Frigidaire FFSC2323LS 22.6 Cu. Ft. Side By Side Stainless Steel Review

Usable Space

This side-by-side offers relatively straight forward, simple storage options. The majority of the available space is spread out over four shelves, the top three of which are adjustable. The fourth shelf is the top of a series of three pull-out drawers. The Frigidaire has a Chill Drawer with an adjustable temperature switch, a vegetable drawer below that with adjustable humidity settings, and a third drawer on the bottom that cannot be controlled in any way. In total, you can store up to 9.71 cubic feet worth of items in the Frigidaire's refrigerator compartment.

The Frigidaire's fridge door offers some surprisingly flexible and specialized storage options for a mid-level appliance. There is a standard dairy tray located at the top with three adjustable shelves set below it. Under these shelves are two bottle storage racks, and a fourth, smaller shelf at the very bottom. The bottle racks can be used as designed, for holding bottles or beverage cans, or can be used for improvised item storage. We included them in the overall storage tally for this reason, adding to the overall fridge storage total.

Since the top of the freezer is occupied solely by the ice maker, storage space isn't quite as expansive as it is in the fridge. With three wire shelves and a small pull-out drawer at the bottom, the Frigidaire offers 4.28 cubic feet of storage space.

With the bulk of the door also taken up by the dispenser portion of the ice maker, there's not a lot of storage space found here. There's a very small shelf above the ice dispenser, and three fixed ones near the bottom. They're not very tall or deep, but are certainly usable.

Below are the manufacturers own figures for capacity, and our own measurements for usable capacity. The manufacturers figures do not take account of the shelves, drawers and other removable features, but our measurements do account for the space these take up.
