Thank you for coming along with me as I’ve tested out the new Gallery Collection from Frigidaire. Remember that you can also win Frigidaire appliances and earn a $1 donation for Save the Children by pledging to Make Time for Change.

Coming soon: Unfortunately I can’t giveaway a brand new kitchen here on my blog–but watch in the next couple of days for a chance to win a play kitchen for your kids!

My thoughts about the Frigidaire appliances:

These are very stylish appliances with lots of room and neat features for keeping even me relatively organized.  The refrigerator is particularly well designed so that I don’t have to hunt around for ingredients (which in the past often resulted in me dropping and spilling or breaking things).  I do wish the water dispenser on the door was a little deeper and that the ice dispenser was calibrated a little better–but with some practice I can get ice and water with one hand (holding the baby with the other).

The pedestal drawers under the washer and dryer are also great for storage if you have limited space.

There are also a number of one-touch options that make it easy to set the appliances.  Although I only use a few of these buttons, it is nice to have them.  I appreciate the quick pre-heat on the oven because I don’t have to wait any longer than necessary for fresh-baked cookie.

Speaking of the oven/range, I really like the concentric circles on the cook top–it means that I can use the burners for different size pots and pans and still cook evenly without heating more of the surface than necessary.

There are a number of energy and time-saving efficiency features that I am really enjoying.  The dishwasher gets dishes very clean and cuts down on my hand-washing.  Also, the dryer takes approximately as long as the washer if you use a comparable cycle–which means I don’t have a back-up of loads on a big laundry day…which, face it, with kids that’s almost every day!

Overall, I have been really pleased with the look, performance, and features of the Frigidaire appliances.

Come take a tour through my new kitchen with me?  I’d love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you have about the appliances!
