Frigidaire FRT18HS6JS Review
The Frigidaire FRT18HS6JS is a top-freezer refrigerator with 18.2 cubic feet of space that gives consumers the opportunity to buy a stainless steel model for a price that falls within the Cheapism niche. Like other cheap refrigerators, this model doesn�t attract the attention of experts, although Frigidaire FRT18HS6JS reviews by users tend towards the positive. On Buzzilllions and AJ Madison, reviews give a thumbs up for the affordable price, attractive styling, relatively roomy interior, pull-out glass shelves, and quiet operation. But several minor gripes pop up here and there: a few Frigidaire FRT18HS6JS reviews say it�s a bit noisy, the plastic drawers seem a bit flimsy, and Best Buy shoppers posting Frigidaire FRT18HS6JS reviews say the same about the glass shelves.
A basic model with few frills, the Frigidaire FRT18HS6JS does feature spill-proof shelves, gallon door storage, two crispers, and a deli and butter tray. It is also Energy Star Qualified, with energy consumption of 383 kWh /year and an estimated yearly operating cost of $41. It is available in white, black, bisque, silver mist, and stainless steel.
The small size of the Frigidaire FRT18HS6JS makes it a good deal for singles, couples, and urban dwellers, but impractical for larger families. At just under $600, it�s also a great way to update your kitchen to stainless steel without going into debt.
