[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This my 2nd Amana refrigerator. First 1 lasted 14 years. This 1 has the freezer on the bottom. We like it a lot! It is doing a good job.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fridge was delivered on time by polite young men who had to finagle it into my apartment (narrow doorways). Plugged it in and waited the required amount of time before loading it up with food. Runs great, no issues. Only problem I would say it has is that I should have gotten a bigger model, ha ha. Works so great I've been buying more food! Love the freezer on the bottom, so much better that a small freezer on the top like we had before.

I bought a refrigerator with a bottom freezer and I like that feature. However I failed to consider the fact that I am only 4'10". The result is that the top shelf can be used only to store things in the very front. Also the placement of the cheese and meat drawer is such that I cannot see in over the top. Thankfully the drawer is see through but it is still inconvenient to not be able to pull the drawer out and see everything that is I it. Other than that, I have no complaint and do like the bottom freezer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this because I love the ease of getting food out of the top. Freezer on the bottom is very easy to open and close. Just the right amount of space for frozen food. Very stylish and fits well in our kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Amana refrigerator has so much room inside we can not fill it. It runs quietly as our kitchen and living room are very close. This is my third Amana, I had to wait a extra two weeks because of a back order, it was well worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

I had to replace my refrig that I had for over 30 years. this is actually a little bigger in cubic feet than it was but seems to not have as much room. especially in the freezer, mine was also a bottom freezer. It had a swing door that had a small built in shelf in the door which I could use for my ice cube trays and holder, but in this one I have to use up half of the top freezer bin for them plus it is a nuisance to always needing to pull out the freezer then reach in & pull out the top bin. Preferred the old style with a actual shelf. the bottom bin is difficult to put much in it without hanging up on the upper bin. The vegetable bins are a lot smaller (don't go very deep) plus even using the humidity control, they don't keep my stuff as fresh. Also don't like all the shelves being glass. Wish at least 1 was metal to put warm items on. the meat draw is also smaller. also it had a very ugly open spot on top of door corner, poor craftsmanship. the insulation was showing. I do like having the refrig shelves movable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
