Maytag - 22 Cu. Ft. Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator with Humidity-Controlled FreshLock Crispers - Stainless Steel

Spend over $1,500 on any applIance and you should get perfection, not something worse than the older model you are replacing. Two irritating problems with this Maytag refrigerator replacing one that still worked well but had a dated beige color. The new model 1) Will not open without pulling so hard it moves on its wheels, for both doors. 2) Is irritatingly louder than the 14 year old one it replaced.

So while i do love it the one negative i have is the freezer. I didn’t want the wire baskets. I googled a video on the model and it showed the hard plastic in the freezer. That’s not what showed up at my house after 5 weeks of waiting. In the picture it also shows the handles as SS on the white fridge but they are white. It’s mostly silent so that’s a major plus.

The dimensions are true to size, it fit perfectly into our space. The water line for the ice maker was a breeze to hookup. The non-finger print stainless steel was a bit darker than expected. Plenty of room inside with just enough shelving.

It's attractive. Louder at times than our old one. The hanging drawers inside are too flimsy for a machine that cost this much. Must really always handle the long drawer gingerly and with two hands. But it seems to cool well. Longevity is a question and a hope. It's just been less than a month. I read in reviews that on the extended warranty service contract, Best Buy sends you to Maytag. So I bought both contracts from Maytag and from Best Buy. Need to be covered in case a problem arises. Would be four stars if I had it four years already.0

I've had the refrigerator for a month. I like the look, feel and finger resistant stainless steel. It feels solid and operates quietly. Flexible storage options and storage space. Like the half shelves, though the shelf back center supports restrict movement of items left or right. Like having the big gallon shelf at the bottom of door which is accomplished by having the deli draw the same depth as the vegetable/fruit draws. Like the bright lighting system that lights up the whole refrigerator and draw compartments. The freeze is good size with flexible storage options. My only dislikes: can't remove ice-maker, and deli/vegetable/fruit compartments are kind of cheap (wish they were on rollers instead of just sliding).
