I've narrowed down my decision to the Frigidaire Professional 32" column all fridge and all freezer combo and the Electrolux 19cu in all fridge and all freezer columns (EI33AF80WS and EI33AR80WS) . My question is that I'm having trouble finding information on the Electrolux regarding quality and reliability so I can compare it to the Frigidaire. Which has better reliability according to your data and service calls in the past and which option would you recommend?
