It's a fantastic feature, too, because it keeps your fridge from overflowing and prevents dripping.

This feature makes it easy to access food on the go, but we were not convinced that it provides any additional convenience.

The fridge is equipped with a Custom Flex Temp drawer which allows you to set the temperature independently from the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This means it can be used as a storage space for cold drinks, meat/seafood as well as deli/snacks, chilled wine or deli. It's a great feature, but we noticed that the drawer is generally cooler than the rest the fridge, which can be somewhat frustrating for those who want a specific setting.
In our tests of performance, the FGHC2331PF was extremely warm in nearly every part of its interior (the orange spots in the heat map above). This is a major setback considering that it's priced lower than competitors from Electrolux and Electrolux, which did better in this test and has a good reputation for durability and quality.
