Frigidaire – In The Heat It Has Power Plus

(Pardon the awful picture. I have a terrible time taking pictures in my kitchen due to the lighting.)

Summer is here. This past week we’ve had temperatures as high as 104. This is the kind of weather that I hate to go grocery shopping in, because my food always starts to get warm and melt before I’m home. We all know it takes longer to freeze a lot of things than just one or two. With my last fridge there were times I bought ice cream in the summer and after six hours in the freezer it was still soft and not as cold as it should be. This weekend was the first time I got to use a feature on my Frigidaire 22.6 Cu. Ft. Counter-Depth Professional Refrigerator that I was very curious about – Power Plus Freeze. Power Plus Freeze activates a faster rate for freezing food quickly. The freezer runs colder for 12 hours to achieve -6 degrees Farenheit. This feature is great in the summer, but also in the winter if you stock your freezer full of your favorite foods.

You may recall that the Frigidaire has a built in ice maker. It rocks. (Rocks,  as in on the rocks – get it?) It can dispense both crushed and cubed ice. Plus, the ice is filtered! The ice maker produces eight cubes every 75 to 90 minutes under normal circumstances. We’ve never run out of ice. On the panel is a setting called Power Plus Ice. This feature increases ice production, providing up to 37 percent more ice in a 24 hour period. Yesterday was the first time that we’ve entertained and needed a lot of ice on a really hot and humid day. I wasn’t sure how my Frigidaire would handle the challenge.

Yesterday we had guests over from 2 pm until 9 pm for a little party. It was a smoothie party so we had lots of beverages. Those that weren’t drinking smoothies were drinking juice, water and soda – all on ice. With our old fridge, whenever we entertained we had to buy bagged ice. That’s because we just couldn’t make ice fast enough in the ice cube trays. Even when the ice machine worked it took a long time to make the ice. The Frigidaire kept up beautifully. I’m so thrilled to say there was no challenge at all, the Frigidaire surpassed my expectations in the ice making department.

It’s a beautiful thing to open your freezer and always see this when you need ice, don’t you agree?
