Amana A8TXNGFXW Top Freezer Refrigerator Review

17.6 cu. ft Top Freezer Refrigerator - White

Overall: The Amana A8TXNGFXW Top Freezer refrigerator was the perfect choice for a basic and inexpensive white refrigerator.

Although it didn't win any awards for style, it had a generous interior storage capacity, spill-proof glass shelves, and humidity controlled crisper drawers.

This specific model of top mount fridge has been discontinued but we are happy to say that Amana still makes some of the most affordable and reliable fridges on the market today.

If functionality and affordability is what you're looking for, then you may want to take a look at our favorite top mount models.

Capacity: 17.6 cu. ft.


Notable Features:


  1. Easy Temperature Control: The temperature control dial on this fridge is found just inside on the top for easy access. FYI it is an actual "dial" and not a digital control, so you aren't able to set it to a specific temperature setting. (This may not seem like a big deal but if you're used to a digital control it can be much less reliable.)

  2. Reversible Door: This feature is unimportant until you actually need it! The ability to change the door opening from one side to the other is crucial if you're limited on kitchen space. It's a great option to have if your kitchen forces you to open the door only one way.

  3. Great Organization Features: Between the humidity controlled produce crispers, the dairy center and the deli drawer, you can easily organize all your food items.


Colors: This particular model ONLY came in White.


Efficiency: Sady it was not Energy Star rated. It used 470kWh per year on average giving this an approximate annual operating cost of about $52.00. (As you can see, even not energy star rated it still worked pretty well. You will find this with most top mount fridges as they are naturally more energy efficient.)


MSRP: $749.00 was Amana's suggested retail, but we found it for substantially less money (15-25% less) even before it was discontinued.
