This small 12 cuft refrigerator is a very good small unit. It is bigger than the 9.9 Magic Chef, made better and holds temperature very well. I am presently using it in our 5th wheel as a replacement for the original refrigerator. It fit very well, does not have a lot of airspace around it, and it has run perfectly for 1.5 years now. Even during Irma when our power was it, it kept frozen things great for over 24 hours.
Looks great and is quiet.
A GOOD Frigidaire product, and they are not all good from Frigidaire.

Excellent for its size
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed a small refrigerator to fit in our galley kitchen. This Frigidaire fit the bill and for its size, its perfect.

Product was chosen because my other 3 kitchen appliances were also Frigidaire and the smaller size was due to the limited space in my condo.

Awkward proportions
The fridge works fine. I like the size. I live alone, and find it's more than enough room for my groceries. My only complaint is the proportions. I made a 7inch riser to put it on. Now it's perfect!

No Seevice
The unit arrived damaged, we were not there to sign at delivery so initial inspection missed the damage. When we discovered the damage we learned that Home Depot acts as a middle man and orders this direct from Electrolux, that means any support is only available from Electrolux. In short, we are the lucky owners of a cracked up fridge. Yay.

Perfect size! Excellent Quality!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Frigidaire for about four months and it is just perfect! It does not take up too much space yet; it stores all my groceries. My children simply love it! I have recommended it to my entire family. I love it!

Cools to 38 degrees in our AZ garage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had Beverage Cooler from frigadaire but it would not settled on one temperature..it is designed to go as low as 33 but ours changed from 57 to 42 with the door closed.
Now we have a small refrigerator that must be in our garage. We live in southern AZ and the temperature in the garage is 95. On setting 4 the lower section Hit 38 in less than 24 hours.
We will use it for beverage and extra food stuff as necessary.
A small frigadaire Refrigerator is better than a beverage Cooler, unless you buy an expensive model.

The refrigerator worked fine, and I liked that it had separate controls for the freezer. - it was way too small. It would be fine for a small office to keep lunches in, or even a dorm room, but not a family. Had to return it and get a bigger one.

We first purchased this about 4 years ago. Always maintained correct temperature. It holds an amazing amount of drink and or food, and yet it's a nice compact size that easily fits in our garage without taking up a lot of room. When it broke (MY FAULT as I overfilled it), we had to buy a new one. We were lucky to be able to find the exact same one (Only updated of course). This one works just as well as our old one if not better. I'm very glad it was still available to purchase.

Have had this refrigerator just under 2 weeks. We absolutely love it, so far. We set it to the middle temperature settings for the freezer and for the refrigerator. The freezer makes ice cubes in about 2 hours and the refrigerator is a few degrees above freezing with our kitchen in the 80's (Summer in L.A.). Ahhhhh, ice cold milk again!
It is so quiet that we wondered at first if it was even running. Our old refrigerator clicked and clunked. This is the 10.5 cu. ft. model and it has plenty of room in both the freezer and refrigerator.
Can't say a bad word about it at all.

Hard to know where to begin. Appliances certainly do not have the quality and reliability of years ago.
I ordered this fridge in July 2015. I was told they would do the door swing change at the time of delivery. But when the delivery was made the 2 men who brought it said they could not do the door change, that that would have to be a 2nd appt. several days later. When the men arrived to do said door change 5 days later they were unable to make the alignment correct & said it was thus defective & they would have to send a replacement-- days later. Then at that time the 2nd fridge delivered had a scratch on the side & had to be returned again. Days later the 3rd delivered fridge also had a small scratch on the side so it was refused, & days later the 4th delivery was made & the door swing change was made successfully. (Apparently they are assembled so the door opens from the left; if you need it to open from the right, it needs to be changed by the serviceman.)
I considered making a review of that wholly inconvenient series of deliveries at the time, which disrupted my summer plans, but I got busy & decided to chalk it up to human error. And anyway, how can you review an appliance you've only owned a month, when reliability is the main concern of buyers?
Home Depot gave me a gift card of $100 in consideration for that inconvenience. Of course I would rather have had the timely delivery, as would most folks.
Now 2 years later, after just under 2 yrs of use, the fresh food section (the lower section) is not cooling properly, even at the coldest setting. The freezer works fine, but the food & beverages below do not go below 47º, well above the acceptable temperature for a fridge. I have called Frigidaire about it & they have agreed to cover cost of parts, but not labor. The local company they set me up with for a repair is charging me $195 for labor. That sure seems a lot for an appliance less than 2 yrs old. Bear in mind I live alone and am the only one using it, so it's not like it's been overtaxed by multiple users in a family.
Frigidaire allowed me to purchase now an extended warranty for 3 yrs, but it will not cover this repair.
So make note: the sticker price for appliances is not the true price, as the cost of warranty must be added to it to be able to be assured of a reliable device. This is, of course, what they recommend, so I'm sure they would love to see me "support" the sale of warranties, which is just another way to make unreliable devices appear appealingly priced. And if an appliance fails within 2 years, how many more failures can one expect over the projected life of it, say 15 yrs?? Of course, one can keep renewing the warranty every 3 yrs (up to 15 yrs total), which seems to be now about $127 each time.
Are there other brands that are better? I do not know. This seemed like a reliable, long-standing brand that could be trusted to make serviceable models (now I see that means "can & likely will be serviced"). I needed a relatively small unit for a studio apt. It does seem that most models on offer are much larger, so it's hard to find small ones that fit small apts.; there may be limited brand choice in that small fridge range.
As for functionality, well, it was ok up till now. The top of the fridge section seems to be a little low, meaning it's great for a short person, but at 5'7" I do have to bend over a bit to access things even on the top shelf. I sort of got used to it. Other than that it's a pretty basic fridge, which was what I needed. Just wish it didn't work out to be rather expensive with repair, and now the added warranty. It's true that in apartments one's landlord often assumes the cost of refrigerators, but in this case I was purchasing it myself. If you are purchasing it for yourself, the warranty seems essential. This was one time where I elected to forgo the warranty. Now I know. Maybe 3 yrs from now I'll stop back here & record the functionality over time. That seems something that is hard to come by in reviews.

Refrigerator looks nice and works perfectly. The door openings had not been reversed, but the delivery man did this easily on the spot.
My only quibbles are with my choice - in retrospect, I should have gone for a larger size, and I wish the freezer was at the bottom instead of the top.
