The front of the Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF is mostly featureless stainless steel, with a fingerprint-resistant finish. The top left door houses the fridge's through-the-door ice and water dispenser, which has intuitive controls and dispenses with a gentle push.

Opening the top two doors reveals a standard array of door bins and spill-capture shelves. Below the crispers is a unique feature: two shallow bins called the Snack Zone, which allows food to be stored within a kid's easy reach.

The Custom-Flex Temp Zone (bottom left) has a dedicated control panel on its door, and inside this compartment are a series of shelves and a removable wine rack.

The freezer compartment has a few bins on its door, plus two sliding shelves above a large drawer for bulkier items.

While not flagship features, the QuattroGRQC2255BF also has some great extras. It comes equipped with internal air filters to help keep forgotten leftovers from affecting the quality of rest of your food. You can check on your air filter's status via the fridge's control panel.

Overall, the Quattro is just a well-designed fridge that feels great to use. The doors open smoothly and have a nice heft to them, drawers slide without hitching, and fixtures are easy to reposition.

What we like

It gives the best temperature performance we've ever seen

Let's start our appreciation with the Quattro’s core performance: temperature regulation.

This model boasts Frigidaire's TwinTech cooling system, which claims to regulate temperatures and air flow distribution. How did it perform on our tests? Nearly perfectly.

We really can't stress enough how amazingly consistent the temperatures were in this fridge. Even through defrost cycles and us opening the door every so often to simulate regular use, temperatures wavered by about half a degree or less.

Even the most consistent fridges typically have a degree or two of wiggle to their temperature readings. These are the steadiest temperatures we've ever seen and exactly what you strive for in a fridge.

When it comes to temperature differentials within the refrigerator compartment itself, meaning between the top and the bottom, we registered readings that are much smaller than what we normally see during testing—with the Quattro, 36.2°F on average to 38.8°F on average, respectively.

(The reason the top of your fridge is colder than the bottom is because cold air blasts out of a vent at the top of the fridge, then has to slowly circulate downward, warming as it goes.)

Thankfully, the Frigidaire Gallery GRQC2255BF kept this effect to a minimum: No matter where you store anything, it will still have a maximized shelf life.

For its part, the freezer compartment had near-perfect test results as well, though not as impeccably steady as the fridge temperatures. Again, the top shelf was about 2°F colder than the bottom shelf, but otherwise temperatures were remarkably consistent, bouncing between -1°F and -2°F.

The crispers lose humidity at a rate that's four times slower than other fridges

We love a good crisper here at Reviewed. While you may not think about them much, those plastic drawers can really affect the quality of any fresh fruits or vegetables stored inside.

The beauty of a properly working crisper is to let out some humidity so items don't rot, but to maintain just enough humidity to prevent wilting.

The GRQC2255BF's crispers thread this needle very well, losing humidity at a rate that's four times slower than other fridges.

Frigidaire's Crisp Seal technology helps remove any excess moisture and prevents dry air from entering. And the numbers don't lie: The system works well.

If you get this fridge, you can rest assured that all the goodies from your recent trip to the farmer's market will stay fresh and healthy longer than they would in most competing refrigerators.

Maximizing its organization system is useful and easy

The Frigidaire Gallery GRQC2255BF has more to offer than just precision performance. Its SpaceWise organization system offers you a lot of customization options. One of the door bins is expandable, and shelves can flip up to fit larger items underneath.

There's even a Snack Zone located towards the bottom of the fridge, at the perfect height for children to reach.

The doors have interesting storage innovations as well. The GRQC2255BF's Open Access Door design aims to solve a perennial problem for French-door fridges—needing to open both doors to access everything.

Here, the right-side door is significantly larger than the left-side door, allowing you access to more of your fridge while allowing it to retain more of its cold air.

One of the fridge’s four compartments allows you to customize its temperature

This fridge has a Custom-Flex Temp Zone, which is a compartment next to the freezer that can be set to a separate temperature—including temperatures that would be too warm for the rest of your fridge.

The ability to keep this area set to 55°F, coupled with the built-in wine rack makes it perfect for wine connoisseurs, sommeliers, and oenophiles alike.

If wine isn't your thing, this space can also be programmed to provide additional fridge or freezer space, whichever you need more.

What owners are saying

The Frigidaire GRQC2255BF is relatively new to the market at this time, so there aren't a ton of user reviews to draw conclusions from (fewer than 100 on most major sites). However, those that are posted are overwhelmingly positive.

While its score is sure to shift as more reviews come in, the GRQC2255BF is currently sitting at an impressive 4.7 out of 5 stars. Typically, even great fridges cap out at 4.4 or 4.5, so this margin, while slim, is notable (especially for a reason we'll get to in a minute).

Those who love the Quattro generally like the whole package. They like its available storage options and how customizable the bins and shelves are, how much space it has, how easy it is to reconfigure storage options, its overall aesthetic and build quality, and its Custom-Flex Temp Zone.

Users find it a joy to use, and so far it has exceeded most expectations.

Of course, these early reviews don't speak to the long-term durability or usability of the fridge, so we'll have to check back in later to see how these units fare over time.

The only complaints we can find are relatively minor and seem based on personal preferences.

For example, a few reviews mention that the Snack Zone is too small. Another review finds the available storage to be far too small, but based on our test data the GRQC2255BF is dead average for a French-door and actually on the larger side for a four-door model.

Many four-door models do have deceptively low overall storage space because a separate compartment with its own temperature requires a lot of insulation, but that isn’t the case here.

In fact, not only were complaints sparse, it appears as though the single 1-star review we could find was actually made in error. The review actually gushes about how much they love their new fridge, which leads us to believe the user made a mistake when inputting their rating.

If this is a mistake, that means the Quattro is averaging closer to a 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Warranty

The Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF is covered by an industry-standard one-year warranty for parts and labor.

Many manufacturers offer extended warranties, and some (like LG and Samsung) cover key components getting coverage for up to 10 years.

Given how expensive the GRQC2255BF is, we would like to see it backed by a longer warranty.

Should you buy the Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF?

Yes. This is the best fridge we've ever tested—literally

The Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF is really the complete package. From a well-crafted design to astonishingly near-perfect temperature performance to all its value-adding extras, there's simply little to dislike about this fridge.

Typically, we'd have a statement here about how the one downside is that this fridge isn't the most budget-friendly—with an MSRP nearing $4,000—but its stellar performance and overall high quality really sets it apart from the crowd.

Just about the only thing this fridge lacks is smart features, which is something many people don't necessarily want or need on a fridge in the first place.

If you're looking to invest in a fridge that can easily serve as the focal point of your kitchen, the Quattro is an excellent option.
