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 ★★★★★

“I love my new refrigerator. My last one lasted 23 years so I am looking forward to having this one for quite a while! I love the drawer feature and the crispers have plenty of space. I like being able to put gallon items in the door, if I need to clear some space on the shelves. The freezer is plenty big enough as well.”

Owners Answer

The questions shoppers ask, answered from real owner reviews and discussions across the web — not the manufacturer spec sheet.

What do owners like most about this refrigerator?Based on 6 owner mentions

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.

Is this refrigerator quiet?Based on 6 owner mentions

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.

Does this model fit standard gallon-sized items in the door?Based on 3 owner mentions

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.

Are there any temperature control or cooling issues reported?Based on 5 owner mentions

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.

Can the doors be reversed for left or right-hand opening?Based on 1 owner mention

Yes, at least one owner confirmed the doors are reversible, which is helpful for fitting the unit into different kitchen layouts.

What about shelf material and configuration?Based on 4 owner mentions

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.

Does this model include ice trays or a butter tray?Based on 1 owner mention

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.

How does this refrigerator compare to older Maytag models?Based on 4 owner mentions

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.

Fit & facts

18 cu. ft. of usable storage — enough room for the average household weekly grocery run.

Nice frig
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.

Nice standard refrigerator
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.

Totally Cool!
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 my own. And now, so much later in life, I have realized my dream. This Maytag appliance is, for me, the ideal. Its clean, sleek design appeals to me-- those recessed handles! The glass shelves look bright and fresh, and the clear plastic vegetable bins allow me to recognize the condition of produce at a glance. I also like the pull out drawer-- so many food items wait right at my fingertips. And... there's more! Yes, I'm talking about a light in the freezer. (Doesn't this sound like a Shel Silverstein collection: "A Light in the Freezer"?). OK-- so who needs a light in the freezer? But I love it! Every time I open the door, I am dazzled by a bin full of sparkling ice cubes. The size of this refrigerator is also just ideal for a single person home or a small to modest sized apartment. Who needs the Ice-Capades? I've got my very own holiday on Ice!

Maytag appliances are always exceptional
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Great size for our condo unit & it stores a lot of food & beverages. I always highly recommend Maytag it’s the only brand we buy!

Keeping the beer cold
I bought this frig a couple weeks ago after a basement man cave remodel. It's keeping the the beer very cold. So far so good. I'd give it 5 stars but it's too new.
