This refrigerator is so quiet I had to listen closely after it was installed to make sure it was running. I've had it for about 2 months now and the dealer told me that the older models had icemaker problems but Frigidaire recently changed the icemaker design. I have had no problems yet and have never run out of ice for a family of four. That was a big concern after reading reviews of all french door models that have the icemaker in the refrigerator section. Really like the no smudge stainless, it does not show fingerprints. If you are considering a Frigidaire french door be sure you get one with the new updated icemaker. This review is on the model FPHB2899LFA. I'm one happy camper with this purchase so far.

Buy

Purchased this refrigerator from Lowe's not Amazon Sept 2010 & have spent $600 over the past 5 months on ice maker related problems involving both ice makers. Today tech support at Frigidaire gave up & I was offered a 50% rebate if I wanted to purchase another similar $2,100 Frigidaire refrigerator. Let's look at the math: Original purchase $2,000 + $600 in repairs = cost of ownership of $2,600 for the 29 months before the unit was declared non-repairable. Now Frigidaire wants me to spend another $2,000 dollars on a similar unit & they will send me a 50% rebate after the fact. So now I would have another $1,000 invested in this refrigerator for a total of $3,600 for a $2,000 refrigerator. And if you look at other reviews the ice makers are a big problem as well as loud banging noises all problems that I have experienced. And once FrigidIre pronounced the unit non-repairable they did not offer to replace the unit. They want me to buy a similar unit that according to most reviews say the ice makers and the noise are a big problem. If you are smart buy another brand. Stay away from this high maintenance beast.

Buyer beware! If you have hours to spend at your house waiting for the repairman or hours available on the phone to try and get Frigidaire to cover(argue with them) their defects on design on the icemaker(air entry/frosting over, lots of noise, NO ICE, water leakage etc. etc...) than this fridge is for you.

Very disappointing purchase from Lowes(not AMAZON)

I bought this fridge Dec 30th 2010. 5 different visits from a repair man during the first year. Now, the ice maker has stopped working and the freezer temp goes form its set zero to 15 degrees and back to zero. Does this often.

I purchased the Frigidaire refrigerator and was fairly pleased with it for the first year. After 14 months, the ice maker stopped working. It took an entire swap of the ice maker to get it working again at a cost of $220. I contacted Frigidaire to see if they would at least support this unit with parts, but their response was "you should have bought an extended warranty." Warning! If you buy a Frigidaire refrigerator, add the cost of the warranty that you'll need when the unit breaks. Other brands that I've owned have been much more forthcoming than this with helping repair the unit just out of warranty.
