ABB2227DES Amana 21.9 cu. ft. Easy Reach Plus Bottom Mount Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Finish
OVERALL: The Amana ABB2227DES Bottom Freezer Refrigerator is a good choice if you're looking for a well priced bottom freezer refrigerator.
Some of the things we loved was the amount of usable space within the fridge. All of the features of this fridge functioned well and we're of the level we would expect from Amana.
Though we were quite disappointed with the fact that the only stainless steel is on the front panel. The sides of the Amana Abb2227DES are black. If you're planning on placing this fridge within a cabinet (so that the sides are hidden) then this fridge is a bargain. But if not, you might consider either the Amana ABR2037FES or the Amana ABR2227FES instead.
CAPACITY: With 21.9 cu. ft. of storage space, you will find plenty of space for just about all of your food items.
Convenient space savers like the Bottle caddy which corrals your favorite drinks in one convenient place and the Slide-out upper freezer basket keeps your frozen veggies within reach.
The Glide-out lower freezer basket with QuickSplit™ organizer offers easier access to all your other frozen foods.
STYLE: As mentioned above, other than the partial stainless, the styling of the Amana ABB2227DES is rather conservative. Its sleek and modern looking style should blend well into most kitchen decors, but be aware of the black sides.
This unit also has a reversable door hinge, so if you need to switch it out, you can.
NOTABLE FEATURES: The Reversible Door Hinge came in quite handy and the Temperature-controlled Chef’s Pantry™ drawer with divider is a convenient way to keep meats and cheeses fresh. Again, we HIGHLY recommend you opt for the icemaker. For an extra $150.00-$200.00 this unit simply isn't the same without it.
COLORS: Our test unit was a Stainless Steel finish. It stood up well to fingerprints, but was easily scratched. The finish was very easy to clean.
EFFICIENCY: This model is ENERGY STAR® qualified - meaning it exceeds federal energy efficiency standards by 15% to help you save energy, and runs as quiet as a church mouse.
