Overview
Frigidaire's FRQG1721AV holds 17.4 cubic feet in total, split between 11.9 cubic feet of fresh food space and a 5.5 cubic foot freezer. The cabinet stands 70 inches tall and 32 13/16 inches wide, in a silver finish.
The distinguishing piece of hardware here is TwinTech, a dual evaporator setup. Instead of one cold source feeding both compartments, each section gets its own, which keeps freezer air from carrying dryness and odor into the fresh food side. That is normally a feature of larger and pricier boxes.
- 17.4 cu ft total, 11.9 fresh and 5.5 frozen
- 70 inches tall, 32 13/16 inches wide
- TwinTech dual evaporator cooling
- LED interior lighting throughout
Who it's for
A sensible fit for a kitchen with a full width opening but limited depth, or for a second refrigerator in a basement or utility room. Households that want ice and water at the door should look elsewhere, as nothing in the specification indicates a dispenser.
Pros and cons
- Two Space Wise glass shelves reposition as loads change
- Gallon bins in the door free up shelf space
- Two crispers keep produce separate from packaged food
- Dual evaporators limit odor transfer
- Door swing needs 42 7/8 inches of clearance
- Freezer share is modest at 5.5 cubic feet
- No dispenser indicated in the specification
Performance notes
Two evaporators mean the freezer and fresh food compartments are chilled independently, so humidity in the produce drawers is not stripped away by freezer air and strong smells stay put. LED strips replace bulbs throughout, which run cooler and light the back corners rather than just the top shelf.
