Amana - 34 in. Wide 21.4 cu. ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Stainless Steel ASI2175GRS

This side-by-side model has a total capacity of 21.4 cubic feet. It measures 33.1 inches wide, 66.3 inches tall, and 34.1 inches deep. The compact height makes it suitable for homes with space constraints or older kitchens where standard-height refrigerators won't fit.

The refrigerator features a front-door ice and filtered water dispenser that most owners praise for convenience. Note that the dispenser opening is relatively compact, so tall tumblers may need to be held at an angle to fill. Some reviewers report the ice and water buttons are positioned close together, so accidental activation can occur.

Most reviewers report the ice maker works well once properly set up. However, some owners note it may require a reset function if it stops working initially, and a few report the ice maker struggles to keep up with larger families' needs. One reviewer mentioned the ice maker didn't work from day one and required service.

Many owners report the refrigerator works well and maintains proper temperature on factory settings. However, some reviewers have experienced temperature inconsistency—either freezing food on the fridge side or running too warm—with limited adjustment options between presets. A few owners reported serious temperature swings that caused food spoilage or freezer thawing issues.

Opinions vary. Many owners are satisfied and compare it favorably to older models they replaced. However, some reviewers express concern about durability, noting the unit feels less robust than older Kenmore or Amana models they previously owned, and worry it may not last as long. A few owners reported early failures including motherboard issues and compressor problems within the first month.

Most owners report the unit operates quietly and efficiently. However, a few reviewers note the compressor is noticeably loud or sounds unusual compared to their previous refrigerator, with one describing it as 'lethargic' and another reporting rattling sounds.

The refrigerator offers adjustable shelves that most owners appreciate for flexibility. However, some reviewers note the freezer side is narrow and deep, requiring rearrangement to fit items like frozen pizzas. A few owners mention shelf sizes differ from their previous model, and one reported insufficient shelf quantity overall. The door clearance can be tight when opening and closing.

Most owners report straightforward installation and setup. The water line connection is generally easy, and the refrigerator includes a filter that requires a 3-day flush period before ice and water are ready to use. One reviewer noted the depth extends further past the countertop than expected, so kitchen layout should be verified before purchase.
