hey guys i'm cnet's rye crist here with
the frigidaire gallery french door
refrigerator model fghb2866pf
this is a 27.2 cubic foot capacity model
with this nice smudge proof stainless
steel exterior now that doesn't mean you
can't leave fingerprints on if you try
hard you definitely can just like that
but it does mean that it's pretty easy
to clean just a quick wipe with a paper
towel and it's back to looking like it's
fresh from the factory floor now turning
inside the fridge you see plenty of
options for customizing your shelving as
well you can take this top shelf and
tuck it under for large items you can do
a sort of similar thing with this shelf
and fold it up against the ice maker the
ice maker is located inside the fridge
and not in the door that's sort of
bucking a recent trend of indoor ice
makers and you lose some space because
of that so overall a fairly spacious
interior we're able to squeeze in our
entire load of test groceries inside of
it along with a couple of large items
that we test with to sort of stress it
out a big cake tray a casserole dish
extra large pizza box with a little bit
of reorganization and sort of moving
things around strategically we could get
almost all of that inside of the fridge
that said the refrigeration performance
was not as good as we hoped here we test
for 72 hour stretches at various
temperature settings so at 37 degrees we
got readings that we didn't like
especially here on the top shelf where
the hot air can sort of rise a little
bit don't want that from the interior of
your fridge maybe the doors might get a
little warmer but the actual body of the
fridge should stay nice and cool
definitely below 40. testing again at 33
degrees everything stayed well below 40
degrees definitely food safe definitely
good to use if i own this fridge i'd
probably keep it down at 33 and i
wouldn't feel comfortable going up much
higher than 35 and that takes away some
of your flexibility to save energy this
frigidaire gallery french door unit
sells for 2600 though you can find it
for a couple hundred less we're finding
it about 2 200 at various retail outlets
here at the time of this video but keep
in mind that you can get french door
units for as low as 1500 nowadays and
also once you're spending more than 2
000 you can start to find some pretty
cool features like door and door and
food showcase fridges from samsung those
are interesting and they mirror
consideration there's nothing quite as
exciting or sexy with this fridge that
makes me rush to recommend it thanks for
