We purchased this product on 5/28/10, it was delivered 6/3/10. It is a little loud, not a huge deal for us. But after 3 weeks, I noticed that it started rusting. I read the directions about how to clean the outside of this fridge. It said to use a mild detergent with an soft cloth and warm water. This is exactly was I did. Water did not sit on the surface for an extended period of time, but yet the ENTIRE front showed signs of rust. I contacted the store and they forwarding me to the Maytag customer service. Someone came out quickly and because it's within in 30 days the cosmetics of the fridge are covered. They ordered new doors but I am concerned that this will happen again and not be covered. The gentleman that came to fix it said that it is because it is made of a cheaper stainless steel. He said that to let any water touch it if possible. The mechanics of the fridge seem to work fine, so I guess that's good? I paid too much for stainless steel if it's going to rust though!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Just replaced a top refrig bottom freezer that we had for 13 years, since our kitchen was built around it we were very short on selection because of size. This worked perfectly and some how seems bigger then our last. Very happy and hopefully get another 13 years. Also the comments about loudness were not an issue for us, I didnt realize how loud my last refrig was this one I cant even hear!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

We've had the refrigerator for a week and we are generally very happy with it. The refrigerator is nice and roomy on the inside and the door shelves are easy to move around and adjust.
Things to consider - the freezer is on the smaller side. The refrigerator door doesn't close automatically - I've walked away a few times and left the door open. And stainless steel is very fingerprint smudgy... this is my first stainless steel experience and I think this might be the norm.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I looked at a lot of S/S single door fridges before purchasing this one. I like that the shelf doors inside of the fridge are clear, the fridge has a lot of room and easy access. A gallon of milk fits on the bottom shelf on the door which is good for small children to reach.
I like that the outside door DOESN'T have the screws to move the handle...I saw that on other S/S models and it made it look cheap.
The freezer is a little small and I don't like that the top draw is hard to slide out...they could improve on that.
Otherwise I think it's a solid choice.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bought a stove and dishwasher to match for the Maytag rebate and love them all. The refrigerator part holds a lot more than our old comparible sized fridge did but the freezer is a bit small, it seems. Overall we really like it and so far have no complaints!!!!
I do wish the ice thing that hold the draw in place could be removed easily...it's screwed in and we are not using it as an ice maker so it would create more room.
Yes, I recommend this product.

did lots of research. Best price. SS looks great/black sides match other appliances. Fridge is really roomy. Freezer a little smaller than traditional top/bottom. Top freezer drawer doesn't slide easily when full. It will take a little getting used to.

The first fridge that was delivered was evidently broken - that is why it was running so loud. I couldn't figure out how to update my old review, so decided to add a new one. After a phone call to Home Depot about my very loud new fridge a manager immediately offered to replace it with a new one, no questions asked. The new fridge was delivered one week later and works beautifully! I am very pleased and would highly recommend purchasing from Home Depot they provided great customer service and we love this fridge. Plenty of interior space, beautiful exterior and it runs as quiet as a church mouse!
Yes, I recommend this product.

i've had this refrigerator for about 2 months now. I love the freezer at the bottom. I didn't choose a water / ice dispenser in the door as many people I know that have them have had problems with them. My fridge is not loud at all. The door shelf space is great. I can store alot more in the door than my old one. It's a much better layout than a side by side. I couldn't get a french door due to limited space. This looks great in my kitchen. It's a good value for the price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Was delighted to have this refrigerator delivered yesterday - it looks beautiful. But watch out, it runs VERY loud. It is easily heard 3 rooms away, so our eat-in kitchen has just lost a lot of appeal. One of the reasons I bought this model was because of the "QuietSeries 200 sound silencing system that keeps the refrigerator running quietly in the background" - yet it is the loudest refrigerator I have ever owned. A huge disappointment. Perhaps it is not running correctly - I will call Home Depot about the issue later today. I'm not sure if returning it is an option, but I hope so.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I have had a lot of experience with many different kinds of refrigerators - commercial, side-by-sde, top-freezer models, you name it. I have never found one so easy to use as this bottom-mounted freezer with a single door! First of all, the most often thing I get out of a freezer is ice - and I do not need a door dispenser for my ice and water. I am just as happy to pop the drawer open, grab what I want out of the conveneint ice tray, and get my water at the sink nearby. (And, the ice maker puts out the ice!!!) But what I really like, is having the refrigerator at counter height!!! Face it - we're in and out of the frig part a whole lot more than the freezer, unless you only eat frozen food. It is so nice to open the door and see everything right there in front of me without having to bend over or else squat like a catcher behind home plate. (And the action of bending over a bit for the freezer is no less troubling than going into a chest freezer, when you think about it.) Now, I had considered the French-door model, in part becasuse it is unique and different. However, in my L-shaped kitchn layout, the refirgerator is at the extreme right end - so even though it would be half-sized, it would be inefficient and somewhat of a nuisance to be opening the left-hand French-door "against" the work-triangle when cooking. (It wouldn't be such a problem, in my opinion, if a French-door model was the central point of the work-triangle, but in my kithcen, the sink is the central point and the range is the left point.) So, I couldn't be happier with this choice of refrigerator and its ease of use. It is also quiet, easy to clean, and well lit, which are all added bonuses!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was going to purchase the LG refrigerator/freezer since I had already decided on the LG range. Unfortunately the LG refrigerator didn't have a bottom freezer pull drawer in the 33" width. I decided on the Maytag instead and I couldn't be happier. Lots of room in both the fridge and freezer compartments. The inside front door has lots of space as well. I highly recommend this appliance.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We are really enjoying our Maytag bottom freezer drawer fridge. The capacity and stainless steel front are great. It runs quietly.
One drawback are the freezer drawer baskets. They are of a wired mesh variety rather than one with solid sides. Any leaks or spills in the freezer section make clean ups messier.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This refrigerator I selected after returning an LG model. I find that it's nice and quiet and the stainless looks great. I wish the interior door storage was laid out a little differently - I would've preferred more longer shelves (since it's a wide door) and also, wish they had more depth and a specific place for eggs. The good news is practically everything about the interior is adjustable. Overall, I'm very pleased with this unit and thrilled with the service received from the Home Depot in Copiague, NY.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a wonderful refrigerator. I have health problems and the bottom freezer is just what I need(recomended by a Homedepot associate who knows my problems.)
All of the things I use are at eye level. It has a 6 inch lip when the door is open so I can set things down to get things from the back. Nice spacious crisper drawers that are clear so items are visable. No drip lip on shelves to prevent spills and drips. large door shelf and removable pods for easy cleaning. I love it. I have already recomended it to several friends.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is the best refrigerator that I could have ever purchased. With the freezer at the bottom, there is no more bending down to get something out of the refrigerator. I can open the door and reach for what I want. All of the shelves are removable and I can set up the inside however I want. The ice maker is great also. This is fabulous!

It keeps everything so cold and fresh at a relatively low setting. Plenty of room for anything we need to refrigerate or keep frozen. I love that I can see everything in the fridge to find things so easily. The wheels on the bottom make it easy to move and a quick wipe of the handle and door and the stainless is shiny and clean again. It is extremely quiet with a great seal on the doors.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I recently bought this refrigerator online and when I got to the delivery section, I was having trouble viewing on the options on the computer so an assistant came online to assist me and when they realized there was a problem with the system, they immediately referred me to a phone specialist that completed my order efficiently. I love the new refrigerator, they said it would take 24 hours for the first ice cubes and they were working within 3 hours. I also had to call maytag with a question and they were helpful also. It was much cheaper to buy this product online through home depot than the store and it was delivered the same week, it could of been as quickly as 2 days but that didn't fit with my schedule. The whole purchase was fantastic!!!! There is so much room in this refrigerator, and I really love the freezer being on the bottom.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We love the freezer on the bottom feature! We have heard some noises but upon investigation found out they are common and nothing to be concerned about.Shelves are easy to position and easy to clean. Stainless does show finger prints but unlike black it does not show every speck of dust. I'll take the stainless any day!
