A gallon door storage section also creates extra room on the shelves for food items like condiments or a container of milk. It’s also compatible with an ice maker, if you’d like to purchase this must-have separately. Fridges are measured both by the interior space Arctic King (in cubic feet) and height. Consider the height, width, and depth when measuring the space in your kitchen. The space the refrigerator takes up will also be influenced by features such as a water and ice cube dispenser and whether it’s a one- or two-door unit.
Four-door models (equal-size half-width, half-height, swing-open doors) and column designs (all-fridge no-freezer, and vice versa) have their place, too. Frigidaire offers a vast array of refrigerators to best suit your kitchen’s design and come with modern features, customizable organizational systems, and sleek styles. With French-door, side-by-side, single door, top-freezer, compact, and beverage storage options, you’re sure to find the right style, capacity, and features for your household. Effortlessly maximize your refrigerator space with easy-to-reach and easy-to-see placement of your items with the SpaceWise® Organization System.
Temperatures in the fridge averaged just below 38°F, and didn’t have much variance over time. Opening up the right door reveals the fridge compartment, which has a standard array of shelves, door bins, and crispers. The PureSource Plus filter is designed for filter systems located in the rear top-right of the refrigerator. Reduces up to 99% of contaminants, including lead and chlorine. Replace every 6 months to ensure proper contaminant removal and optimal water flow.
First refrigerator stopped cooling, then started leaking at the bottom on one side. Called repairman, at our cost, and they showed me a big blob of ice on the back of the refrigerator that was eating through the insulation, and melting onto the floor. This is an over $2000 refrigerator that lasted about 3 years. I’ve read where other people have had the same issue with the insulation failing. While Frigidaire’s models might not have the newest smart features, they are reliable and sure to last. Frigidaire remains an easy choice for many consumers because of its good reputation within the refrigerator market.
Their ratings of the organizational features weren’t quite as high, either. GE’s side-by-side models received a notably mediocre satisfaction rating in our survey, and other reviewers are lukewarm on them, too. Our data suggests that these models have more nuisance-type problems with reliability than most other brands’ side-by-sides. GE’s higher-end French-door models are particularly impressive.
Based on the look and layout of the fridges, Kenmore’s basic top-freezer models appear to be made by Frigidaire, most of its other midrange models are probably made by Whirlpool, and its higher-end models seem to be LGs. Kenmore products can vary a bit from the major-label versions—sometimes they earn different performance ratings from pro reviewers, for example—but generally you can expect the same experience. For other current LG fridges (including the French-door models we analyzed) and other major brands, we saw those kinds of problems cited in only about 3% of reviews, give or take.
Automatic system alerts when water filter change becomes necessary. Large refrigerator with full-width glass shelves, sliding half-width deli drawer, large door bins, and humidity-controlled crisper drawers. Designed with EvenTemp cooling system and single-knob temperature control. Even among big fridges, like 36-inch, standard-depth French-door refrigerators, the most efficient models could save $100 over the product’s lifetime compared with a less-efficient version.
You can find four popular styles of freestanding refrigerators, plus a few less-common types, all with some aesthetic and functional differences. Certain types aren’t available in certain sizes or at certain prices, so in choosing a model you don’t quite have carte blanche, but you usually have some wiggle room. Small models (10 cubic feet) from Arctic King smaller brands, such as the Magic Chef MCDR1000WE, start around $400. The customer ratings for these lowest-end fridges tend to be decent, though some models (like this retro-styled Galanz) seem more prone to cooling failures than a typical fridge. You can find even cheaper fridges, but they tend to be very small, almost like mini fridges.
Today after 30 minutes on the phone while rep types away, asked me for serial number, which their automated already asked and received. I started to give serial number and rep says “I’m sorry I can’t hear you did you hit the mute button”. No I did not but she proceeded to disconnect me. 5 visits already from their contracted techs. Next step should be to replace the lemon – but I’m getting even more of the runaround. Good prices but what good is it if it doesn’t last even a year. Also, 2 of the repair companies that Frigidaire sent to my house were very rude and unprofessional – Dial Appliance and Total Appliance Solutions.
