Our verdict

A convertible compact upright that works as a fridge or a freezer, suited to garages, dorms and apartments. Defrosting is manual, so plan on emptying it now and then to clear frost.

Overview

Switching between refrigerator and freezer mode with a single click, the Frigidaire is a compact upright that changes jobs as storage needs shift. Mechanical temperature control sets the cold level, and glass shelves organize what goes inside.

Flexibility is the reason to buy: the same cabinet can hold frozen meat one season and drinks the next. A flush back and leveling legs help it stand neatly against a wall on uneven floors. Manual defrost and a mechanical control mean simple operation, but frost has to be cleared by hand.

Who it's for

Students, renters and anyone adding overflow storage in a garage get a small upright that converts as needs change. Households that want automatic defrost or room for a large bulk stockpile should look at a bigger frost-free freezer.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Converts between refrigerator and freezer
  • Reversible door swings either way
  • Flush back fits close to walls
  • Leveling legs steady it on uneven floors
Cons
  • Manual defrost, frost builds over time
  • Small capacity for bulk stocking
  • Operating temperature range not listed
  • Mechanical control, no digital readout

Performance notes

Cooling comes from a condenser system run by a mechanical control, so the cold level is a control setting rather than a displayed temperature. Frost gradually builds on the cold surfaces in freezer mode, and heavy frost cuts both usable space and efficiency until it is defrosted. Placement matters too: the flush back allows close fitting, but a hot garage makes the system work harder.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Frigidaire EFRF317AMZ run in a garage?
