Gathering the reviews
We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.
Calculating the average
Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

What convenient features does this freezer include?Based on 6 owner mentions
This model comes with two movable baskets for organization, caster wheels for easy repositioning and cleaning, an interior LED light for visibility, and a green power indicator light on the front. Reviewers highlight these features as practical additions that improve usability and maintenance.
How quickly does the freezer reach its target temperature?Based on 3 owner mentions

Is this freezer quiet during operation?Based on 7 owner mentions
Yes, multiple reviewers specifically praise the freezer for being very quiet or quiet for its size. Owners note it runs quietly enough that it doesn't create noise disturbance, making it suitable for basements and garages.
What are the dimensions, and will it fit in my space?Based on 2 owner mentions
The freezer measures 55 inches wide, 32.5 inches tall, and 29.3 inches deep. Some reviewers note it is a substantial unit that may not fit through standard doorways, so measuring your space and entryways before purchase is recommended.
Does this freezer require manual defrosting?Based on 2 owner mentions

Are there any design features reviewers wish were included?Based on 4 owner mentions

MhodgesAug 16, 2025Extremely happy We’re using it for our food pantry at our church. It’s been a great asset.
Linda9951Jun 18, 2026- Perfect
I love my new Frigidaire freezer. It looks great! It works perfectly and the size is wonderful. I highly recommend it and that's why my review title is PERFECT.
Stephen 711Apr 7, 2026 - Very good
Very good so far, hope it works longer than the last - it was upright convertible, only worked 6 years. This is only the second Frigidaire I’ve owned.

Brand Background
About Frigidaire
Frigidaire holds a distinctive place in American kitchen history, having pioneered the self-contained refrigerator in 1918 and becoming so synonymous with the appliance category that the brand name was once used generically for any refrigerator.

The Fridge.com catalog currently tracks 258 active Frigidaire products spanning an impressively diverse range of categories. The lineup includes 43 top-freezer models, 32 french-door refrigerators, and 62 ice makers, alongside 21 chest freezers and 14 upright freezers for dedicated frozen storage needs. Compact and specialty cooling options are well represented too, with 26 compact units and 20 beverage centers available. Popular models like the FFTR1835VS freezer and the FRSS2323AS refrigerator see consistent tracking activity on the platform. This breadth of selection across multiple refrigeration categories reflects Frigidaire's century-long commitment to making quality cold storage accessible at every price point, from basic dorm-room compacts to full-featured family refrigerators.
