[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 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.
Bought this because we have an older home and not room for a wide frig. We are happy with it. I like the interior design, feels spacious and easy to access everything. Very large door shelves.. Very easy to take shelves apart for cleaning. Only shortcoming I can think of is that it would not be great for people who use lots of ice. Has neither an icemaker nor a convenient shelf for trays. In a pinch guess one could devote the upper tray of the freezer drawer to ice cube trays....but they might spill over when closing before the water freezes. I have been freezing trays in my basement freezer and then dumping cubes in a container in the freezer drawer of the Amana. That's fine since we don't use alot of ice.
I own an old house, so I have a small refigerator opening next to a doorway. There aren't a lot of options out there, but I am happy with this refrigerator. I really wanted a French door style, but I couldn't find one that would fit the space front to back. That being said, I love the bottom freezer. It is great to have the fridge items at eye level. It seems like I have slightly less room in the refrigerator section compared to my top freezer model, and the crisper drawers are more shallow top to bottom and front to back, but nothing I can't handle. Nice, deep shelves in the door.
