About Frigidaire EFR492, 4.6 cu ft Refrigerator
Overall Feedback:
68% positive
71% found the temperature control easy to use; however, 29% experienced inconsistencies or inaccurate temperature readings
Despite setting it to the lowest level of 1, everything froze.
72% liked the storage organization; however, 28% found it lacking or had issues with shelf spacing
The door storage is designed only for drinks, but it holds a lot of fresh food.
74% found the size and capacity suitable; however, 26% wished for more space or had issues with fitting items
The inside capacity of the refrigerator is great, but the motor reduces the bottom space.
I am disappointed with the listed dimensions as they are far from correct. The height is shorter by about 2-3 inches and the width is not as wide as listed by another 2 inches or so. This is my second mini fridge and my other fridge which is the same cubic ft fits perfectly where I need it to fit, but this Frigidaire fits rather loose in the custom cabinets space provided.
77% appreciated its quiet operation
I sit 6 feet away from the refrigerator for 5 days a week for 10 hours a day and there is no noise, just quiet.
71% appreciated its energy efficiency
The fridge is very quiet and the door closes with a nice seal, indicating its energy efficiency.
72% were impressed with its durability; however, 28% experienced issues like malfunctioning parts or premature wear and tear
The plastic door covering the freezer was hanging on one peg and the part fitting into the sides of the freezer unit were both broken due to frost build-up. This shows that the compact-refrigerator is not durable.
My first compact-refrigerator lasted for about four years and then the motor died.
74% appreciated the design; however, 26% found it less attractive in person
The interior layout is poor as I have to remove a shelf to fit a standard 1/2 gallon or 1 gallon milk or juice carton.
69% liked its cooling performance; however, 31% experienced occasional temperature fluctuations
The refrigerator cools down quickly and the freezer makes ice cubes in about an hour.
I noticed that even at the warmest setting of 1, the refrigerator froze almost everything in the fresh food area.

The cooling control of the refrigerator is not working.
