About - Frigidaire Gallery GLFH17F8H[W]
The Frigidaire Gallery GLFH17F8H[W] is part of the freezer test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, freezer models like the Gallery GLFH17F8H[W] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Temperature performance: Temperature performance combines results of several tests that measured how closely the manufacturer's recommended settings matched the ideal temperature at 0 degrees Fahrenheit and how well a model kept optimum temperatures in all parts of the freezer despite constant changes in room temperature ranging from 55 degrees Fahrenheit to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Energy efficiency: Energy efficiency reflects energy use for the usable volume (our measurement) based on average energy costs. Noise: Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.

Comment:

At about 2 - 2.5 yrs, the temp control display panel went completely dead. Thankfully the freezer still worked but now at 5.5 yrs it is completely dying. What a piece of junk.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
