The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF is a premium 36-inch counter-depth French-door refrigerator. As part of Frigidaire's more upmarket Gallery line, it's equipped with a number of extra niceties compared to lower-end models, including an additional climate-controlled drawer that can be used for everything between chilling wine and freezing leftovers. There's also a through-door water and ice dispenser, complete with a digital control panel for setting fridge and freezer temperatures.
We've tested over 35 refrigerators. We purchase ourselves each unit independently from major retailers, just like you, to keep our reviews free of brand influence. Each refrigerator undergoes the same tests to measure objective metrics such as temperature uniformity, ice making, produce preservation, parts availability, and actual storage capacity, so you can easily compare results.
Our Verdict
The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF is a very good choice for everyday use. As you'd expect from a counter-depth model, capacity isn't a strong point, with somewhat shallow fridge and freezer cabinets that can make it a challenge to fit multiple large trays or larger boxed items in either compartment. The in-fridge ice maker also reduces available space. That said, the additional temperature-controlled drawer provides a bit of flexibility for storage. This fridge also delivers impressive overall performance, with excellent temperature consistency across both cabinets. It also does a great job of keeping fresh produce crisp, thanks to its well-sealing crisper drawers.
Great produce preservation performance inside crisper drawers.
Exceptionally consistent freezer temperatures.
Temperature consistency across fridge shelves is very high.
Flexible storage features like split-shelving and extendable door bins.
Short freezer compartment.
Fridge compartment is shallow.
In-fridge ice maker takes up room inside fridge.
Middle and upper refrigerator door bins trend slightly warmer than setpoint.
The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF provides impressive produce preservation performance. Its crisper drawers seal shut pretty tightly, minimizing moisture loss from fresh food stored inside. As a result, you can expect lettuce, spinach, and fresh herbs to keep their snap for well over a week. That said, the fridge cabinet itself is somewhat low in humidity, which is rare for a dual-evaporator fridge such as this, and you can expect produce to begin wilting much faster if stored outside those crisper drawers.
Great produce preservation performance inside crisper drawers.
The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF's refrigerator capacity is alright, but not spectacular. Since this is a counter-depth model, the fridge cabinet is shallow, which can make it challenging to fit bigger trays or casserole dishes. The ice maker also takes up quite a bit of room along the top half of the compartment. On the upside, there's split shelving, albeit with relatively few alternative positions, and extendable door bins for squeezing in drinks. The GRMC2273CF's climate-controlled Custom-Flex Temp Drawer can be used to supplement either fridge or freezer space.

The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF has only okay freezer capacity. As with the fridge cabinet, the freezer is shallow, and if you're using the drawer above as extra fridge capacity, you're also losing out on vertical space compared to other counter-depth units of a similar size. You might find it challenging to fit especially large boxed items or bulk-sized goods on either the upper shelf or lower bins. With all that said, the freezer cabinet itself has no inconvenient protrusions or bump-outs to get in the way.

The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF's overall temperature uniformity performance is excellent. The refrigerator shelves are all within a few degrees of each other, so you can place temperature-sensitive items like milk or yogurt wherever it's most practical. That said, the middle and upper door bins do trend a little bit warmer, so you should mainly use those areas for long-term chilling of more shelf-stable goods. Meanwhile, the freezer is exceptionally consistent in terms of temperature.

Middle and upper refrigerator door bins trend slightly warmer than setpoint.
The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF performs only adequately when it comes to making ice. Within a day, the ice maker can produce just enough ice for drinks at a four or possibly five-person meal, but it will run out pretty quickly. Similarly, the ice bucket's max capacity of under five pounds won't last long for bigger get-togethers, though it's fine for smaller crowds. You're better off filling an external container with ice and keeping it in the freezer if you're expecting a lot of company.
Ice production rate is sufficient for smaller get-togethers.
Max ice bucket capacity is insufficient for serving big crowds.

Popular Refrigerator Comparisons
The Frigidaire GRMC2273CF is a high-end counter-depth French-door refrigerator. It's a very solid performer in most ways, with well-sealing crisper drawers that ensure good produce preservation, and impressive overall temperature consistency, except for the slightly warmer-than-baseline door bins in the refrigerator cabinet. It's from a brand with a robust service network, which also provides a consistent supply of spare parts. It isn't necessarily perfect, however: alternatives like the Samsung Bespoke RF24BB6600QL offer more refrigerator capacity (admittedly at the cost of freezer room), while the LG LRFLC2706S has more freezer space. If you have a higher max budget, it's worth considering the Bosch 800 Series B36CT80SNS too. It's our benchmark for counter-depth French-door models, and it provides even better overall performance than the Frigidaire, all the while featuring a more sophisticated dual-compressor/dual-evaporator cooling system as well as a less failure-prone in-freezer ice maker.

Unsurprisingly, given the gulf in price between units, the Bosch 800 Series B36CT80SNS is a better counter-depth 36-inch French-door unit than the Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF. The Bosch's dual-compressor cooling system results in slightly better temperature consistency, and produce will last even longer than it would in the Frigidaire, especially if it's left outside the crisper drawers. Beyond that, the Bosch also has slightly more room in its fridge and freezer cabinets. The Bosch's ice maker is installed in the freezer and its water dispenser in the fridge, drastically reducing potential failure points compared to the Frigidaire's in-fridge ice maker and through-door dispenser. The Bosch runs quieter too.
The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF and Samsung Bespoke RF24BB6600QL are both counter-depth 36-inch French-door units with different strengths. Even discounting the Frigidaire's climate-controlled drawer, it offers more freezer space than the Samsung. It also pulls ahead in terms of temperature consistency performance in both its fridge and freezer cabinets. Frigidaire's network of authorized service providers has a longer reach than that of Samsung, and spare part availability for the GRMC2273CF is notably more consistent than it is for the RF24BB6600QL. With that being said, the Samsung has more fridge space, partially as a result of its in-door Beverage Center freeing up space within the fridge cabinet. The Samsung also features twin ice makers in the freezer, a less failure-prone installation location for those systems.
The LG LRFLC2706S and Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF are both counter-depth 36" French-door refrigerators, but are worth considering for different reasons. The LG is the one you want if storage capacity is your main concern. Its Counter-Depth MAX design results in a lot more interior room within both the fridge and freezer, without any significant concessions to its exterior footprint. If you think you'll be making ice frequently, the LG is also the better option, with an in-freezer system that presents fewer failure points, all the while having a larger tray and a faster production rate. However, the Frigidaire is the better performer, with a dual-evaporator design that keeps produce fresher for longer. Parts supply is also generally more consistent for the Frigidaire, though both brands have authorized service networks with similar reach.
The Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CF is a stronger-performing fridge than the LG LF24Z6530S. The Frigidaire's dual-evaporator cooling system results in notably superior produce preservation performance, and temperatures in the fridge and freezer are more consistent than they are in the LG. Part availability is also more reliable than it is with the LG, and Frigidaire's network of authorized service providers has a longer reach: all the better if something does go wrong with your fridge. That said, the LG has the advantage when it comes to space, with its lower-profile in-door ice maker taking up less room than the Frigidaire's bulkier setup. While the Frigidaire's additional temperature-controlled drawer can help keep your groceries organized, it results in a shorter overall freezer compartment.
