 873,000 to 1,091,500 | Chiq 220L double door |
| 330 to 341 L | Double door | 1,264,500 to 1,717,500 | Hisense 330L RD330 |
| 419 to 560 L | Double door | 1,899,000 to 2,710,500 | Hisense 488L double door |
| 560 to 820 L | Side-by-side | 2,552,000 to 3,646,000 | Chiq 730L side-by-side |
Prices from yoola.ug, October 2026. All models in stock at time of writing.
The litres-per-shilling maths gets interesting at the top. A CHiQ 730L side-by-side at UGX 3,646,000 works out at about UGX 5,000 per litre. A 120 litre Chiq single door at UGX 442,000 works out at about UGX 3,683 per litre. Small fridges are cheaper per litre, but they cost more per litre of usable shelf space once you account for the space a freezer compartment eats.
A single door fridge in Uganda costs UGX 356,000 to UGX 908,500. That whole bracket is one door with an ice box inside, and it suits a bedsitter, a single person, or an office kitchen.
The main models in stock: Hisense 60L mini fridge at UGX 356,000, Chiq 120L single door at UGX 442,000, SPJ 120L at UGX 488,500, Hisense 120L single door at UGX 490,500, ADH 90L at UGX 522,500, Chiq 195L at UGX 739,000, and Hisense 195L at UGX 779,000. The Geepas GRF654 60L sits at the top of the small bracket at UGX 908,500, which is a brand premium rather than a capacity difference.
A double door fridge in Uganda costs UGX 602,000 to UGX 2,710,500. The entry point is a 110 litre CHiQ at UGX 602,000. The workhorse zone, where most Kampala families land, is a 220 to 270 litre double door at UGX 873,000 to UGX 1,091,500. Above 400 litres you are paying UGX 1,899,000 and up.
Real examples from the live catalog: CHiQ 110L double door at UGX 602,000. Hisense 160L double door at UGX 824,000. ADH 158L and 168L at UGX 840,500 each. Chiq 220L double door at UGX 873,000. Hisense 200L at UGX 905,000. Hisense 229L at UGX 935,000. Chiq 270L at UGX 972,000. Hisense 270L red at UGX 1,036,000. Hisense 266L no-frost at UGX 1,303,000. Hisense 488L at UGX 2,153,000. Hisense 560L at UGX 2,710,500.
The no-frost models cost more for the same litres. A Hisense 231L no-frost at UGX 1,149,490 against a Chiq 220L manual-defrost at UGX 873,000 is UGX 276,490 more for 11 extra litres. You are paying for the defrost system, not the space. If you have never defrosted a fridge in your life, that premium is worth it in Kampala's humidity.
A side-by-side fridge in Uganda costs UGX 2,552,000 to UGX 3,646,000 for the mainstream brands and UGX 4,884,000 to UGX 7,382,500 for Hitachi and Electrolux inverter models. This is the top of the market and it is a genuine step change, not just more litres.
Chiq 560L side-by-side at UGX 2,552,000. Chiq 680L at UGX 2,808,400. Hisense 670L black mirror at UGX 3,198,500. Hisense 561L at UGX 3,312,000. Hisense 820L at UGX 3,635,990. Chiq 730L at UGX 3,646,000. Then the inverter tier: Hitachi 510L top freezer at UGX 4,884,000, Electrolux 493L side-by-side with water dispenser at UGX 5,622,000, Hitachi 550L four-door at UGX 6,360,500, and the Hitachi 850L top freezer at UGX 7,382,500.
Two numbers worth sitting with. A Chiq 730L side-by-side at UGX 3,646,000 and a Hitachi 320L bottom freezer at UGX 3,805,000 cost almost the same. The Chiq gives you 410 more litres for UGX 159,000 less. The Hitachi gives you an inverter compressor, a better build, and a premium service network. Neither is the wrong answer, but know which one you are buying.
The sticker price is not the whole cost, and three things move it.
Running cost is the first. UEDCL's approved domestic tariff for 2026 charges UGX 779.4 per unit for consumption between 16 and 80 kWh, and for everything above 150 kWh, with the first 15 kWh at UGX 250. A fridge that draws 150 watts and runs about eight hours a day uses roughly 36 units a month, which is about UGX 28,000. A 300 watt side-by-side on the same pattern uses about 72 units, so roughly UGX 56,000 a month, which is UGX 28,000 more every month. Over five years that difference alone is about UGX 1,680,000, which is more than the gap between the two fridges.
The second is a voltage stabiliser. Kampala's supply swings, and fridge control boards are the first thing to fail when it does. Budget UGX 60,000 to UGX 150,000 for a stabiliser sized to your fridge. Skimping here risks a repair bill that starts around UGX 300,000.
The third is delivery and installation. Fridge delivery, including the wait time before you switch it on, is worth confirming at checkout. You should let a fridge stand upright for at least four hours after transport before plugging it in, longer if it was laid flat. Plugging it in immediately after a boda ride across Kampala is how compressors die early.
