It's very nice, but I'm kind of disappointed.

It's kind of funny, but sad too, because although I like it, I'm very disappointed. I bought this fridge to replace our beloved 25+ year Amana (which was 20 cu ft). I chose Amana again because I was pleased with our previous fridge's quality, space, and features. But I'm disappointed by quite a few things in this new one. This one is supposed to be larger inside (22 vs 20 cu ft), but there is less usable shelf space because it isn't as adjustable, and has less or smaller inside components. Our deli drawer is half the depth, the crisper drawers and shelves are shorter by a couple inches. There are less door bins/shelves, and more "air space" total because of its wide bottom shelf. There isn't a vent to keep the deli drawer cooler, and the crisper "humidity control" is a joke since there is no seal around the top of the drawers like the older model. Also the crisper and deli drawers are very lightweight cheap plastic, plus the drawer stops barely keep them from falling onto the floor. I sure hope they don't fall out and break. The door bins have rounded corners, so they hold less, and they're a solid rather than clear plastic, so it's more difficult to see what's inside. There aren't as many door bins or shelves, and although I purchased one more immediately (because it would only fit ONE more), it cost over $30 PLUS no choice but the exorbitant FedEx overnight shipping cost. I wanted to, but didn't, purchase another shelf with deli drawer because you must purchase each piece separately, including the drawer glides. And the shipping just for the clear drawer part is over $50. JUST THE SHIPPING. This freezer has two shortish sliding baskets, so there's less room than the old model's lower basket and upper fixed shelf which could actually hold ice cube trays. So why am I giving this model 4 stars? Because I still think Amana has good quality for the price. This stainless steel is gorgeous. And it fits in the same space in my kitchen. Plus a good price overall.
