We bought this as a replacement for a 40 yr old fridge in our laundry room. It of course was much more efficient and we saw a much welcomed decrease in our monthly electric bill! We have had no problem with it and it keeps everything cold. I am used to solid shelves ( even in the old one) . My husband purchased it --enough said? I bought some rigid plastic for them. The only drawback was the noise, It is a noisy refrigerator but since it is in our laundry room it is only noticeable when some one is in there. It does what it is supposed to do--bare bones which is exactly what we were looking for.
My new refrigerator turned out to be the summer hub to pack up coolers and lunches for summer activities. As a roadie for softball and volleyball games, my new refrigerator allowed me to store enough sandwiches and snacks for the whole team! And the ice maker? It is like the Energizer Bunny; the ice kept on coming and coming. This summers heat called for cooler after cooler of iced down drinks, food, and even towels to keep the kids cooled down. I could count on my ice maker, which housed a freezer full of bagged ice, creating a "grab and go" service so we could get to the games on time! I would take my new up/down refrigerator over the fancy sides by sides any day. I am very pleased with my new purchase.
We were led to Frigadare by this month's Consumer Reports....listing 2 recommended models. We were looking @ the Energy Star models, but this one was almost as efficient....we were impressed @ the value for the money. We like to buy 'Made in the USA' products.
this frig is ok kind of small but serve the purpose. the only thing I don't like is there are only 2 shelves in it but there are other slide where shelves can. I would like to ask and know why are there only 2 shelves with this frig and where can you purchase other shelves and only 1 small shelve in the freezer. on a hold the frig is ok, but those are the down falls for me.
For the price this is a good product. Its a little noisy at first but I don't even notice it now. The top handle sticks out slightly from the bottom handle but the seal is good so I can live with it. It does the job its designed for so thats all I ask. I've found frigidaire to really back up thier products so I try to stick with them.
