What's great about it: cools well, good price, freezer freezes & bottom fridge is nice & cold,easy controls
What's not so great: noisy at times, no meat & cheese compartment, condensation/frost in fridge
This refrigerator looks good. It doesn't have the meat/cheese compartment. I noticed condensation, ice/frost in the bottom part that is not full of food yet so I adjusted the temperature, seems fine now. I sure hope it's frost free! It will make a loud noise occasionally, hoping that will be less when I move it in place where the old fridge stands. That noise wakes me up unless I shut the bedroom door. This replaces the 10 year old Frigidaire that still works but the top freezer went on the blink & it's out of warranty. For a big family I might choose another model with more features but this seems fine for just my Mom. I pray it holds up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

2yrs2mos evaporator not working, too much $ to fix
03/30/2012
very sad to learn from the appliance repair company that the evaporator has stopped working on this refrigerator. It's just 2 years & 2 months old. He said he usually only sees this on much older refrigerators, no one that is still considered somewhat new. I am trying to contact the manufacturer per his suggestion to see if they will do something for us. My mom is having her birthday tomorrow. I don't understand how this quit after such a short time plus only my Mom basically using it. There must be a problem & I suspect they know about it. I think we got a lemon this time. I didn't buy the extended warranty. However after having problems with the refrigerator I started looking closer at the paperwork that came with it. In the ziplock bag there was a brochure showing $109.& change for an extended warranty, the original 1 year plus 2 additional years coverage. I wish I had read that before now. Also the repairman said if you mail in the warranty card they will send you an offer to extend your coverage. I do remember that Best Buy's extended warranty seemed to be much more than the brochure. I'm so sad to have to deal with a broken refrigerator again especially after such a short time. I hope everyone else has good luck with theirs. Reading my previous review I guess I should have kept my fingers crossed, too late now. Frigidaire please help me out on this. thanks

Frigidaire has gone downhill
02/04/2011
I can tell you honestly that this refrigerator is the worst refrigerator on the planet. It sounds like a jackhammer running in the kitchen. It's loud, beyond belief! I could hear this stupid refrigerator from the other side of the house. If you're in the kitchen, you think a fire alarm has gone off. The compressor runs constantly and everything is cheap, cheap, cheap! The wire shelving can't even support a couple of gallons of milk. It sags, so all the refrigerator contents leans at an angle, if you don't have glass shelving. I couldn't wait to get rid of this abomination. Trust me, this refrigerator is a total waste of money. Seriously. Upgrade a bit, it's worth it.

What's great about it: It was cheap
What's not so great: This year in 4 months I've had a relay and thermostat go bad.
hindsight being 20/20. I would have not paid to repair this fridge and just gone out to buy a new one. The two repairs were over half the cost of the fridge new. Thermostat alone was 79.20 w/ out the labor cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do NOT buy this product. I purchased this refrigerator not once but twice because the first one broke down within 6 days.

What's great about it: color options
What's not so great: THE NOISE....the noise....(the noise).
We bought this unit a week ago but It is going back in exchange for something else. It is extremely LOUD which makes for a very uncomfortable home dining experience. It has ample space and keeps food properly cooled but we just cannot stand the noise.
BestBuy really shouldn't be sellling this product as it seems to have some very disappointing reviews by other consumers.

What's great about it: The outside design is very stylish.
What's not so great: Everything else.
I loved the looks of this fridge on the outside. However the inside is made of very cheap plastic. My biggest complaint though is the lack of a full shelf in the freezer compartment. I first thought that it was just missing. I called Frigidaire and after talking to several people, including a parts person, I realized that there is only the tiny table type shelf that is totally useless. It's very hard to keep the raw meats away from the ice and other items in the freezer without the full shelf to separate them. The lack of a freezer shelf is ridiculous!

So far so good. No real problems and it seems to be working as expected. Our biggest concern was size since this is a secondary refrigerator located in a small area. The low price was a bonus.

This is a great product the only problem for me is there is no full length freezer rack, it only comes with a very small rack. One other problem is the storage drawers in the fridge are kind of small, other than that it does a great job and it is a great product.

What's not so great: nothing
Price was right, fridge is cold and freezer freezes. Doors feel solid. For a basic Fridge, it works well. No problems. Had to assemble the handles, but no big deal. This fridge was for our break room at work, so we didn't need any bells and whistles. Pretty basic fridge.

What's great about it: price, size, features, no outer coils
What's not so great: no cover for interior light
Perfect for a second source of cooling storage for extra food, beverage, etc when needed. Would even be great buy for a main unit. Freezer works good in cold garage after figuring out how to set the temp adjustments. Clean look and fits closer to wall because there are no outer coils in back of unit.

I recently replaced an old fridge with this one, my power bill went down $10 from the month that I had my old one to last month. It's a great bang for the buck and if you don't mind wire shelving i would say its good for anyone.

What's great about it: large door storage, roomy inside
What's not so great: it's all good
I just moved into a new apartment that required that I purchase my own refrigerator. I wanted the cheapest large one I could find and this one fit the bill. It runs great and does the job it's supposed to do. I didn't want anything fancy and this one suits me just fine. I am very happy with it. It has super-wide shelves on the door so all the little jars and bottles and cans are neatly organized and easy to see. It's very roomy inside. I love it and would recommend it to anyone who wants something simple, roomy and reliable.
