Hi..My husband and I bought the Amana Refrigerator for our daughter. Her old refrigerator was leaking from the freezer. At the time, I told her to consider having a freezer at the bottom as you really use the refrigerator the most and it is at eye level(so hubby could see everything easier) and also easier on the back. So far, they have been very happy with the choice. But, we still tell our grandson to be "gentle" with the freezer door. You know how little boys are....they are always in a hurry to slam things fast! So thank you for the great product and when my own refrigerator goes (which may be sooner than I think) we will be looking for the Amana line again. Thank you and have a great day!
We like our Amana bottem-freezer model very much. The only issue I have is that the freezer door is difficult to open sliding out. (I have health problems). I think an door opening like the fridge portion might be easier to work with from a walker or wheelchair...otherwise you are always in the way of the opening.
When our three undercounter appliances (2 refrigerators and one freezer) died at almost the same time, we decided to change up our kitchen and buy something that put more of our food at eye level. We bought this model in black and absolutely love it. There's great storage space in the refrigerator and the bottom freezer is a dream. Best of all it doesn't take up as much space as some of the other models we looked at. Highly recommended.
Although, with only a few months experience the refrigertor/freezer is doing what it is supposed to do. The machine seems well built and well thought out for storing cold things. It is not overly sophisticated with fancy electronics and should be very reliable for a long time from what I can tell so far.
We bought this refrigerator in June and have no complaints.We previously had a all refrigerator with no freezer and thought we would miss the extra space, but we have been pleased with the amount of food we can store in it. It runs quietly and has ample space. I have recommended it to a friend when she was looking for a new refrigerator.
