The refrigerator looks okay. Be sure to notice that it's not stainless all the way around it has black on the sides. It's very difficult to get things to fit in here the right way and I traditional style refrigerator was more efficient. The freezer is quite small for this. This would be perfectly fine for someone living by themself. I don't recommend this for a family fridge the freezer just doesn't cut it unless you have another refrigerator. We have another refrigerator in the garage so it's ok. Otherwise a BIG no.

Poorly designed refrigerator side. Only two bins and it is difficult to fit in "clamshell" designed lettuce containers.
One nice surprise: the water spout does not drip as long as the container is held under it until the water stops flowing!

The ice dispenser is a down side. It’s poorly designed and shoots water on you when you try to get ice about 9/10 times. The ice goes in random places also, usually the floor. The poor design of the nice bright overkill lights in the back middle take up half the storage space of your refrigerator inside and leaves too much room for things to fall back behind there and it has. Luckily it’s just myself and my husband now so we don’t use a lot of space or I would have sent it back. It was also one of the few available that fit under my cabinet. I really don’t like it but it works.

Fridge works good, but installation DID NOT WORK! They hooked up my icemaker/water with the existing line and the installer said it was good. I went on vacation and came back a week later to some kind of leak. My flooring was all bubbled up and bulging in front of the refrigerator. I called them right away and disconnected the water line and it's taking them 3 weeks to come out and "look at it". They had better replace the flooring at their cost.

Nice but scratched inside and out and the water line will not allow enough water to flow through. Replacement ordered. Other than that very nice and as expected. Delivery personnel were fantastic.

I am not sure which is worse, the refrigerator or the manufacturer repair service provider for Amana in the Phoenix area. This units fridge side temps have ranged from 31 degrees to 52 degrees. The average temperature has been 48F degrees. The freezer side temps have ranged from -1 to 35F degrees. It frequently goes above 32F allowing ice cubes to melt and run out of the freezer side and food unthaws.
We have been trying to get this unit repaired since June. The service company canceled and rescheduled the first call. The return trip to go back and repair (Trip #2) was also canceled and rescheduled. And although we called to ensure the tech would have the parts for the second trip, Guinco arrived for their rescheduled appointment without the part. They did come back the following day and installed the parts. Unfortunately that did not solve the wide swings in temperatures. The same issues persist and I have thrown on large volumes of spoiled food - some even well within expiration date and factory sealed are molding in this refrigerator.
I have repeatedly contacted Amana's CEO and Nicole at their executive desk has taken a "wait and see" approach to resolve our issue. Given the quality of their product and service, I want my money refunded and I do not want to try another one of these. I believe this is just one lemon out of many Amana lemons.
Buyer beware on this horrible unit!!

This refrigerator is just what we needed. It may not be quite as stylish, but it is very straightforward. The shelves and draws hold a good amount. It just fit in the opening, but it words. We paid for the install and haul away. The delivery company had to be coaxed a bit to do it, but ultimately it got done.

I love this fridge!! I originally purchased a Samsung fridge from another store- but I was still waiting for it after 6 months, and couldn’t wait any longer. The fridge I was replacing was 30 years old! I have a small space for a fridge, so finding the right dimensions took some time. My only requirement was an ice maker.
I love everything about this fridge and it works great. I still need the water line hooked up, but that will happen next week.

This is my 1st Amana refrigerator and I'm very pleased. Fit perfectly where my old fridge was. Love the water and ice compartment in the front. Very nice fridge for the price.

Perfect sized fridge for two people! The freezer is a little small, but still big enough for frozen pizza boxes to be standing on their side! The water dispenser has definitely been inadvertently pressed at times when trying to get ice since they aren’t side by side, so that took some getting used to!! Definitely recommend turning the kitchen light on before getting an iced water in the middle of the night hahaha

Admittedly, I wasn't thrilled with the rescheduling and communication issues, but this is a great fridge. It's spacious and attractive. Whirlpool (same maker) makes their own version of this that is almost completely identical, but this actually has some better features and costs hundreds less. One of those features is the adjustable shelves. I highly recommend this product.
Also, if you need to, it is extremely easy to install. Removing the doors to bring it inside was a little tough, but we chose to do this and it wasn't too bad.

Good refrigerator, but a little noisy. I’ve had two delivered already that needed a door replacement for dents caused on delivery. Still waiting for the second replacement.

There was slight damage on the side of the fridge - this was noted after the protective packaging was removed (so not due to delivery staff I think). The install team worked diligently to make the fridge fit even though the space was fairly tight - major thank you to them for this. The two drawers in the fridge section work poorly - they are difficult to pull out and pull out and return crookedly. Also, I am due a refund as I did not have the old fridge taken away - I have not yet seen this on my credit card. Overall, I am happy to have found the side-by-side fridge to fit in this small spot - so am happy with the end result despite the mediocre drawer operation.
