I recently purchased my third 18 cu ft Refrigerator/Bottom Freezer; have another in a rental that is 12 years old (no issues) and I own an upright freezer (no issues). Amana is my 'Best Solution' to: clean line, efficient and dependable appliances. My 1st was a repo that I had for 18+ years before I recycled it and it was still in working order. I do highly recommend Amana products to all Friends and Family!
We are totally satisfied with this frige, it is so nice to open the door and every thing is at eye level. Several people have expressed about possibly purchasing one.
I bought this refrigerator recently to replace the poor old thing that had been in my condo when I bought it 11 years ago. Who knows how old it was? Anyway, this is a streamlined, smart-looking appliance. Very clean lines, easily adjustable shelves, and so on. I like having the freezer on the bottom. New experience for me, and I like it. Very happy with my purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my 20.5 cubic ft., Maytag top freezer for a smaller bottom freezer.....and am not regretting my decision. It seem like I have more room...go figure. I like having my refrigerator at eye level....and the few times I need to get something out of the freezer....the roll out shelves make it very easy. It is very quiet, the door seals tightly, and it doesn't run as much as my previous refrigerator. If I didn't have a cabinet enclosure, I would have gotten the larger size, but I haven't missed the 2 cubic ft.......although I will put it to the true test at Thanksgiving! The produce/ vegetable/ snack drawers are not the the most durable looking, but I am not rough....for the money, it is a well made refrigerator, without many of the bells and whistles that tend to be problematic in the long run.
I am very happy with the size of the freezer even tho it is a smaller (19 Cu) unit than most homes use today. There is still a lot of space in the refrigerator area and I love, love, love, the easy clean finish.
