Frigidaire EFR331 Black
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Frigidaire EFR331 is a 3.2 cu ft retro-style compact refrigerator praised for its Energy Star efficiency, reversible door, and dry-erase board. Its limited freezer space and manual defrost requirement constrain its utility for larger households. Ideal for dorms, offices, or RVs needing supplemental cooling.
BLACK+DECKER's 2.5 cu ft Energy Star-rated refrigerator delivers efficient cooling with a reversible door and adjustable thermostat. Manual defrost and a modest freezer limit long-term frozen storage. Perfect for dorm rooms, RVs, or small apartments where energy savings matter.
