Frigidaire EF756MNT Retro Apartment Size Refrigerator 7.5 Cu Ft

Overview

This is a 7.5 cubic foot two door refrigerator in green with a top freezer, chrome handles and mid-century styling, sold under the Frigidaire name as model EF756MNT. Cooling is set by a mechanical thermostat and the cabinet uses a flush back design.

Apartment size fridges usually look like appliances that lost an argument with a budget. This one is styled to be seen, which is the whole point of buying it for a den, bar area or office rather than hiding it under a counter. Inside it is conventional: three slide-out glass shelves, a crisper, four door shelves tall enough for bottles, and cycle defrost rather than frost free.

• 7.5 cu ft, roughly 206 liters
• Two door layout with chrome handles
• Mechanical thermostat, no digital panel
• Front leveling legs plus rear casters

Who it's for

Right for a rec room, cabin, dorm or office where the fridge is part of the decor and drink storage matters more than freezer volume. Anyone who needs a serious freezer, or who cannot tolerate cosmetic imperfection out of the box, should look at a plain white model instead.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Spill-proof glass shelves stop a knocked-over bottle running down onto the shelf below, and the three of them slide out and reposition, which matters in a cabinet this small. The listing rates it at 40 dB, quiet enough for a bedroom or study. Cycle defrost means the freezer compartment will need manual attention periodically.
