downside to the frigidaire single door refrigerator?

I actually just looked into these. We are remodeling our kitchen and I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on these. I too like the counterdepth and more room these would provide

We have those. In service since December of 2020.

Installing the surround trim kit is no small feat. And the more room you have in front of them, the better. If you install the trim kit, you're attaching the two together, which of course makes servicing them more challenging. We purchased the units during covid delays, so we got our trim kit about 6 months after we moved into our new home. Our trim kit is still in the garage. My SO brings up installing it every few months, I will continue my effort to delay. They look fine without it imo.

As far as having and enjoying them, so far they've been great.

I have these. I have zero complaints except for the fact that we have the fridge with no water dispenser.

Good to know about the trim kit. I looked at both the louvered (first pic) and solid (second pic) and I like the first one the best.

And to the person saying there's no room... It's like 68" wide because it's 2 full size units. there's room for days and we're moving the existing fridge to the utility room so we have that for overflow.

Wiz .. Do you have the fridge with or without the water dispenser? I hear it's more of a challenge to hook that up because the fridge and freezer need separate water lines.

ETA the only other thing that was odd is the little $60 heating pad you have to put between them if you're putting them against each other.

You only need to remove 4 screws from the bottom and the middle snap in piece to separate them usually.
They are both on wheels too and both are pretty light for their size. Compared to a built in.

You can use a splitter. A t valve even.
Change your faucet from a single 1/4" to a dual. Buy you can also have both share a tap. Using push in shark bite style connectors 1/4".

I've seen the freezer with a water dispenser as well. The freezer also uses the classic mechanical Frigidaire icemaker. Last forever and really cheap to replace if need be.

DO NOT BUY!

We have that set up and it’s been nothing but trouble. Moved in 2 years ago:
-compressor on refrigerator is LOUD. Obviously not mounted properly, shakes the whole fridge when it shuts off. Haven’t wanted to pull the fridge out and take apart to figure it out.
-water dispenser button sticks, so 20% of the time that you get water, it keeps shooting out after pulling the glass away.
-freezer quit making ice about 6 months ago. Googled and it was an ice block in the line. Fixed it for a few weeks. Remedy hasn’t worked since, so we just buy bagged ice.

Tempted to spend $10k just to be done with these things.

eta: my model numbers -
Refrigerator FPRU19F6WF0
Freezer FPFU19F8WF0

Same. We have them and I do miss having a water dispenser, but we just use a brita pitcher.

eta: to clarify, we have the separate units that look like one unit b/c of the trim kit. I bought it from Stanton's and paid a few extra bucks for them to send someone to hook it up. The installer showed me how to uninstall them if I ever needed to separate them.

If you've never had a counter depth before, it's far from all the room in the world. A large sized pizza box won't fit in a counter depth.

We have the same as the units in the pics above and my middle shelf will fit a large pizza box from dominoes, pizza hut, papa johns, etc. We have small kids and order pizza a couple of times a month. The way the inside is shaped, there are some shelves that aren't deep enough. But I can assure you that over the past 5 years, I've stuck many of large pizzas in that fridge.

Well now I am thinking that I have two separate units with the trim kit to make it look like one. The fridge and freezer each have a model number inside.

The fridge is without a water line. We keep a brita thing in there.

ETA: I guess they are all two pieces with a trim kit. You can just have louvered vs. flat trim?
