The Spillsafe glass shelves have a simple and elegant look, evoking the design of an ultra modern serving tray. There’s also a separate light source for the freezer below. It gradually illuminates by way of eight LED bulbs mounted inside the doors’ edges. The compartment’s lighting is soft and even. The interface is bright, clear and offers excellent contrast with white and blue lights that would be right at home on a piece of Tony Stark’s tech.

On the second and third shelves, where the icemaker is not occupying space, they fit four stacks wide. On the top shelf, next to the icemaker, the containers were able to fit two stacks of 10-cup’s worth of containers deep, and three stacks wide. The shelves offer over 18 square feet of stackable space, which we measured with a common brand of re-sealable containers in three-, five-, and seven-cup capacities. We measured the space at 18 inches deep when measured to tip of the shelves, 32 inches at its widest point, and 22 inches high when excluding the crisper and chilling drawers. The fresh food compartment’s interior offers spacious capacity, especially considering that it houses an icemaker in its counter-depth, French-doored confines. Otherwise, the external build is solid and does not rock or rattle. A quick brush with a wedding ring left a minor but visible scratch. We found that the overcoat does not offer any real protection against fingerprints and was prone to scratches. The finish is the ever-popular brushed stainless steel. The freezer utilizes a “self-closing” drawer and is easily sealed with a light nudge. It’s well out of the way when opening only the right side of the fridge but acts as an obstruction when opening only the left, preventing you from opening the left-hand crisper drawer without opening the right-hand exterior door as well. The doors and drawer all feel very stable and close with a satisfying “thud.” The flipper mullion, which is designed to act as a seal between the two doors when they’re both closed, is attached to the right-hand door. This is standard for counter-depth offerings and should fit into most kitchens nicely without oppressing the immediate surrounding area.

The refrigerator’s overall dimensions have it hemmed in at a relatively conservative 36 ¼ inches wide, 70 inches high, and 27 inches deep, plus an extra 2 ¾ inches for the handles. A stately control panel on the left-hand door, which glows with a futuristic and stylish interface, punctuates the steel face. The familiar facade of the Electrolux French door refrigerator offers access to the main fresh food compartment through the upper left and right doors and to the freezer through a sliding drawer that occupies the lowermost third of the fridge’s total volume. At $4,149, does Electrolux’s high-end refrigerator offering make the grade, or are you better off moving down the line to the next indistinguishable steel box? Exterior


Does the model boast adaptable shelving? How durable is the exterior finish? Is the control panel simple and intuitive or clunky and frustrating? These variables can make the difference between a trusted appliance that will last for years and buyer’s remorse before the warranty is up. Aside from more obvious characteristics like external finish or configuration, they’re largely similar in appearance and function, but that’s where the more elegant nuances come in to play. When shopping for a refrigerator, you could be forgiven for assuming that one is very much like the other.
