Pros: Stainless steel exterior minimizes fingerprints. Holds temperature well.
Cons: The ice maker isn't reliable. Shelves are deep and not easy to slide out.

When we moved into our house two years ago, I quickly discovered that I detested the fridge that came with the house. I began to bug the hubby for a new, gleaming, stainless steel fridge to replace the outdated, cream-colored ice box. "Look," I said ...

Pros:

Sleek stainless steel looks.

Cons: Flisy drawer construction, unreliable and leaky water and ice.

I bought this refrigerator because of looks and reputation, and the faulty assumption that a somewhat higher price bracket had to result in longevity and quality.I am a very meticulous person that takes excellent care of the things he owns, ...

Pros: Easy to clean Stainless. Looks great. Nice blue light. Matches my other frigidaire garbage.
Cons: Cheap plastic drawers/rails that don't support. Twice faulty Ice Maker, Ice "crusher" mode sticks

The best advice if you must buy this good looking but quality stunted fridge is to buy the extended 4 year warranty, you're going to need it. I did. This fridge looks real nice on the sales floor with it's matching Frigidaire Professional Series ...

Pros: Styling
Options (Pizza holder, ice cream tray, wine rack, extra ice (if it works)

We bought this refrigerator only 5 years ago now.  In the first 3 years we had to replace the icemaker not once but twice.  Not due to "sticking" advancement like I've read on some other reviews but they were actually broken!!  Luckily we purchased the extended warranty the first time.  Now only 5 years old the compressor is going out after we declined to pay $500 to re-extend the warranty just a few months ago.  I guess the warranty cost is so high because they know you'll need it.  At this point we would rather just purchase a quality more durable refrigerator - like the Kenmore in our garage that has run for 12 years with out ANY problems.

Also, the icemaker is loud when dispensing and even louder when crushing.  And watch out for flying ice when crushing.  After you have your glass fresh with ice, watch out for the water pressure - let's just say you won't need a shower after filling the glass.
