Frigidaire FRT18S6JS 18 Refrigerator Review
More often than not when you find an inexpensive
refrigerator it is not equipped with any interesting features. Inexpensive
refrigerators are generally drab and lifeless, designed mostly with white
and without anything that makes you think to yourself “okay, I could use
that” before you make your purchase. They are made to keep things cool for
not very much money, and that is what they do.
The Frigidaire FRT18S6JS 18.2 cu. ft. Top-Freezer
Refrigerator, on the other hand, is a fairly decent exception to this rule.
While it is by no means flashy, it does not fall under the umbrella of
“drab, inexpensive” refrigerators despite being very low cost. Though it may
be a little pricier than the most inexpensive models, it is a fairly big
upgrade in terms of design and functionality, for a cost increase that does
not represent the value of the upgrade.

Pros
The average cost of the drab, nothing refrigerators
is approximately $450. The average cost of fully loaded fridges is
approximately $1000-$3000 depending on features. The Frigidaire FRT18S6JS
Top-Freezer Refrigerator is only $620 – barely a little more than a drab
refrigerator and still drastically less than those that are loaded with
features.
That is not to say that the Frigidaire FRT18S6JS
Top-Freezer Refrigerator is fulled with features. It is not. But what the
Frigidaire FRT18S6JS Top-Freezer Refrigerator does have is a very attractive
design that will fit well in any kitchen, clear crispers for easy storage,
glass sliding shelves for easy cleaning, two different humidity control
options, and even crisper lighting so you can easily see inside.
As you can see, the Frigidaire FRT18S6JS
Top-Freezer Refrigerator still has quite a few different features that make
it less drab, at a price that is not much higher than the most inexpensive
models.
Cons
The Frigidaire FRT18S6JS Top-Freezer Refrigerator
isn’t particularly large, only housing 18.9 cubic feet. Though that is
nothing to sneeze at for the price. There is no water dispenser or ice maker
or any of those nifty features, and it is not equipped with its own
temperature gauge. The Frigidaire FRT18S6JS Top-Freezer Refrigerator is also
not as energy efficient as it could be. The installed door bins can also
hold quite a bite, but they are immovable, so you cannot adjust the door
bins to fit extra items.
Overall Impressions
It should be repeated that the Frigidaire FRT18S6JS
Top-Freezer Refrigerator is still not some fancy, feature rich refrigerator
with great energy consumption and most of what you need. What the Frigidaire
FRT18S6JS Top-Freezer Refrigerator is, however, is a very aesthetically
pleasing refrigerator at an easily affordable price for most families. The
cost difference between this and the most inexpensive refrigerators
available is not very high, but what you get with this model is an
attractive refrigerator with good room that works really well, and will look
better than pleasant in most households.
