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.

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 talk about most
“Bought this for our cottage at the lake. Very good basic fridge, operates smoothly and is quiet. The shelf spacing is a little odd and is difficult to store 20 oz soda bottles other than on the door. Freezer is excellent and we love the light inside the freezer. Overall a good basic unit for the money.”
Owners Answer
The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet.
Owners consistently praise the bright freezer light, spacious interior layout with flexible shelving, full-width meat and cheese drawer, and the 10-year compressor warranty. Many also highlight the reliable Maytag brand reputation and good value for the price. The 18 cubic foot capacity provides ample room for most households.
Most owners report the unit runs quietly or fairly quietly. However, a notable minority report the compressor is noisy, runs frequently for extended periods, or makes rattling or crackling sounds—particularly when the door is opened. A few owners noted these sounds are more pronounced in the evening or after the unit has been running for a while.
Most owners report the door storage accommodates gallon items, though a few found gallon milk jugs or large bottles do not fit comfortably in the door shelves as configured. Some owners mentioned using brackets from older refrigerators to create additional space.
Most owners report the refrigerator maintains proper temperature and cools well. However, some owners experienced inconsistent cooling—including difficulty regulating temperature, freezer compartments that run too cold, or freezer frost buildup despite troubleshooting. A small number reported complete cooling failures requiring service.
Yes, at least one owner confirmed the doors are reversible, which is helpful for fitting the unit into different kitchen layouts.
The refrigerator features clear plastic shelves that are adjustable. Some owners appreciate the flexibility and visibility, while a few noted the plastic shelves feel less premium than glass and the shelf spacing can be awkward for storing certain items like 20 oz bottles.
One owner noted the unit does not include ice trays or a butter tray, which may be a consideration if these accessories are important to you.
Several owners who previously owned older Maytag refrigerators that lasted 20–30 years report satisfaction with this model and hope it will match the longevity of their previous units. The brand reputation for reliability is a key reason many chose this model.

Love the bright inside lighting. Simple easy to use temperature settings. Perfect amount of door storage along with ample shelving.. plenty of freezer space and love the 10 year warranty. Ver quiet running and efficient.
We bought this when our 21 year old Maytag gave out. This fridge runs fairly quiet and keeps our food cold. We’ve only had it 1 week so far, and we’re very happy with it.

When I was a kid, my parents took me to the Ice-Capades. When they asked if I liked the show, I told them it was the coolest entertainment I could ever imagine. But that wasn't what I was thinking. I was just thinking how much I'd like one day to own a Maytag refrigerator of…
