Product review (3 stars): Not too bad....yet.
To start...I bought this fridge from Best Buy.  I plugged it in this morning and it has been running continuously because other reviews (Best Buy website) said to put the temperature setting lower than the recommended setting because it is finicky.  So far the freezer has stayed below zero degrees but the fridge is difficult to maintain around 34-36 without readjusting the temperature setting.  I'm sure I'll get it right in a few days time.  As for the plastic parts breaking that other customers have complained about...well, it's plastic.  The doors are meant to hold gallon jugs, not skinny bottle of whatever will fall through the crack between the shelf and rail.  Also, this fridge has a wicked seal so you have to be careful opening it because I can only imagine that you will break the plastic handle that it comes with.  Oh, did I mention that it was only a little over $500 dollars for an 18 quick foot fridge?  You get what you pay for and I purchased this for a garage fridge because it states it is "garage ready".  Now to get to the noise part.  People on other websites have compared the sound of the fridge to a gas powered generator.  I'm not going to lie, when I plugged it in I thought a plane was about to take off.  I'm not an engineer, but upon opening the freezer door and pressing against the plastic hosing on the back wall (where the evaporator fan is located), I immediately realized that the noise was coming from the fan rubbing up against the plastic housing.  To remedy this, I simply pushed on the rear wall (made of aluminum) back a little bit because the fan is attached to the back wall.  This pushed the fan back far enough to where it wasn't rubbing against the plastic piece in the middle and it immediately became quieter.  I could not be happier now that it doesn't sound like a jet engine in my garage...simply an engineering defect on Fridgiaire's part.  I'll post back here in a few months to let you know how wel it is holding up in a garage environment (Oklahoma summers) to see if it is truly "garage ready".  Until then...do not shy away from this fridge because the price point is rights for the quality.  So until then, I am only giving it 3 stars because of the finicky temperature control.
