Frigidaire Gallery 36" X 35.8" Bottom Freezer 21.5 Cu. Ft. Energy Star Refrigerator

The bottom-left compartment can be set to either freezer or refrigerator mode, giving owners flexibility to adjust storage based on their needs. Many reviewers use it as a beverage cooler or extra fridge space when they don't need a large freezer, and some convert it to a meat or drink storage zone.

The counter-depth design (35.8 inches wide, 70.1 inches tall, 35.8 inches deep) integrates seamlessly with kitchen cabinetry and frees up floor space compared to standard-depth models. However, reviewers note it holds noticeably less than a full-depth refrigerator—one owner found it significantly more shallow—so it works best for smaller households or those with modest storage needs.

The four-door layout includes two pull-out freezer drawers on the bottom that make it easy to locate and retrieve items without digging through a pile of frozen food. Reviewers consistently praise this organization compared to traditional chest or drawer freezers, and the dual-door freezer section provides ample storage with clear visibility.

Most reviewers report the unit runs noticeably quieter than their previous refrigerators. However, one reviewer noted the ice maker is very loud, and another wished the overall unit was quieter, so while the compressor and cooling system are generally quiet, the ice-making function may produce noticeable noise.

The snack compartments are shallow and have limited depth, so they work best for small or flat items like cheese sticks and lunchmeat packages. Reviewers note that thicker items or standard-sized packages may not fit, and some wish these compartments were deeper or designed as pull-outs for better usability.

The refrigerator includes an ice maker with both cube and crushed ice options, plus a water dispenser. The ice maker and water filter are conveniently located outside the main fridge area. Reviewers praise the ice nugget feature and easy switching between ice types, though the ice maker can be loud and takes up significant space in the upper fridge section rather than in the door.

Reviewers consistently praise the refrigerator for feeling substantial and well-made compared to competitors, with quality materials and thoughtful design. The sleek, handle-free design (with grab points above and below the doors) gives a clean, modern look that integrates well with kitchen décor and reduces fingerprints. One reviewer noted that the grab points can be awkward and may require touching the unit front to close.

The refrigerator includes adjustable shelves that allow customization of storage layout. One reviewer noted that while the shelves are adjustable, they wish there were more flexibility in positioning, but overall the adjustability is appreciated for organizing different-sized items.
