The Frigidaire PLHT19WE is a nicely priced medium-size top-freezer refrigerator with an upscale look and an innovative design. For less than $1,000, you can own this stainless-steel front model, which has a through-the-door water dispenser that runs through an integral filter--quite a novelty on refrigerators with this configuration. Frigidaire's PLHT19WE has 20.6 cubic feet of room, with about 15.3 cubic feet of space in the main compartment and 5.3 cubic feet in the freezer. It's energy efficient as well as attractive; this fridge uses just 432 kWh of electricity each year, so it will cost only about $36 annually to run.

While the interior of this refrigerator is well lit and clean looking, it's also very functional without being overloaded with extra features that you might find extraneous. The interior of this top-freezer refrigerator has four half-width glass shelves, three of which slide out and all with a spillsaver feature. There's also a full-width glass shelf above the two humidity-controlled crispers. Frigidaire's PLHT19WE also has a clear snack drawer and a rack within the main compartment that can hold either wine or a few soft drink cans. On the door are four adjustable door bins, which can hold gallon-size containers, and a stationary bottom door rack, plus a clear dairy locker. The freezer has a full-width shelf, two fixed clear door bins, and a factory-installed automatic ice maker that runs through an integral filter to assure you of clean and clear ice. Frigidaire's PLHT19WE top-freezer refrigerator is available in stainless steel only.
