Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This garage fridge has been a really solid addition to our space and has made a noticeable difference in how we store extra drinks. The interior is spacious and well-organized, with adjustable shelves that made it easy to customize for larger items and bulk storage. I especially like how consistent the cooling is, it keeps everything at an even temperature, even when the garage temperature fluctuates. The door seals tightly, and the build quality feels durable and designed to handle a garage environment.
One feature that stands out is how quickly it cools down after being opened, which is helpful when we’re in and out grabbing things. It also runs fairly quietly, which I didn’t expect for a garage appliance. The lighting inside is bright enough to easily see everything, even when it’s full.
From a practical standpoint, it’s been great for freeing up space in our main kitchen fridge. We use it for drinks and it has held up well so far. Overall, it’s reliable, functional, and does exactly what we needed without any hassle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Game changer!

from Concord
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchasing this was one of the best decisions we have made in a long time. We had a second refrigerator in our garage and (eventually) came to realize we needed freezer space much more than refrigerator space. This is 18 cubic feet! Love the upright design for easy access.
*BONUS* this easily switches from a freezer to a refrigerator if needed! Cold boost freezes or chills food even faster than normal and automatically shuts off. Outside digital temperature display. Door open/temperature drop audible alerts are nice to have. That has come in handy on our refrigerator. Hope we don't use it but nice to have. Frost free and flexible organization. Shelves are removable. ...next stop Costco!

Fantastic convertible freezer
on April 7, 2026
Posted by: malejo
from Concord
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One thing I notice about this freezer is how slim it is but how big the inside is. It’s perfect for the garage. It has plenty of space and is super quiet. Even after you have the door open for a minute you can barely hear the condenser turn on. It will also start dinging if you accidentally don’t close the door all the way or if the door is left open too long. I also love that this particular one can convert to a fridge if needed. The temperature can be easily adjusted from the digital display on the front of the fridge. As well as changing the function to freezer or refrigerator. It took two hours before the freezer could be used which is pretty quick and my primary function. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking for a freezer/fridge convertible.

In Love!

from Midlothian
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you have a newborn, a hungry husband, and not enough fridge space — so when I say I needed this, I mean it. We're running ours as an extra refrigerator in the laundry room and it has been exactly what our family needed heading into spring.
I love that I can flip on the Cold Boost when I'm unloading groceries and everything gets cold fast. The shelving is flexible enough that I can actually keep things organized, which as a new mom is everything.
Solid investment for any family that just needs more space that works!

An Amazing Convertible Freezer Refrigerator
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Jackson4
from CARENCRO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing freezer. It is has so much space. As an individual with a larger household composition, it helps a lot to have space in the freezer.The freezer is frost free. This means there is no time consuming monthly chore of defrosting and clearing huge pieces of ice. It also has a large display on front to display the current freezer temperature. The alarm is really helpful by alerting you when the freezer temperature rises. What makes this item a gem to own is it can be used as a freezer or refrigerator with the touch of a button.

Great addition with lots of space
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Testerweezy
from Houston
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the look and space that this Frigidaire upright freezer FFUE1836AV in stainless steel contains.
It has four shelves that are spaced out evenly so you can stack boxes or lidded tubs easily on top of one another. The shelves are deep enough that you can put a lot of groceries/frozen food in there.
The door has four bins that give easy access to items such as ice blocks or frozen Popsicles for the kids. It also has two pull out bins on the bottom, which are fairly deep, but not too long. They pull out easily and are easy to access. Perfect for bas of frozen vegetables or fruit.
I love that I can see everything that is in there because it is well lit from the one light at the top. I do worry that if I fill it up, it might be a little dark towards the bottom of the freezer. So far that hasn’t been a problem and with so much space I can’t see that being a major problem.
The door opens easily, but once you close it, it can take a little while to be able to reopen it as it seals really firmly. It would have been good if we could have changed the direction of the door opening, to open from right to left rather than left to right, but that’s not a big deal to us.
Apparently, this is convertible to a fridge. We have not explored this option yet, but could see that this might be a great feature around the holidays for fresh food.
I like that the controls are on the front and easy to use/self-explanatory. This is frost free and it says that the stainless steel is fingerprint resistant, but we have seen a few fingerprint marks on the front.
This is a great addition to our household, and I will get a lot of use out of this. I much prefer it to our old freezer which was a pullout drawer at the bottom of our fridge and was not so easy to access all the items in there.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good day, Testerweezy! Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review!

It’s great to know the interior lighting is helping with visibility and that the controls are easy to use and intuitive.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding: - The strong door seal and brief wait time before reopening - The fingerprint visibility on the stainless steel finish - The fixed door swing direction - Your thoughtful note about potential lighting in a fully loaded unit
All of this feedback is very helpful and will be shared with our product team as we continue improving design and usability. Your observation about the convertible functionality is also great insight, many customers do find that feature especially useful for flexible storage needs during holidays or larger gatherings.

Awesome upgrade for my garage freezer
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: Bleuroze
from Highlands ranch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this freezer for my garage to replace an older non defrosting freezer. It has been a wonderful upgrade. So much space and strong glass shelves. I have all our meat on the top 2 shelves and they hold it easily without fear they will break. I love the shelving and drawers to organize our food. The drawers were a real bonus and perfect for my frozen veggies. It’s easy to adjust the temp in the outside and see alerts that the door is ajar. The freezer seals well and is easy to open close with indented handle on side of door. I really like the clean look without a handle on front of door. The stainless has been very resistant to fingerprints as well. Quiet and energy efficient. Im very happy with my purchase and have no complaints.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Freezer for Bulk Storage and Visibility
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: SupaChamp
from Fort Meade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live remotely on a farm with five children and replaced our chest freezer with this upright so we could follow FIFO (First In, First Out) food rotation—and it has been outstanding. The upright layout, adjustable shelving, and clear visibility make it incredibly easy for everyone in the family to see exactly what we have on hand. No more forgotten food buried at the bottom of a chest freezer. The temperature control is consistent, the alarms provide peace of mind, and the interior lighting makes everything easy to find even when fully stocked. Our high‑school daughter in culinary arts said it looks and functions like a commercial kitchen freezer, which says a lot. Perfect for large families and bulk storage. Highly recommend.
