Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Great value
It is very rare to find a refrigerator with such large capacity under $1000.
Pro Convenient food placement
Side-by-side layout allows to put the food that you reach for most often (both in the refrigerator and the freezer) at your eye-level, so you don’t have to reach down.
Pro Very large capacity
With total capacity of 26 cu. ft. this fridge can store food for a family of 5-6 people.
Pro Automatic ice and water dispenser
You get cubed ice and filtered drinking water with a push of a button.

Plastic shelves in the refrigerator compartment are easily cleaned from smudges, and the edges are elevated to contain spills.
Pro There is easily enough storage for a big family
Most refrigerators under $1500 offer 20 - 24 cubic feet of storage space. This one has an extra large 26-cubic feet capacity, which is enough space to keep groceries for at least 5-6 people. With a little shelve repositioning and squeezing everything together, you can easily fit all the snacks you prepared for a big party.
Pro The temperature inside is precise and stable
This fridge handles excellently the one task that every fridge should do - maintain the temperature inside precisely as you set it, without any significant fluctuations or warm spots like in many other refrigerators in the price range. The difference in temperature across different areas is 2-3 °F at most, compared to 5-10 °F that you often see in mid-level refrigerators, and you don't have to worry about your food going bad or getting freezer burn due to a sudden shortlived spike.
Pro Convenient layout
With a side-by-side refrigerator such as this one, you can put the things you take most often - both fresh and frozen - and put them at eye-level. The stuff you don't need that frequently can be placed at the bottom.
Cons
Con Large energy consumption
If you’re looking to cut on energy consumption, this refrigerator isn’t for you. Large size and additional features – ice and water dispenser and filters, raise the power consumption of this refrigerator to 709 kWH per year, almost 1.5 more than most Energy Star rated refrigerators of similar capacity.
Con Ice dispenser can’t be locked
There is no child lock on the ice dispenser, which is a major drawback if you have small kids at home who could decide to play with the ice/water dispenser while you're at work and create a real mess in the kitchen.
Con Hard-to-clean freezer shelves
The wired shelves in the freezer are pretty hard to clean if you spilled something, plus they let whatever got spilled to drip down through the holes.
Con Cumbersome installation and maintenance
You need to plan carefully where you place your refrigerator. It has to be hooked up with your plumbing in order for you to use the water and ice dispenser. The built-in water filters will require regular replacement. You also have to remember that these devices tend to malfunction and break quite frequently and so, will require periodic repairs.
Con Bad customer support
Frigidaire have received many complaints about poor customer service. Most of them have to do with the company being reluctant to exchange a broken fridge or give a refund.
Con Wide items won't fit
Although there's a lot of space, fitting particularly wide items, such as pizza boxes, can be a problem because the refrigerator compartment is comparatively narrow - roughly two-thirds of the overall width of the fridge.
Con It doesn't make a lot of ice
This fridge has a smaller ice maker, which on the one hand frees some space in the freezer, but also limits ice production to about 3 pounds per day, whereas a large share of refrigerators today make at least 3.5 - 4.5 pounds. If you need more than a couple of glasses worth of ice, say for a party, you will likely have to get it from the store.
Con No spillproof shelves
The shelves don't have rims on the sides unlike in most modern refrigerators, so if you happen to spill something, it will be dripping all the way down.
Con The shelve layout lacks customization options
For each shelve except the last one, there are three slots with an inch in between them. To put something large, like a jug of milk, you will have to reposition two shelves to make enough space in between.
