Knew in store I would love refrig. on top & I do!! Took a few days to get use to freezer but love it!! Easy open & close and the light is a bonus!! Would recommend it to anyone!!
My Amana refrigerator was a replacement for a broken down refrigerator that was part of my home purchase. I have a large family and the frig is huge, roomy, and usually filled to the max. The door itself holds every condiment imaginable plus juices by the gallons!!! The adjustable shelves are a delight, especially when I want to put my crock pot or giant lunchpail inside. The glass shelves allow me visibility from many angles. If it is in my frig, I can find it!! Three storage drawers help me keep my meats, veggies, and cheeses all seperate. The freezer is larger than a top freezer. The baskets always slide easily. I have the option of an ice maker, but haven't explored it due to our ice cream fetish. The exterior is easy to wipe clean, after I remove the grandkids artwork. I have never experienced an Amana product until now. I am completely content with every aspect of my refrigerator.
Exceptionally versatile for cold food organization

Switching from a top freezer to a bottom freezer has added more benefits than I had expected. The fridge sections on top provide the clearest viewing of food on hand, easily organized to suit anyone's preference; items don't get lost as they sometimes did in lower realms. The adjustable door elements provide quick and easy access to those items, often requiring only a minimal opening of the door; that adds to the cost of operating efficiency. The same is true for the bottom freezer. With careful organization, usually only a portion of the freezer drawers need to be opened. Our faithful former fridge served us well for about 25 years, but this new appliance tops that design by far! Love it!
We bought this refrig because our old Amana of 19.5 years was losing freon but still worked. This new one does not have the same quality and may not last as long. My wife does not like the drawers because they are flimsy.
I bought this refrigerator to replace my last Amana, which was still working, but I didn't want to have to move it long distance to my new residence. This is the same model as my old one only bigger. I too was disappointed that it didn't come with slide out shelves like my last one. Why would they discontinue such a great feature? To save money and still charge a higher amount? I also have a difficult time opening the refrigerator door. My old one also had egg holder, and several other attachments that were standard.
I had the smaller version of this same refrigerator for several years. I loved it. It had slideout shelves and were spillproof. No so for the larger version (22 cu ft). It doesn't have slideout shelves and the refrigerator door is very difficult to open. It sticks. I bought it online, so didn't have a chance to see it in the store, but I figured it would have the same features as the smaller one, which is the same refrigerator.
