The Frigidaire FRTE1835AV top-freezer refrigerator is a smart choice for households that want dependable performance, flexible storage, and energy savings in a clean, modern design. With a generous 18.17 cu. ft. total capacity and a practical 29.5-inch width, it fits comfortably into most kitchens while still offering plenty of room for weekly groceries, meal prep containers, and family favorites. Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully arranged storage that includes adjustable full-width glass shelves, spacious gallon door bins, and a dedicated deli drawer, making it easy to keep everything organized and within reach. Two clear humidity-controlled crisper drawers help keep fruits and vegetables fresher for longer, so you can cut down on food waste and enjoy produce at its best. One of the standout advantages of this model is its Garage Ready design, engineered to operate reliably in a wide range of ambient temperatures, so you can confidently place it in a garage or utility space without worrying about performance swings in hotter summers or cooler seasons. Another premium feature you don’t always see at this size and price point is the EvenTemp™ cooling system, which continuously circulates air to help maintain consistent temperatures throughout the fresh food and freezer compartments, reducing warm spots and unwanted freezing on items stored near the back. The ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient certification underscores its focus on energy savings, helping you manage utility costs while reducing environmental impact compared to many standard refrigerators. Everyday convenience is further enhanced by bright LED interior lighting, auto-close doors that help prevent energy loss if the door is left slightly ajar, and a smudge-resistant stainless steel look finish that resists fingerprints and wipes clean easily, keeping your kitchen looking polished with minimal effort. The reversible door swing and integrated handle design provide added flexibility for different kitchen layouts and a streamlined, built-in appearance. For those who want ice on demand, this refrigerator is ice-maker ready, allowing you to add an optional slim ice maker later without sacrificing valuable freezer space. Combining garage-ready engineering, advanced EvenTemp™ cooling, ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient performance, and a family-friendly interior layout, the Frigidaire FRTE1835AV delivers a feature set that stands out in the top-freezer category.
