Choosing the right refrigerator is an important task when updating your kitchen, especially since it's a large piece that draws attention when you walk in the room. It represents your style and can be a reflection of your personality. Some product lines provide sleek handles and a smooth contoured appearance while others have a more rugged commercial look. For consumers who are passionate about cooking or just want to feel like the top chef of their own personal restaurant, professionally-styled appliances are a great choice!
When we think of these kinds of professionally-styled appliances, brands like Viking and Wolf often come to mind. If you want that style but are a bit more price conscious, Frigidaire Professional makes a beautifully designed line of products with a commercial edge. While much can be said about Frigidaire’s ranges, wall ovens, dishwashers, and cooktops, we’re going to look at their Professional line of refrigerators in this article.
This line of products is only available in a stainless steel finish, an idea that strikes fear into parents everywhere over concern of never-ending fingerprint cleanup! But Frigidaire addressed that issue and created the entire line of Professional products with a smudge proof stainless steel finish, making the sleek appearance easy to maintain. They also have gorgeous bar-style handles for a restaurant-inspired look.

The PureAir® Air Filter system removes more odor than baking soda so your food smells and tastes fresh. The refrigerator organization is pretty solid: two adjustable gallon door bins, two adjustable shelves and one fixed shelf, plus two crispers. The freezer organization features an adjustable shelf and two fixed door bins.

2. The Frigidaire Professional PRFS2883AF Full Depth French Door Refrigerator
Next up is another Frigidaire Professional model, which is a French door refrigerator. Model PRFS2883AF is 27.8 cubic feet and retails for $3,199 in stainless steel. This refrigerator is considered a standard-depth model, meaning the body will protrude beyond the countertop edge for most consumers. If you have several members living in the household and have the room for it, the extra space may make this model more desirable.
Possessing similar internal components as the last fridge and more, this one also adds an external icemaker and water dispenser. It has an icemaker in the freezer as well for extra ice production. Possessing dual icemakers can make entertaining easier and adds to that restaurant style feel in your kitchen. The icemaker in the fresh food compartment takes up part of the top shelf of the refrigerator.
This model is a great option when it comes to organization and keeping a long food life. It has CrispSeal® Plus Crispers with Auto Humidity to preserve your fruits and vegetables. With EvenTemp™ Cooling System, both freezer and refrigerator compartments will have an even air distribution that is also a great help in prolonging the lifespan of your food items. SpaceWise® Organization System includes additional functional spaces like in-door condiment storage, slide under shelf, and accessory railing system.
Bottomline, this model can give you an option to store more items without compromising the food items from spoilage! Also, like the previous model, this option is Energy Star rated.

3. The Frigidaire Professional PRMC2285AF Counter Depth 4-Door French Door Refrigerator
This third model is also a 36-inch French door-style model, but unlike the previous refrigerators, it has four doors (learn more about four-door refrigerators here). Model PRMC2285AF is a 21.4 cubic feet counter-depth refrigerator, priced at $3,899. Its additional middle drawer or the Custom-Flex Temp Drawer can be set from -6° to 45°F, so you have the choice to cool your snacks, freeze meats, or chill your drinks in there. Another step up: it's Energy Star certified, so you can save money on utility costs!
Like the last refrigerator we looked at, this one also has water and ice on the exterior of the door and utilizes similar purifying technology. The TwinTech cooling system and the automatic humidity-controlled crispers both help keep your food fresh. With the SpaceWise organization system, you have the flexibility to fit different food items and drinks and maximize your space in the adjustable gallon door bins, adjustable glass shelves, a SnackZone, and more.

4. The Frigidaire Professional FPRU19F8WF All-Refrigerator Column Model for Built-In Installations
The last refrigerator we’ll look at is a 19 cubic feet all-refrigerator option, model FPRU19F8WF, which is priced at $3,699. This refrigerator is different from other models in that it is only 32" wide. Customers who purchase this refrigerator often have a very large space in their kitchen where they can put a corresponding all-freezer model right next to it (in this case, model FPFU19F8WF).
Combine with an optional trim kit to cover a 75" or 79" wide space. Like the other refrigerators we’ve looked at, this one has quality features including SpaceWise shelving, a full-width crisper drawer, and the PureAir Ultra® filtration system. Upgrades from the previous version of this column refrigerator before the 2021 update include:
-
Internal water dispenser
-
Enhanced LED lighting throughout, including areas like crispers and door bins
-
Auto-close doors
-
CrispSeal® Plus Crispers with Auto Humidity
- No exterior brand badge for a more premium look
The previous lineup (featuring the FPRU19F8WF and matching freezer) cost $1,000 less. These new features and others mean the upgraded models have more to offer.
If you need a replacement for an existing built-in refrigerator but don't want to shell out $10,000 or more, you can get the built-in look for less with these column refrigerator and freezer pairs from Frigidaire Professional! You can read about more options in our article on all-refrigerators.
