Okay concept, not so good on actual usable space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this unit because we had an Amana for the past 15 years, which was quite reliable. The older unit was standard Freezer on Top model. The newer unit is about 2cubic feet larger volume, but frankly it's less usable space. We have had to move a number of items formerly stored in our kitchen fridge/freezer to our basement freezers because they just dont fit in the new unit. Frankly, I'm disappointed. As a guy that's done some product design myself, I can suggest that the new unit was likely designed by a guy, and not by someone that actually uses the thing every day.
More background; I was part of a team that originally imported the Vestfrost units to the USA. I actually have some experience with completely new fridge/freezer formats. I was able to get used to the Vestfrost and make the space work, despite it being a considerably smaller volume than typical US units. Sorry to say that this Amana layout is just not as practical as the older model; more volume, less usable space. No wonder we have to import tech support.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our Amana about a month ago and are enjoying the inside set up a great deal. It's the first time we have had a freezer on the bottom and we like that as well. The only set back I have is that there was a sticky substance on the door when it arrived and in trying to clean it off with dish liquid it left tiny scratches that I am definitely not happy with. I contacted Amana and have not heard from them for a week or so.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was struggling with a fridge that was too small because of space and budget constraints. This Amana fridge has changed everything. A huge fridge in a modest size. Great price. So much capacity and flexibility. I am so happy and relieved.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this refrigerator a month ago. It is white as was my previous one. I was disappointed that it did come with ice cube trays, no shelf liners and no butter dish. The quality of the outside finish had diminished, it's not as rich as the previous model was. Seems that today we pay more for less and that is extremely sad for America. The under shelf drawer was cracked and I am still waiting for the replacement to arrive.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ABB2224BRB arrived 4/3/2021 Very roomy inside frig & freezer. Recommended settings for both were "4" but had to increase freezer to "5" for ice cream to be frozen solid. Removed our older Amana frig to garage; this new frig was the same size (height & width) but wouldn't fit under our cabinets because it was "slightly bowed" at the top instead of flat! We had to shave off the 2 cabinets for it to fit into our space !! This was a manufacturing issue. Otherwise, love this bottom freezer Amana refrigerator.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned the refrigerator for a month. I like the freezer positioned on the bottom. The refrigerator is quiet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Amana refrigerator. The first one lasted 20 years. It is a basic model. No need for all the upgrades.
