The Maytag Refrigerator line is definitely one to consider when looking to purchase a new refrigerator. Maytag has just celebrated its 100th year having started in 1907 by Frederick Louis Maytag. The Maytag brand is usually associated with making great washing machines. But thier refrigerator line is no exception. They are some of the most reliable, best quality refrigerators on the market.
The Whirlpool Corporation has been on a buying spree as of late having recently acquired the Maytag brand. This adds Maytag to an already impressive family of refrigerator manufacturers like Amana, KitchenAid, and JennAir.
The Maytag mark of quality should remain intact as Whirlpool is certainly a brand that has its own reputation to uphold. From insiders we hear from at Maytag, there have been few changes to the overall brand philosophy since the acquisition took place.
Currently their line consists of fifty (50) different models in its line ranging in price from about $700 to about $2600.
Like many of the Whirlpool Refrigerators, most Maytags have the Energy Star certification. In fact, Maytag's parent company, Whirlpool won this years' Energy Star Award for Sustained Excellence. Proving that they have been on the forefront of creating efficient appliances that save on water and energy while helping to reduce your family's impact on the environment.
Did you know that replacing a refrigerator that you might have purchased even as recently as 1990 with a new Energy Star model would save enough energy to light the typical family home for just over four months! Whirlpool Refrigerators are known for their efficiency, so consider replacing that ol' energy burner with a new Energy Star certified model.
Our favorite Maytag Features!
The Maytags may not have as many bells and whistles as some of the other major brands, but the Maytag line certainly has its own set of features it can be proud of.
Maytag was one of the first to offer a French Door Refrigerator with a filtered/external ice/water dispenser. They've only managed to improve on it ever since. Their PuriClean II Water Filtration systems are long lasting and deliver high quality water and ice.
The unique Adjustable Spill-Catcher and EasyGlide Shelves make organization and clean up a snap
Many of their units are equipped with the Quiet Series 200 Sound Package which makes these refrigerators as quiet as a church mouse.
One thing we loved at RefrigeratorPro.com was the BrightSeries Lighting Package that we found in a few of their higher end models. This allowed us to see deep within the fridge from almost any vantage point. This comes in very handy more often than you might realize.
Just like you'd expect from Maytag, they have great service plans. Even though more than likely you'll never run into a problem, getting the Maytag extended warranty (available at MaytagDependabilityPlus.com) is something we highly recommend. Maytag's service response we found to be professional, efficient, affordable and most importantly, easy.
