I put the Electrolux twins in my new build kitchen. Have used them for 5 months and really like them. My family's first reaction to them was that they are HUGE...need a good size kitchen for them as they do take up a lot of space. I really like them...tons of room and good organization.

although the smudge proof stainless definately smudges...there are always fingerprints around the handle. Not a great pic but at least you can see them installed

I didn't think the electrolux had the smudge proof. I thought it was just the frigidaire that had smudge proof. They do look nice. Did you get to compare your unit to the frigidaire version or the electrolux icon version?

Which outside stainless steel finish did you like better....the frigidaire or electrolux? And is the only difference between the electrolux and electrolux icon the long handles?

I've got the icon pair in order and can't wait to use them in a couple of months (new build). I did see the Frigidaire twins in person and did not like them at all. They seemed very cheap to me, and the smudge proof finish was quite a but darker than regular stainless, making matching with other appliances a problem.

Michelle, Did you get to see the regular electrolux set in comparison to the icon set? Do you know if the only difference is the long handles?

I don't have the twins but I have a Frigidaire french door fridge that I am passionate about...I hate it. It's only a year old and we've had so much trouble with the ice maker (slow to make ice, leaky water feed). Plus it is the loudest fridge of all time - sometimes I swear that it is haunted. I think the term "frigidaire" is french for disembodied souls. And, yeah..yeah I know the compressor runs constantly in the new models and yadda yadda. But I'm telling you this thing is not right. I'd caution you against Fridgidaire.

I'm definitely leaning towards the electrolux or electrolux icon units definitely. I'm wondering whether the icon version is worth the extra dollars.

I didn't compare those brands, but simply got the cheapest pair of twins that fit my requirements: Figidaire. I love them! Its been 3 years now. It's unbelievable how long fruits, even strawberries, stay fresh. The handles look pristine when I'm the only one in the kitchen, but look disgusting when my kids use it. (Honestly, some people's kids...) So there's always a grey microfiber cloth on the handle for quick wipe-ups.

I also have the Frigidaire all-fridge. I love it so much that I moved it half way across the country when we moved. It keeps things so fresh and I love that I can see everything!

I have the Frigidaire Twins and they have been perfect for 8 years. Yes they are louder than I would like but they do keep the food perfectly fresh and are holding up very well inside...look new as I wipe them out each week before I go shopping. They were $1500 for the pair including the trim out pieces.

Wow, looks like great reviews for both brands of the all fridge sets.
