Our Verdict

Frigidaire FRFN2813AF

Maytag MRFF4236RZ

The Maytag MRFF4236RZ is a better overall fridge than the Frigidaire FRFN2813AF. The Maytag provides a more humid in-fridge environment to extend the lifespan of fresh produce stored inside, and temperatures inside the fridge cabinet are more consistent to boot. While its ice tray is considerably smaller than that of the Frigidaire, its ice maker is of the more robust ejector-style type, rather than the latter's twist-tray style unit. With all that being said, the Frigidaire does provide a considerable amount of extra room inside its fridge cabinet.
