We've been using our Electrolux Icon all-fridges (2) and all-freezer for a year now. They were delivered, I think in Nov or Dec of 07, so they're not as new as you're asking about. We have no problems with their temps.

We have been using the Frigidaire twins for about 6 months. So far so good. No problems. Both fridge and freezer keep temperatures well, food stays fresh. No complaints so far.

Read your warranty. Frigidaire warranties at least some of their freezers' sealed systems (compressor and other refrigerant carrying components) for five years.

Yeah, I have read the warranty and haggled with the service department. The twins only have a limited one year warranty the covers pretty much everything, but only one year from delivery.

For what it's worth, we've had more problems with Frigidaire refrigerators in the last two years than with all other appliances combined. Their ranges and microwaves are good products, but their reefers and dishwashers are very poor quality. Years ago, when they were part of GM, they were an awesome product. Too many people still remember (or still have) those products. It's not the same today.

The Electrolux Icon is an awesome product. The plain Electrolux line is all over the place. Some of it is just rebadged Frigidaire, some of it is rebadged Icon, some is unique to the Electrolux line.

I have to agree. We have a Kenmore upright freezer whose insulation shrank, sucking the interior sides with it. As a result, a couple of the shelves fell down. We traced the Sears part number to Gibson, which is owned by Electrolux and apparently assigned to their Frigidaire group.

After being burned on that freezer, we won't buy anything made by Electrolux.

I like the "twins" but worry about their total width. Do you have photos of them in your kitchens?

Thanks in advance.

here's some photos of our twins, we have the trim kit that makes them look built in:

Thanks for posting. Beautiful kitchen! What is the reaction to the unit form visitors?

muddypond, which Kenmore do you have? We're thinking of getting a small one (and the matching fridge).

Thanks!

I have received a lot of compliments on them. Most people think it's one large unit. They have no idea they are separate units unless I tell them. They also think they're built in. Once you live with them for a while, they don't seem that large at all. In fact, because they're counter depth, they're not as big inside as most people think.

mgmarch,

Hear is a picture of our twins. You can go on their website and get the exact dimensions for the. Sears has the exact same units sold as Kenmore.

That post did not read like I typed it. Maybe my keyboard battery is getting low.
