Top-Freezer Choices

Frigidaire model FFHT1725LS ranks among the company's top-freezer designs, offering 16.5 cubic feet of capacity. The government's Energy Star program says this model will use 368 kilowatt hours of electricity annually, costing you about $39 to operate. The Frigidaire FFTR1817LB presents a larger option, with 18.2 cubic feet of space. Expect to spend $51 a year to provide the 479 kilowatt hours it consumes. One of the manufacturer's smallest top-freezer offerings is the FFPT10F0KW, a 9.9-cubic-foot model. You'll spend about $41 a year to run this unit, which needs 386 kilowatt hours every 12 months.
Side-by-Side Designs
-
Frigidaire offers two primary sizes of side-by-side refrigerators. Because they are larger than the top-freezer models and feature ice makers and dispensers, you can expect them to consume more electricity than those traditional-style appliances. Frigidaire's 22.6-cubic-foot options in the side-by-side group include the FFHS2311LQ. It costs around $58 a year to provide the 549 kilowatt hours this refrigerator consumes. The company's 26-cubic-foot models include the FGUS2642LF. It requires 509 kilowatt hours annually at an estimated cost of $54.

With an annual operating cost of $60, this appliance uses 564 kilowatt hours of electricity.
Specialty Refrigerators

Not all of Frigidaire's refrigerators offer the typical refrigerator-freezer combination found in most American kitchens. Some units, such as the FRU17G4JW, offer refrigeration space only. This appliance holds 17 cubic feet of food, using 438 kilowatt hours a year at a cost of $47. Frigidaire also sells wine refrigerators, including the FFWC42F5LS, a model with a 42-bottle capacity.
