Our Review
The Forno FFRBI1805-33WHT 16 cu. ft. Side-by-Side is a 15.6 cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerator from Forno, sitting in the premium ($3,500+) range. With a 9.2 cu. ft. fresh-food compartment and 6.4 cu. ft. of freezer space, it's positioned for couples and small families.
What stands out
Build quality is the headline. Forno models use metal drawer rails, soft-close hinges, and consistent interior LED lighting that you don't get in the mainstream tier. Door seals are noticeably more substantial — a small detail that translates to better long-term temperature stability.
Layout and capacity
Exterior dimensions are 32.9" W × 70.1" H × 33.5" D — check your opening, especially the depth with handles extended. Total useable capacity is 15.6 cu. ft., split 9.2 fresh / 6.4 freezer.
Bottom line
For shoppers who plan to own a fridge for 15+ years and value build quality and design over headline features, the Forno FFRBI1805-33WHT 16 cu. ft. Side-by-Side earns the premium it asks for.
