[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had an AMANA refrigerator for many years and were very happy with it - so we replaced it with our new AMANA. We like it even more.
It's been about a month now, and overall we am happy with the purchase. The biggest reason we bought this bottom type freezer was because of my back issues. Having the refrigerator items at the top keeps me from bending over all the time to see what's in the refrigerator. The bottom basket in the freezer could have been enclosed instead of a wire rack which allows cold air to escape more freely when opening the freezer door, but the door isn't open for long period of time. (Maybe there is reason for the wire rack that I am not aware of.) In reality, I think we actually lost some freezer space because of the pull out racks, but we have a small freezer in the back of the house. When opening the door to the freezer one has to make sure to pull from the middle of the handle or use 2 hands equally spaced or the door will not pull out as evenly or smoothly which could lead to issues with the door. (Due to the design of bottom freezers such as this I don't think there is any way this could be avoided.) We have the refrigerator and freezer set to #5, and I've checked the temps with a gauge. The refrigerator temp fluctuates from 32 - 40 degrees with the gauge on the middle rack...I am a little surprised with the fluctuation. The freezer maintains a temperature of zero or slightly below. The shelves in the door area are sturdy; it was a concern because of what I've read about cheaper makes and models on the market. The only other thing is that if you put the butter shelf on the top, you actually lose a little space because the shelf will not go all the way up to the top which leaves about 2.5" of unused space (my wife likes it at the top so we leave it there). Overall, this is a well built unit and I would recommend purchasing this. I base this on lots of research and looking at different makes and models on the market.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to wait a while till I gave my review. I thought I would see if I liked my new refrigerator as much as thought I would. I was not disappointed ! The shelves are easy to move and clean. The freezer is amazing ! I wasn't sure how much space I would have, it held all the food from my old freezer and more. I am very happy so far. Thanks Amanda !
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:No
Stays cold, very quiet, and uses little power. The only negative is that the seals are so tight it is a little hard to open both doors and still are after 3 years, but you get used to it. I'd rather have it that way versus too loose seals and wasting energy or not staying cool.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we purchased this it didn't look that big but got it home and wow It has so much storage space. There is room for everything we had in our old frig and there is still room, Also, it rums so quite you don't even know it's running. GREAT product Thank you Amana my wife is vary happy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Amana refrigerator. It is roomy and versitile. After having my previous Amana for 24 years, I can only say that the styling has improved.
