Ho-hum performance from this Frigidaire Gallery French door refrigerator

2015-03-26
hey guys I'm seeing that's right Chris here with the Frigidaire Gallery French door refrigerator model FG HB 2 8 6 6 PS this is a 27 point 2 cubic foot capacity model with this nice smudge proof stainless steel exterior now that doesn't mean you can't leave fingerprints on if you try hard you definitely can just like that but it does mean that it's pretty easy to clean just a quick wipe with a paper towel and it's back to looking like it's fresh from the factory floor now turning inside the fridge you see plenty of options for customizing your shelving as well you can take this top shelf and tuck it under for large items you can do a sort of similar thing with this shelf and fold it up against the icemaker the icemaker is located inside the fridge and not in the door that's sort of bucking a recent trend of indoor ice makers and you lose some space because of that so overall a fairly spacious interior we're able to squeeze in our entire load of test groceries inside of it along with a couple of large items that we test fit to sort of stress it out a big cake tray a casserole dish extra large pizza box with a little bit of reorganization and sort of moving things around strategically we could get almost all that inside of the fridge that said the refrigeration performance was not as good as we hoped here we test for 72-hour stretches at various temperature settings so at 37 degrees we got readings that we didn't like especially here on the top shelf for the hot air can sort of rise a little bit don't want that from the interior of your fridge maybe the doors might get a little warmer but the actual body of the fridge should stay nice and cool definitely below 40 testing again at 33 degrees everything stayed well below 40 degrees definitely food safe definitely good to use if I own this fridge I'd probably keep it down at 33 and I wouldn't feel comfortable going up much higher than 35 and that takes away some of your flexibility to save energy this Frigidaire Gallery French door unit sells for $2,600 though you can find it for a couple hundred less we're finding it about 2200 at various retail outlets here at the time of this video but keep in mind that you can get French door units for as low as 1500 nowadays and also once you're spending more than 2,000 you can start to find some pretty cool features like door and door and food showcase fridges from Samsung those are interesting and they merit consideration there's nothing quite as exciting or sexy with this fridge that makes the rush to recommend it thanks for watching check out the rest of our plants reviews cnet.com for seen at appliances I'm right Chris you
