I am seen that's right Chris standing here with the Frigidaire Gallery f G H I to 1/6 for Q F now this is a top freezer refrigerator that retails for $1,300 that's about as much as top freezer to go for and it's got a very nice stainless steel build on the outside with frigidaires smudge proof stainless steel finish so it's a little better than the average stainless steel fridge at repelling fingerprints inside you've got twenty point five cubic feet of total storage space fifteen point four of which are allocated to the fridge that's a nice number but not quite the biggest top freezer that we've tested probably the key feature of the interior is this custom flex door and that's this door with all these kind of modular attachments you can put in where you want different things like a butter bin and drawers and a little rack for your sodas a little mini bin for kids snacks you can kind of customize this to your heart's content and each of these units cost about 15 bucks if you wanted to buy a second thing for soda or a second kid bin pretty easy to pick up online and stick it right in the fridge wherever you want once you've got everything you want you can move things around by sliding them along these little sliders here it's kind of sticky at times but overall pretty nice so there's a lot to like about this fridge that might have you tempted to splurge but I say not so fast on the upgrades take a look at this performance results this is the fridge running at the default setting for three days with an average temperature for each region inside and as you can see everything is up above 40 those are not good averages the default setting should usually get you closer to 37 or 38 and so that's why it's all orange that's not good at all even down at the coldest setting dialed down to something that should be about 33 or 34 degrees we're still getting very high numbers including some hot spots those orange regions in the top and bottom of the fridge and then a door just not good performance not good enough if you're upgrading and spending little extra on this thing for my money there are better top freezer upgrades out there this kenmore unit that we tested just a few weeks ago that's a much better performing unit and also a bigger fridge so I say go with something like that instead of this for more check out my full review at cnet.com and follow me on twitter if you need any fridge advice for seeing that I'm right Chris
