Surpassed my hopes!

Two months ago (January 2022), my Frigidaire 18 cu ft fridge gave me about 2 days notice (freezer went to 30 degrees, fridge to 50 degrees) that it was dying at age 10. I was desperate for a new one. I had previously had my eye on the GE top freezer 20 cu ft, in an 18 cu ft cutout but couldn't find it anywhere. Couldn't find much of anything anywhere, especially for immediate pickup, what with COVID and all.Brandsmart online showed this fridge, which seemed much the same as the GE (but with better reviews). I called the store that showed it in stock and got lucky. Because there was no demo on the floor, they still had 2 in stock. So I went and had to buy it sight unseen since they wouldn't let me unpack it while there (I examined it very carefully on the internet).Once home, I spent the requisite hours unpacking it, removing the plastic shrink wrap etc. It was pristine. Most fridges these days have plastic interiors that seem very fragile. Surprisingly, this one feels a bit more substantial. It does not have a large choice of shelf levels to choose from, mostly because the deli drawer takes up vertical space.The drawer does add extra storage which, for me, makes up for a lot! The freezer is very large, as is the interior of the fridge. All the door shelving is simple and ample. The glass shelves are large and go all the way to the back and sides. There is only one light, it is in the fridge interior, an LED, but it is very bright, if somewhat glaring (a small price to pay for an excellent, inexpensive fridge). It cooled down within about 3 hours. It is colder than most fridges and I have had to keep it below the recommended temp - a good thing! The freezer has multiple small vents so it is easy to keep them unblocked. I put their freezer shelf on the top level and added my own inexpensive shelving to give me more storage space. After two months of use, I have no complaints and am amazed at how far Frigidaire has come in the 10 years since my previous fridge! For a top freezer fridge with lots of storage, and taking up very little physical space, it checks all the boxes! Best fridge I've ever owned.
