[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a refrigerator that would fit our small space, and this fit the build. A lot of interior space without taking up much exterior space. Large freezer compartment. Runs extremely quiet. Doors are well balanced. Lots of nice features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally got a fridge that makes sense. No need for a weird middle drawer that doesn’t actually fit anything. Water dispenser in the door & extra room all around. Very happy with our Frigidaire.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I could give the fridge a 5 star rating but, it runs loud. Otherwise it's a great fridge. Love the counter depth feature. Has plenty of room. I like the freezer on the bottom with the ice in the freezer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the size and the look of this refrigerator. The water dispenser being inside the door is also a plus.
Generally pleased with this fridge, but ice-making is slow!! 🐢🐢

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently transitioned to this French Door Gallery model after having a [now discontinued] side-by-side Frigidaire Gallery model (LGHK2336TFO). Overall I'm pleased with the interior size [for a counter-depth] and styling of this refrigerator (much more flexible access to items within the "pantry-style" fridge cavity compared to the narrower side-by-side). Temps in the fridge appear to be good & balanced (i.e., no items towards the back corners of the fridge are freezing / icing over like what occurred in our S-b-S Frigidaire). The freezer cavity (7.1 cubic ft.) takes getting used to, but thusfar proving to be a suitable size for our family of five (plus we kept our old fridge and put it in the garage...offers more "back-up" fridge/freezer storage compared to our last garage fridge 🙂).
I'm also a big fan of the interior water dispenser...a change from the outer door ice + water access we had previously. Which brings ne to my only gripe [at the moment]: the in-freezer ice maker. It is producing ice...but at a PAINFULLY slow pace! We were told by the installers to discard the initial 3-gallons of water from the dispenser (done), and the first full tray of ice. My wife tossed the first tray of ice...but only a quarter-bin's worth...because if we waited for the in-freezer bin to fill-up most if not all of the way...we'd probably STILL be waiting for it to fill 9-days after install! All the troubleshooting recommendations have been tried (e.g., filter is - of course - brand new, tried the 'Freeze Boost' setting, and the water line does not appear to be kinked...although I can't see it once the fridge is pushed into its fitted location...the water from the dispenser seems to be flowing with good pressure if that is another indicator). Anyway - despite the Frigidaire posts I've seen stating that ~2-3 lbs of ice should be produced every 24-hrs (what is the total weight/volume capacity of the ice tray? 🤷🏾♂️), it just doesn't appear to be producing ice as fast as it should (the ice maker in our side-by-side fridge was normally *at least* 1/2 to 3/4ths full all the time - save for heavy use due to having guests over).
All said - I feel kind of bad that I called Frigidaire and requested a technician to come check things out (coming to the house midday Friday, 11/18). My hope is that there's some sort of advance reset on the in-door keypad, or a discovery with the refrigerator lines that will lead to a fix and a more rapid/substantial output of ice 🤷🏾♂️. Open to any other ideas that can be shared (don't be mad when you see ice in the tray, 'Mr. Technician'...there has to be a better way! 🧊🧊)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice refrigerator. It is smaller than we are used to but we wanted the built in look. We will adjust and get used to the size. Overall, very happy. I cannot add a photo just yet as we are still working on the wall and renovation.
