Our Amana Side-by-Side stopped cooling late in the afternoon the day before Thanksgiving. We bought ice and stuffed the fridge, then rushed to shop before the stores closed. This is not the way I like to shop. I like to do research first. But because we must keep Insulin chilled but not frozen we didn't have the luxury of research time and Internet shopping.
I knew I wanted this style because I love bottom freezers, it is easy to see items in the back, and it is energy efficient.
None of the stores we were able to get to before closing time carried this model. I found that most brands had freezer drawers that were extremely difficult to open. Some I couldn't open at all.
I was worried about buying American because I knew Whirlpool had bought the companies and we once had a Whirlpool that was nothing but trouble. Our son bought a bottom-freezer Amana after the company had been purchased by Whirlpool. He said he was pleased with it, had had no problems, and was told when he bought it that Amana still makes the machine; Whirlpool only makes the visible exterior.
I have recommended Amana to family and friends so the only question was could I open the drawer? Yes! The floor model was tight; the one on my new fridge is easier to open even when fully loaded. The freezer has 2 upper drawers for easy access to the foods you use most frequently. They slide.
The big surprise was inside the refrigerator section. The left side has 6 special holders for soda or beer cans. This saves a lot of shelf space. The right door has a special place for 2 gallons of milk. Shelves are adjustable. There are 2 crisper drawers and a deli drawer. To use the deli drawer you have to open both doors. The lights are bright. The water filter is up front so it's easy to replace. It's large so it should last quite a while. The fridge will tell you when the filter needs to be replaced. There's an alarm to warn you the doors aren't closed. It went off as we were loading the fridge. It's loud enough to hear across the room but it doesn't blast you out of the house.
This model provides ice and water through the door. You can select water only, cubes only, or both together. The temperature control is also on the outside. There is a child lock to prevent children and large dogs from playing with the water dispenser. (Yes, dogs sometimes press their noses to it. We have a friend who has a curious Great Dane.)
This refrigerator is quiet! Amana is not known for quiet refrigerators, only good ones. Insulation is great. It hardly runs but maintains temperature perfectly.
What you will miss are an egg container and a large ice container. I miss the crushed ice my previous Amana had. And I believe a side-by-side freezer holds more than this drawer. Both my Amanas are 25 cubic feet total but I don't know the freezer measurements.
The exterior does not show fingerprints!
