Frigidaire GHSC39ETH

Date Published: 9/30/08

Frigidaire's GHSC39ETH counter-depth refrigerator is a feature-rich medium-capacity refrigerator in a side-by-side configuration. Its relatively low price makes it an outstanding value for refrigerators of this type.

We love the special features and extras that are part of the GHSC39ETH, and all of this unit's controls and filters are located where they can be easily changed and examined.

The GHSC39ETH sports 14.06 cubic feet of space in its fresh foods area and 8.51 cubic feet of space in its freezer compartment. This unit is also very energy-efficient, using just 584 kWh of electricity annually, so it will cost you about $61 to operate this fridge for an entire year.

The door of the Frigidaire GHSC39ETH has two fixed shelves, two adjustable clear door bins and a clear dairy compartment. There's also a two-level can rack that can hold up to six cans of your favorite beverage. Within the main compartment are two adjustable glass shelves with a spill-saver feature, plus an additional glass shelf that can move up or down with the turn of a handle, even when loaded with items. There are two humidity-controlled crisper drawers, one of which features a vertical divider, plus a temperature-controlled meat drawer that uses frozen air from the freezer to chill meats down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The freezer is equally well featured; you'll find two tilt-out door baskets, three shelves and three storage baskets.

The GHSC39ETH comes with a through-the-door ice and water delivery system that operates through an integral filter. There is an express ice feature that delivers up to eight pounds of ice in a 24-hour period. The ice and water delivery system is controlled by seven control buttons, which are quite easy to use.

This model uses a transitional lighting system, so when you open the door, the light comes on gradually, adapting to the room lighting. This refrigerator also has a fan-forced air filter system that sends air through a carbon and baking soda filter, which ensures that the air inside the GHSC39ETH is clean, clear and odor-free. Filters are conveniently located in the top right of the fresh foods cabinet.

The GHSC39ETH comes in a choice of white, black and stainless steel. This model also can accommodate custom panels to make the refrigerator fit in seamlessly with the décor of your kitchen.

For a quality, medium-sized counter depth refrigerator in a side-by-side configuration, the Frigidaire GHSC39ETH is an excellent choice.


Pros: Loaded with must-have features, internal air filter, quality feel throughout
Cons: Takes up a lot of height because of the cabinet depth

Warranty
