I have owned a similar Frigidaire Gallery unit (ice maker in the freezer) for 18 months now and I would NOT purchase this unit, or any similar unit, from Frigidaire again. Here's the issue - I have had the Ice maker replaced once (I'm on my second ice maker) and every so often, the mechanism freezes over. The problem is that the mechanism that fills the ice tray is gravity fed. Something goes wrong, and the ice maker spews water all over the inside of your freezer. And your ice maker... And the large gears that the freezer door relies on to open and close. So, last night, my freezer door is completely frozen shut. I nearly broke the unit (not to mention my back, legs) trying to get the freezer door open so that I could spend 45 minutes at a really odd angle with a blow dryer trying to melt and chip away at the iceberg that was the left side, back and bottom of this freezer unit. Unless your masochistic, or just feel like playing a bad joke on someone, stay away.

This is without a doubt the best refrigerator we've owned or ever been around. It is so quiet that you hardly know it's in the same room with you. It has 3 different noise levels--depending upon what is running-- one of the 2 fans or the compressor. The compressor is the most audible,but even that is very quiet and seldom runs. We just returned from a trip and while gone the average electric-power usage for the days we were gone was only 3.5KW for the entire house, so obviously the refrigerator doesn't use much power at all. We've set the fresh food compartment thermastat at 38 and the freezer at -1 and that keeps the ice cream frozen just right and the milk at the best temperature for drinking. We don't use that much ice, so we have the ice-maker turned off and since we've heard of several peope with water damage from faulty water-line connections to their refrigerators, we don't even have water connected to the unit. Time will tell if our sastifaction continues.

Read this if you're on a well system or plan to filter your water through a reverse osmosis system first.

I have owned this excellent fridge for six months now. It's roomy. Has a wide thin storage drawer, which works well for my vegetable and cheese trays. It has two deep veggie/fruit drawers. Jugs of milk easily fit in the doors. It runs quietly except I do notice the sound of ice dropping when the house is quiet, and a big perk is that it resists fingerprints better than most stainless steel. 

One area where I have had trouble is the ice maker. It worked at first, but after a few months the output diminished, then completely stopped. A repairman came out, got it working again, but admitted he didn't know what he did to make it start working again.  A few months later the problem started again.  I called Frigidaire and mentioned in passing that the water filters through our separate reverse osmosis system before it goes to the ice maker. Ah-ha, said the service department, that's the problem. Water pressure on an osmosis system hovers around 20 psi. The ice maker needs minimum 30 psi to function properly. I also mentioned we're out in the country and have a well. Double-whammy against the ice maker. 

For reverse osmosis and/or wells the fridge needs a bypass filter. This replaces the regular standard filter that comes with it. The filters are super easy to change. Just open the fridge door and there it is in the back--top right corner. 

The silver lining in this story is once you insert the bypass filter (about $40.00) it never needs replaced. BTW, the regular standard filter (about $40.00) that comes with the fridge needs replaced about every six months. My understanding is this is pretty standard with all makes and model containing ice makers.

The manual for this particular model doesn't highlight the issue.  Overall, I'm pleased with the fridge, but I think Frigidaire should do a better job highlighting the fact those on wells or with osmosis systems need a different filter, and in such cases, it should be switched without charge before delivery.
