The Frigidaire FFFU13F2VW is a 13 cubic foot frost-free upright freezer that uses the brand's signature Even Temp Cooling system to keep temperatures consistent from top to bottom and front to back. That matters more than people realize: many upright freezers have a noticeable warm spot near the door and a cold spot deep in the back, which can lead to freezer burn on some items and soft spots on others. Even Temp circulates air evenly so a stack of ground beef and a box of ice cream both stay at the temperature you set. The frost-free operation means no annual defrosting, and the SpaceWise organization system gives you five glass shelves that adjust to fit tall items, plus four clear door bins for bags of vegetables and frozen entrees. The digital temperature control on the outside of the door makes it easy to adjust without opening the cabinet, and the bright interior light helps you see everything inside. A good middle-of-the-road choice for a family of three to five looking for reliable frozen storage in a garage, basement, or pantry.
FreezersThis is the fourth upright freezer I have owned and it is by far the best. The Even Temp Cooling is a real feature, not marketing: my ground beef on the top shelf and my ice cream on the bottom shelf are the same temperature, which was never the case on any of my previous freezers. The frost-free operation has been flawless for over a year, no ice buildup anywhere. The LED lighting is bright and the digital controls on the outside of the door are easy to use. The shelves adjust to fit tall items like stacked casserole dishes, and the door bins hold gallon bags. Setup was easy, the cabinet feels well built, and it runs quietly. I have it in a heated garage in Reno and it has handled everything from subzero nights to 100-degree afternoons. If you are choosing an upright, this is the one.
I have owned three different upright freezers over the years and they all had a noticeable warm spot near the door and a cold spot deep in the back. The Frigidaire FFFU13F2VW with Even Temp Cooling is the first one where the temperature is genuinely consistent from top to bottom and front to back. That matters because I keep a lot of frozen seafood and meat, and freezer burn is the worst. Frost-free operation is great, no more defrost weekends. The five glass shelves adjust to fit tall items and the four clear door bins hold gallon bags without a fight. Digital temperature controls on the outside of the door are easy to use and the LED interior lighting is bright. Setup was simple and it has run quietly since day one. I have it in a conditioned pantry in Tampa. Highly recommend for anyone who has been frustrated by inconsistent freezer temperatures.
We downsized from a large upright to this 13 cu. ft. Frigidaire and it turned out to be the perfect size for our empty-nester household. We do not need to stockpile huge amounts anymore but we still want reliable frozen storage for leftovers, ice cream, and the occasional Costco run. The Even Temp Cooling system keeps temperatures consistent throughout the cabinet, which is a real upgrade over my old freezer that always had a warm spot near the door. Frost-free means no defrosting. The digital controls are intuitive and the LED lighting is bright enough to see every shelf. The door bins are well sized for gallon bags and frozen meals. My only small complaint is the door handle is a touch plastic-y but it works fine. For a couple or a small family this is the right size. Great freezer.
We are a family of four in Sacramento and this 13 cu. ft. Frigidaire upright is exactly the right size for our needs. We buy meat in bulk from a local rancher and we freeze a lot of leftovers from our weekend cooking sessions. The Even Temp Cooling means everything stays at a consistent temperature, no more freezer burn on the items near the door. The frost-free operation is wonderful and the LED lighting is bright enough to see every corner. The five glass shelves give us flexibility and the four door bins hold a lot. The digital temperature control is easy to read and adjust. My only small wish is that the door had a lock for when my curious nephew visits, but that is a minor thing. For a family of four this is the perfect size. Highly recommend.
Bought the Frigidaire FFFU13F2VW after reading reviews for weeks. It has lived up to expectations. The Even Temp Cooling really does keep temperatures consistent throughout the cabinet, which is a noticeable improvement over the freezer I had before. The frost-free operation is convenient and the LED lighting is bright. The shelves adjust easily and the door bins hold a lot. I gave it four stars instead of five because the door has a slight wiggle to it that makes me wonder about long-term durability, and the digital controls beep a little loudly when you adjust them. Both are minor. Otherwise this is a great upright freezer for a household that does not need industrial capacity. I have it in my finished basement in Cincinnati and it runs quietly. Good value for the price. Would buy again.
