Frigidaire FRQG1721AV Essential Features for Small Families?

Any thoughts on the best type of refrigerator for a small family? I'm considering the Frigidaire FRQG1721AV.

I've heard good things about it! You can find more details in Overview of the Frigidaire FRQG1721AV Refrigerator. It's got a bottom freezer style, which is great for keeping frozen items organized. Plus, the total capacity is pretty big with 17.4 cubic feet overall, so there should be plenty of room for your family.

Thanks for sharing that link @kornchic. The capacity does seem impressive. What about energy efficiency? I've heard Energy Star certified models are better for the environment and save money on electricity bills.

You're right, Energy Star certified models do tend to be more efficient. However, the FRQG1721AV isn't Energy Star certified, so it might not be as energy-efficient as some other options. But, if you like the design and capacity, it could still be a good choice for your family.

It's worth considering the dimensions too! The height is 70 inches, which may be tall enough to fit in your kitchen but also make it less accessible for younger kids or shorter individuals. Just something to think about!

I never thought about the refrigerator style impacting organization until I started looking at different models. The bottom freezer seems like a good option for keeping fresh food accessible while maintaining an organized freezer.

That's true, @Rob-A-Tron. Plus, it has adjustable shelves and temperature controls which makes it even more versatile. But, as others mentioned, it does lack Energy Star certification and ice makers, which are features I'm interested in.

I'd recommend checking out some reviews online for the FRQG1721AV to get a better sense of how families like yours are finding it works for them. You might even find some user experiences that touch on those specific features you're looking for.

Thanks everyone for your input! I'll definitely read up more reviews and see if this model fits our needs. If not, there are still plenty of other options out there. The process is fun, but also a bit overwhelming at times!
