How We Score It

Gathering the reviews

We continuously collect owner reviews and public discussions from major retailers and community forums, de-duplicate them, and set aside anything we can’t tie to a verified purchase.

Calculating the average

Averaged across every source we found (Amazon, AJ Madison, and other retailers). Each source counts in proportion to how many ratings it has, so a store with thousands of reviews moves the number more than one with only a handful.

What owners say ★★★★★

“We bought all Maytag for the beautiful industrial handles. I needed a 33" wide fridge and this one is just as roomy as other brands but less deep, which gives it a sleeker look. We considered reconfiguring our kitchen to get a bigger counter depth fridge in but found the storage in those models lacking. This is not marketed as counter depth but is only a bit deeper than most counter depth fridges and hold just as much. We wanted an interior ice maker since we have wood floors in our kitchen and have lived through leaks and drips with door dispensers before. I like the small cube size on the interior ice maker. I do wish an interior water dispenser was an option on this model. The refrigerator drawers are a bit stiff on this but I'm hoping they glide more easily with time”

Owners Answer

The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet. See the spec FAQ below for the official numbers.

How much storage space does this refrigerator offer?Based on 9 owner mentions

This model has a total capacity of 22 cubic feet with a spacious refrigerator section and bottom freezer drawer. Reviewers consistently praise the generous interior space, adjustable shelves, and flexible layout that allows for easy organization of various food items. The bottom freezer design provides good storage for frozen goods while keeping frequently-used refrigerated items at eye level.

What are the dimensions of this refrigerator, and will it fit in a standard kitchen space?Based on 4 owner mentions

This model is 32.6 inches wide, 70 inches tall, and 33.4 inches deep. Multiple reviewers note that the 33-inch width makes it suitable for kitchens with space constraints, and while it is slightly deeper than typical counter-depth models, it offers comparable storage capacity. Several owners report it fits well in their kitchen layouts and provides a sleeker appearance than larger alternatives.

Does this refrigerator maintain consistent temperatures?Based on 2 owner mentions

Yes, reviewers report that this model reliably maintains stable temperatures in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Multiple owners specifically note that the refrigerator keeps a consistent temperature around 38-40 degrees and the freezer around 0 degrees, with the compressor cycling on and off appropriately. This temperature stability is highlighted as a key strength compared to some competing models.

Are the drawers and shelves easy to use?Based on 13 owner mentions

The shelves are widely praised as adjustable, sturdy, and easy to reconfigure to meet different storage needs. However, multiple reviewers report that the crisper drawers and produce bins are made of thin plastic and do not slide smoothly—some require wiggling or careful handling to open and close properly. This is a recurring concern about the drawer quality and operation, though the overall shelf system receives positive feedback.

Does the refrigerator door stay open or close properly?Based on 4 owner mentions

Several reviewers report that the refrigerator door swings open too easily and will swing all the way open to hit the wall unless manually stopped. Some owners note they must use one hand to hold the door while retrieving items with the other. This is a recurring design concern that affects usability, particularly in kitchens with limited space.

What is the build quality and material construction?Based on 7 owner mentions

Reviewers have mixed feedback on build quality. Many praise the adjustable shelves as sturdy and the overall design as attractive. However, several owners note that interior components—including crisper drawers, plastic bins, and door liners—feel cheaper or more flimsy than expected, with some comparing it unfavorably to older Maytag or Amana models they previously owned. The exterior stainless steel finish is noted as easy to clean.

Is the ice maker function reliable and quiet?Based on 4 owner mentions

Reviewers report mixed experiences with the ice maker. Some note it works quickly and reliably, while others report that the water solenoid is very noisy when filling the ice tray. One reviewer mentioned turning off the ice maker functionality to reduce noise. If ice-making capability is important, this feature appears functional but may produce noticeable sound during operation.

What is the energy consumption of this model?Based on 1 owner mention

This refrigerator uses approximately 584 kilowatt-hours per year, which is typical for a full-size unit of this capacity. This specification can help you estimate annual operating costs and environmental impact.

Great fridge for a great price
Love this refrigerator. I much prefer this single door style to the French doors I previously had. On a 33' fridge you get more door storage space like this. I also find this freezer drawer has more space than others I looked at. I love the three drawers for produce and cheeses. Ice maker works quickly. Overall highly recommend.

Great features
Love the freezer in the bottom and all the room in top of refrigerated area! My fridge looks organized and things are handy to see and grab!

Great design and build, some features discontunued
This unit was selected to duplicate features of a superb 25+ year old Amana model #ARB2217CSL. The various Whirlpool family models were compared. Most importantly, the Maytag had a covered butter dish, a door bin that could accommodate gallon containers of milk and a separate deli drawer. Some relatively minor but convenient features were not available. The Maytag did not have a lower freezer compartment divider (although the documents received with the Maytag indicated there was one), door bin mats were missing, and there was not a sliding shelf (although the old Amana one fits). One complaint is the overly short tracks for the vegetable/fruit bins makes it difficult to access the back of the bins without the drawer falling forward. The LED lighting is a big improvement. Overall., I am satisfied with the Maytag and will hopefully get the same reliability as the previous Amana. It is, however, unfortunate that that several low-cost improvements were discontinued.

Love it!
Best refrigerator I’ve ever had. Love the bottom freezer. Shelves are so easy to access and clean.

This refrigerator maintains its temperature
This refrigerator has everything I was hoping for. There is a good amount of space in the refrigerator section, allowing for easy organization. The freezer also has a good amount of storage space. But the most important point is that it keeps a stable temperature. I measure the temperatures daily, as my last "new" refrigerator did not work well. This one keeps a constant temperature 40 degrees in the refrigerator and around 0 in the freezer. It runs quiet, except for when the ice maker does a water fill. I am quite happy with this product.

The refrigerator actually works
Unlike the similar Whrlpool model, this refrigerator actually maintains its cooling temperature at at consistent 38-40 degrees and turns off occasionally. I have had it for several weeks and have had no issues with it. The kitchen size is very small, which severely limited the size unit that would fit the space. There were only two contenders, this was the right choice.

Our Maytag Refriderator/Freezer Combo is Awesome!
We have owned our Maytag Refridgerator (up)/Freezer (down) with Ice Maker down for about a month now and we love it for it's Very Practical Layout and Space Availability which holds at least 20% more product than our old larger Fridge by 20%!! The Refridgerator part is awesome: 1. There are 3 different drawers for Fruit & Vegetables (lower section) and above there are 4 glass adjustable shelves to accomodate any combination of foods that you want to store. 2. The Refridgerator Door is also a GREAT Space handler with the entire bottom shelf accomodating Gallon Containers (i.e., Milk, Apple Cider, etc.) Large bottles of wine, etc. 3. Plus, there are 5 totally adjustable shelvs on the door to accomodate the rest of your space needs and we have packed it chuck full of stuff which weighs alot on the door but the door opens and closes like it was empty (truly amazing)! The Freezer has a great ice making machine which I truly appreciate; at first, it takes awhile to make ice and fill the Bucket Under and Beside it but once it's full it just keeps on making ice (the ice is a perfect oblong size that fits nicely into any glass of liquid you want to drink) but you can stop it by raising it's little handle to the up position anytime. Also, the bucket slides out when you pull the freezer's tray out to access the Ice and all the frozen stuff you have in your freezer. If you buy this Maytag Refriderator/Freezer Combo - I think you will love it too ;-)...

Lots of Space
We are very pleased with the Maytag Refrigerator with Bottom Freezer

Great Features
I was limited to space and did not want a French door because you lose a lot of shelving for my condiments so this model was perfect. Waited a couple of weeks for my new fridge and I love it. Everything i wanted moveable shelves, butter dish and large cold cut drawer. Ice maker in the freezer is great.

All the features are awesome!
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I love all the storage, and the bottom freezer is exactly what I was looking for!

Great use of space!
Wonderful shelf space. Two crispers and a drawer (obviously for cheese). I love the bottom freezer.
