So Far, So Good!

First it may not be fair but I am only giving any new appliance I buy 4 stars based on the inferior quality of all new appliances vs older ones. I would love these companies to bring back the original Stainless (heavy duty) steel. Using the right product, fingerprints were a breeze to get off but I guess these companies heard the complaints of having to wipe off fingerprints. (waawaawaa). Ok now for this fridge. I happen to love it! I have an older Frigidaire fridge in an apartment in my home which has been problem free for many years which is why I considered Frigidaire. My previous was a GE Side by Side and I wanted to go with a French door this time. I also wanted water and ice inside but with a dispenser you don't have to push hard or struggle with and I liked the location of this one compared to other brands. So far that works flawlessly and comes out faster than the water from my GE. (Sorry GE, it was hard letting you go lol). I put a folded paper towel under it to see if it leaks. It hasn't. I love the ice in the freezer and it makes plenty for my family. Granted we aren't huge ice users but the bin fills up in a few days. Initially you have to give it time to fill and don't forget to throw the first batch out. Love love the lighting in this unit. Everyone that has opened the doors says 'wow'. It just looks really nice. I was worried about fitting all the condiments because my husband goes way overboard with condiments lol. There is a lot of room on these bins and I have a lot of extra shelf space. I think square ft wise, this was almost the same as what I had, but feel it fits more. Maybe due to all the bins being so large. I miss having a butter keeper but I use the top right bin for now. Not a big deal. So far the custom cool drawer holds cheeses, Tortillas, any snacks. It's great there are multiple uses for that drawer when needed. I immediately bought two refrigerator thermometers to keep track of how it's doing in case there may be a problem. The fridge stays at 37. After opening doors several times, like during making dinner or putting groceries away, it will go up as high as 39 or even 40, but in no time, it is back to 37. Freezer has stayed at 0 for the most part. Again if the freezer draw is opened several times, it goes up a little, but comes right back down. It is so quiet! The only thing heard on mine is the water going fast into the line for ice and then when the ice drops. You could probably line the ice bin with something, but it doesn't bother me at all. It operates so quietly! Quieter than my GE was. I wish I could attest to the veggies staying fresh longer but I didn't realize the filters weren't installed and thought the two that came with it were just extra. Oops. I will say, it is Oct 7th and this was delivered on Sept 29th and what was put in there then is still fresh, without the filters being in. I was trying to find how to install them. Wasn't sure if you have to pop the cover off, or just slide them in behind it. Oh one negative is the instructions. We didn't like the layout of them, not concise and difficult to follow and illustrations need improvement. Moreso for the dishwasher than the refrigerator. But, we got them in and they are working well. I have to admit I was very torn between going with a GE again vs this Frigidaire. The GE was not problem free, had to replace the motherboard? (think it was called that) twice and then some sensors due to cooling issues, but doing that kept it going for 16 years. I prefer the bins I had with heavy white plastic trim all around them and they seemed sturdier than these. I think most bins are made cheaper now though. However I love the features this has, the look of it, how quiet it is and how it functions and feel it was a much better value for the price. The only GE I considered was way more expensive and also had issues stated with cooling. I highly recommend this refrigerator based on my use so far. My husband still has to make a slight adjustment on one of the doors. Forgot to do that, but it's very slight.
