- I am looking to purchase my first refrigerator and would appreciate some input.
- I have researched Consumer Guide and found that they tested models that are
- different than the one in which I am interested.
-
- In particular, I am interested in a 24-25 cu ft side by side. The catch is that
- I do not want the ice and water dispenser through the door. I rarely use ice,
- and I drink bottled water, so for me this dispenser is just wasted space
- in the freezer. As far as I can tell there is a limited number of models
- available. The two that I am currently considering are:
- Amana SZ25M2 and Maytag RSD2400A
-
- The problem is that I keep getting conflicting information from sales people.
- The Amana seems to be available in just about every store that I visit. It
- has the proper features, color and an acceptable price. However, I have been
- told by the representatives of several stores that do not sell Amana that
- the Amana product is poorly constructed (this is the reason they give for not
- carrying the product to begin with). These stores try to sell me the Maytag.
- Then the story reverses and the other dealers tell me that the Maytag
- is a piece of junk that Maytag doesn't even manufacture, but simply puts
- their name on.
-
- All of this is enough to drive someone crazy! I figure I could put this
- all to rest if I could get some unbiased, personal observations from people
- who have experience with these refrigerators. I would be very interested
- in hearing from people who own either Maytag or Amana refrigerators.
- I am interested in how well you think these machine function and how loud
- it is when it is cooling.
-
- Thanks in advance,
