A medium-size bottom-freezer refrigerator with a relatively low price, the Amana ABB2222FEW is a great fridge offered at a reasonable price. If you're looking for an energy-efficient model and don't want to spend more than you would for a comparably sized top-freezer fridge, the ABB2222FEW may be just what you're seeking. It has a relatively compact footprint and makes a wonderful energy-efficient fridge for smaller kitchens where floor space is at a premium.

The Amana ABB2222FEW has a single fresh food compartment door and a freezer that slides open like a drawer. It has a total of 21.9 cubic feet of storage space, with 15.6 cubic feet of space in the fresh foods compartment and 6.3 cubic feet in the freezer compartment. It uses just 459 kWh of electricity annually, so with current energy prices, you can expect to pay in the neighborhood of $49 to operate this model for an entire year.

The inside of the ABB2222FEW is somewhat basic, lacking advanced, sophisticated performance and convenience features found in more expensive models. However, this model is far from a stripped-down fridge. The door has four adjustable half-width gallon-size door bins, and one fixed bottom shelf that's deep enough to hold gallon-size containers. There's also a half-width clear dairy compartment. The main compartment has four half-width adjustable shelves. There's also one full-width fixed glass shelf above the crispers. Crisper drawers are clear and humidity controlled. A clear half-width snack/deli drawer and an egg caddy round out the interior features. The freezer is basic but feels sturdy. There are two removable slide-out white wire baskets. An automatic icemaker is an option with this model and will add about $100 to the price. Electronic temperature controls for both the fresh foods compartment and freezer are located on the top front of the fresh foods cabinet and are easy to use.

A basic, no-nonsense design with few extra performance and convenience features, a relatively low price and a quality feel makes the Amana ABB2222FEW bottom-freezer refrigerator a great buy for those looking for an energy-efficient fridge that won't break the bank.


Pros: Energy efficient, budget buy with a quality feel
