After manufacturing refrigerators for over a century, it’s safe to say that Frigidaire has significant experience under its belt. The company has several lines of products, including the basic Frigidaire, the restaurant-inspired Frigidaire Professional, and the stylish Frigidaire Gallery. While much can be said about each product line, we will be looking specifically at Frigidaire Gallery refrigerators in this article to compare the different styles and features available.
The three main categories of Frigidaire Gallery refrigerators are French door, top freezer, and side-by-side. This product line offers refrigerators in black, white, black stainless steel, and stainless steel. Stainless steel is the most readily available Frigidaire Gallery color with most products having that as an option.
One of the biggest concerns when buying stainless steel appliances is that they show fingerprints and other smudges easily, and the upkeep is more trouble than it’s worth. That’s where Frigidaire Gallery gains an edge over much of the competition. Every stainless steel product in this line features a smudge-resistant stainless steel finish, which still has a sleek modern look but leaves behind the hassle of constant upkeep. When this line was released in 2014, it was the first option to offer fingerprint resistant stainless steel!
We'll review the models available for each style of refrigerator in the Frigidaire Gallery line. Click the links to skip to the product you're interested in:
Let's dig in!
1. The Counter Depth 21.5 cu. ft. French Four Door Refrigerator - Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273BF - $3,499
First one on the list is the French four door refrigerator from Frigidaire Gallery, Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273BF, features a Custom-Flex Temp Drawer between the fridge and freezer that offers wide temperature range settings (Click here to read more about four door refrigerators.) The model is also counter depth for a flush fit.
This extra drawer is great for snack storage, chilling meats and cheeses, and more. This is also great in keeping your veggies fresh, so having a food waste can be prevented. The temperature can be adjusted down to -6 degrees for keeping items frozen and up to 45 degrees for items like white wine. Other four door refrigerators don't allow the temperature to be turned down below freezing, so Frigidaire Gallery has a unique option in this class of refrigerator!
This model also features an OpenAccess fresh food door: the righthand door is larger, so you can access most of the refrigerator's interior just by opening that one door. It's a dual evaporator model with TwinTech cooling for more even and consistent cooling performance in the fridge and freezer sections. The external water and ice dispenser is good to have too, so there's no need to open the refrigerator excessively if you just need a cold water to drink especially during summer.
If you're looking for a French door model with some of the hottest new and convenient features on the market, this model might be perfect for your needs!

2. The Full Depth 28.8 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - Frigidaire Gallery GRFN2853AF - $2,699
The next Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator we’ll look at is another French door style model, albeit a much larger one. The Frigidaire Gallery GRFN2853AF is priced at $2,699 and at 28.8 cubic feet, it’s a full 7.4 cubic feet larger than the preceding model! Feature-wise, this fridge comes packed with many of the same attributes, including large door bin storage, in-door condiment storage, slide under shelf, and accessory railing system.
Other than the size, the other most obvious feature difference in this model is that it does not come with water and ice in the door. This creates a more stark, smooth appearance and allows you to utilize the full interior of your fridge instead of having the ice bucket taking space in the top shelf. A factory-installed ice maker is located in the freezer. This has an enhanced system that helps to save energy by still keeping the foods fresh. In addition, the Auto-Close Doors function is also helpful to give you assurance when you are not sure if you closed the fridge correctly.
This refrigerator is the same width as the $2,999 23.3 cu. ft. counter-depth model Frigidaire Gallery offers (the GRFG2353AF) but significantly deeper, protruding almost five additional inches. If you have the room and require lots of fresh food storage, this may be a good model to keep in mind.

-
CrispSeal® Plus Crispers with Auto Humidity
-
SpaceWise® Organization System
-

3. The Basic 22.3 cu. ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Frigidaire Gallery GRSC2352AF - $1,949
Next up is a new side-by-side Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator, the Frigidaire GRSC2352AF, priced at $1,949 and available in black stainless steel as well as in stainless steel. This model has a similar height and width as the previous model but with 31" depth, and while it has smaller capacity at 22.3 cubic feet, this size is large enough for many families.
French door refrigerators are definitely more popular than side-by-sides in today’s market, but there are still many consumers who do not like having a freezer on the bottom because they feel that it limits their ability to easily access the items they want. (See our article comparing French door vs side by sides for more info.) Like the first model we looked at, this refrigerator has water and ice in the door, with water filter. The ice maker is located in the top section of the freezer.
Just like the other two models, you still get adjustable storage and glass shelving in the refrigerator section. It also has a deli drawer to keep your sandwich meats and cheeses organized and multi-level bright LED lighting to help you find food quickly. Unlike the French door models, this one is also ADA compliant and may be better suited for those with physical handicaps. Make sure to check this model out if you're interested in a side-by-side refrigerator!

-
SpaceWise® Organization System: for flexible storage

4. The Basic 20.0 cu. ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator - Frigidaire Gallery FGHT2055VF - $1,149
Last up, we have a traditional top freezer Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator for those who want a classic and familiar style. The Frigidaire Gallery FGHT2055VF is a 20.0 cubic feet refrigerator coming in smudge proof stainless steel. Many currently available top freezer refrigerators are starkly featured, often coming with wire shelves, but this model possesses a full width deli drawer, glass shelves, adjustable gallon door bins, and is icemaker ready.
Similar to the larger models we previously discussed, this option includes humidity controlled crisper bin and bright LED lighting. At 30” wide, this may be a suitable alternative for consumers who have a smaller space to put a refrigerator since many households don’t have the room to fit the 33” or 36” width that French door and side by sides typically require. Even though it has larger capacity, you can store more food inside while still fit an 18 cu. ft. fridge cutout. This model is available in stainless steel at $1,149 and black stainless steel at $1,249.
Key Features:
-
Designer LED Lighting
-
EvenTemp™ Cooling System
-
CrispSeal® Crispers with Auto Humidity
-
Full-Width deli Drawer
-
Auto-Close Doors
-
Ice Maker Ready
Dimensions:
-
Height: 66.375"
-
Width: 30"
