The front of the Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF is mostly featureless stainless steel, with a fingerprint-resistant finish. The top left door houses the fridge's through-the-door ice and water dispenser, which has intuitive controls and dispenses with a gentle push.

Opening the top two doors reveals a standard array of door bins and spill-capture shelves. Below the crispers is a unique feature: two shallow bins called the Snack Zone, which allows food to be stored within a kid's easy reach.

The Custom-Flex Temp Zone (bottom left) has a dedicated control panel on its door, and inside this compartment are a series of shelves and a removable wine rack.

The freezer compartment has a few bins on its door, plus two sliding shelves above a large drawer for bulkier items.

While not flagship features, the Quattro GRQC2255BF also has some great extras. It comes equipped with internal air filters to help keep forgotten leftovers from affecting the quality of rest of your food. You can check on your air filter's status via the fridge's control panel.

Overall, the Quattro is just a well-designed fridge that feels great to use. The doors open smoothly and have a nice heft to them, drawers slide without hitching, and fixtures are easy to reposition.

How we test refrigerators

Like hundreds of appliances before it, we tested the Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF at our former lab facility in Cambridge, MA. In fact, we've been testing all types of fridges since 2012, including top-freezers, bottom-freezers, side-by-sides, and French doors.

The Quattro GRQC2255BF underwent a standardized testing process that examined each element of its performance and feature set, from using sensors to ensure its temperature consistency to manually measuring all the available storage space. Read more about how we test refrigerators.

What we like

It gives the best temperature performance we've ever seen

Let's start our appreciation with the Quattro’s core performance: temperature regulation.

This model boasts Frigidaire's TwinTech cooling system, which claims to regulate temperatures and air flow distribution. How did it perform on our tests? Nearly perfectly.

We really can't stress enough how amazingly consistent the temperatures were in this fridge. Even through defrost cycles and us opening the door every so often to simulate regular use, temperatures wavered by about half a degree or less.

Even the most consistent fridges typically have a degree or two of wiggle to their temperature readings. These are the steadiest temperatures we've ever seen and exactly what you strive for in a fridge.

When it comes to temperature differentials within the refrigerator compartment itself, meaning between the top and the bottom, we registered readings that are much smaller than what we normally see during testing—with the Quattro, 36.2°F on average to 38.8°F on average, respectively.

(The reason the top of your fridge is colder than the bottom is because cold air blasts out of a vent at the top of the fridge, then has to slowly circulate downward, warming as it goes.)

Thankfully, the Frigidaire Gallery GRQC2255BF kept this effect to a minimum: No matter where you store anything, it will still have a maximized shelf life.

For its part, the freezer compartment had near-perfect test results as well, though not as impeccably steady as the fridge temperatures. Again, the top shelf was about 2°F colder than the bottom shelf, but otherwise temperatures were remarkably consistent, bouncing between -1°F and -2°F.

The crispers lose humidity at a rate that's four times slower than other fridges

We love a good crisper here at Reviewed. While you may not think about them much, those plastic drawers can really affect the quality of any fresh fruits or vegetables stored inside.

The beauty of a properly working crisper is to let out some humidity so items don't rot, but to maintain just enough humidity to prevent wilting.

The GRQC2255BF's crispers thread this needle very well, losing humidity at a rate that's four times slower than other fridges.

Frigidaire's Crisp Seal technology helps remove any excess moisture and prevents dry air from entering. And the numbers don't lie: The system works well.

If you get this fridge, you can rest assured that all the goodies from your recent trip to the farmer's market will stay fresh and healthy longer than they would in most competing refrigerators.

Maximizing its organization system is useful and easy

The Frigidaire Gallery GRQC2255BF has more to offer than just precision performance. Its SpaceWise organization system offers a lot of customization options. One of the door bins is expandable, and shelves can flip up to fit larger items underneath.

There's even a Snack Zone located towards the bottom of the fridge, at the perfect height for children to reach.

The doors have interesting storage innovations as well. The GRQC2255BF's Open Access Door design aims to solve a perennial problem for French-door fridges—needing to open both doors to access everything.

Here, the right-side door is significantly larger than the left-side door, allowing you access to more of your fridge while allowing it to retain more of its cold air.

One of the fridge’s four compartments allows you to customize its temperature

This fridge has a Custom-Flex Temp Zone, which is a compartment next to the freezer that can be set to a separate temperature—including temperatures that would be too warm for the rest of your fridge.

The ability to keep this area set to 55°F, coupled with the built-in wine rack makes it perfect for wine connoisseurs, sommeliers, and oenophiles alike.

If wine isn't your thing, this space can also be programmed to provide additional fridge or freezer space, whichever you need more.

Many four-door models do have deceptively low overall storage space because a separate compartment with its own temperature requires a lot of insulation, but that isn’t the case here.

What we don’t like

It has a short warranty

The Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF is covered by an industry-standard one-year warranty for parts and labor. Given the popularity of Frigidaire and the GRQC2255BF, we would like to see it backed by a longer warranty similar to those of brands like LG and Samsung.

The LG warranty includes one year of parts and labor, a separate five-year warranty on the compressor and a 10-year warranty on the linear inverter compressor parts. Samsung’s warranty goes above and beyond the 10-year commitment—models with a digital inverter compressor are covered for 20 years for the compressor part.

Carbon footprint for the Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF

Energy efficiency

When it comes to energy consumption, the Frigidaire GRQC2255BF uses a relatively energy-efficient 669 kWh annually. In fact, it is Energy Star Certified.

Materials used

Frigidaire specifies the refrigerant used in the Quattro GRQC2255BF is R-600a, which is a low-GWP (global-warming-potential) hydrocarbon refrigerant—much lower impact than older CFC/HCFC/HFC refrigerants. By 2023, 97% of Frigidair's products with refrigerants had switched to gases with low GWP.

Electrolux, the parent company of Frigidaire, has also made a goal to use 35% recycled steel and plastic by weight in its products by 2030 in an effort to further its sustainability practices.

What owners are saying

The Frigidaire GRQC2255BF gets stellar consumer reviews with a 4.7-star average across Lowe’s, The Home Depot, and AJ Madison. Typically, even great fridges cap out at 4.4 or 4.5, so this margin, while slim, is notable (especially for a reason we'll get to in a minute).

There were only a handful of ratings when we initially reviewed this fridge three years ago, yet the rating has remained this high since the early days of its release. While the early reviews don't speak to the long-term durability or usability, we were pleased to check back and see that the positive rating has held over time.

Those who love the Quattro generally like the whole package. They like its available storage options and how customizable the bins and shelves are, how much space it has, how easy it is to reconfigure storage options, its overall aesthetic and build quality, and its Custom-Flex Temp Zone.

Users find it a joy to use, and it has exceeded most expectations. The majority of complaints center around receiving units with issues that immediately needed repair, which is certainly a frustrating experience.

A few reviews take issue with the storage space and configuration, but based on our test data the GRQC2255BF is dead average for a French-door and actually on the larger side for a four-door model.

Should you buy the Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF?

Yes. This is one of the best fridge we've ever tested

The Frigidaire Gallery Quattro GRQC2255BF is really the complete package. From a well-crafted design to astonishingly near-perfect temperature performance to all its value-adding extras, there's simply little to dislike about this fridge.

When we originally reviewed this fridge it cost almost $4,000 and we still thought it was worth the investment. At its current price, it's one of the best value propositions in the space.

Just about the only thing this fridge lacks is smart features, which is something many people don't necessarily want or need on a fridge in the first place. The only other drawback is the quad styling, which some can find limiting depending on your freezer space needs.

If you're looking to invest in a stylish and temperature-stable quad-door fridge, the Quattro is one of the best options currently available.
