Customers have good things to say about the Gallery 21.7 Cu. Ft. Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator. They appreciate its counter-depth design, which is perfect for small kitchens, and its spacious interior. Many customers also like the French door design. On the downside, some customers have complained about the small ice maker, occasional loud noises, and limited space, especially for tall items.
I wanted a counter depth refrigerator to give the more built-in look. That greatly limited my selection and also increased the prices. The Frigidaire on sale was one of the better priced options. It has some nice features like a carbon air filter, led lighting from the front of the fridge as opposed to the back (like my previous refrigerator), and fingerprint resistant stainless. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. The ice maker more than keeps up for a house of 2 but may struggle with more. One big plus for me is when you press a glass, ice comes out quickly. Our old Samsung (and my parent's as well) had a big delay between pushing the dispenser and it turning on and then there was usually a delay once on before ice came out. It would take up to 20 seconds sometimes. An interesting thing to note is that the ice cubes are much smaller than normal. I'd guess around 1" cubed. My biggest complaints are related build quality. After owning the fridge for a few weeks, I happened to notice that the flap between the 2 doors was not flipped over, leaving a large open space between the doors. This was hard to notice with the light off. I had to adjust the flap so that it would hit the channel to engage the flipper. We've also had one of the drawers break already. The design where the wheels attach is very weak. I had to epoxy the wheel back on. The paint at the bottom of the water and ice dispenser is not durable. After 6 months, it is fairly scratched up. Lastly, the refrigerator is a little noisy. Occasionally I will hear strange noises and realize it is coming from the fridge. I will say that the Samsung seemed to have slightly better build quality and the only sounds I ever heard was ice dropping, but it had a much more infuriating ice maker and lights in the rear that got covered if the fridge was too full.

We've only had the refrigerator about 3 weeks, but so far we have been very pleased. Really different layout from our previous side by side. It is spacious and since the shelves can be adjusted, very flexable for storage. A few reviewers stated that their units were noisy. Ours barely makes a sound unless ice is being dispensed. There isn't any way to make a silent ice dispenser. After doors have been opened, there is a very low hum of the compressor cooling the unit. Again, a sound that should be expected. We actually couldn't be more pleased. Also, it really is smudge or fingerprint proof. Love it!

Freezes foods in the back of the fridge even with temps at max for fridge. Called frigidaire for service and after over 30 min on the phone they agreed to send someone to repair. No one ever showed up. Now warranty is over. 1.5 years into ownership now and both crisp drawers are bent. Water dispenser gets stuck frequently and overpours. Cheap quality for the price. 2 stars only because the freezer is nice, roomy and works well. Will not buy from Frigidaire again after this experience.
