Don't let the low price of the Amana ATB1932MRW refrigerator fool you, as this top-freezer model packs some nice upscale features into an attractive if conservatively styled medium-sized fridge. Add in a suggested price of only $550, and the ATB1932MRW proves to be a good value, provided you like the white finish.

We've come to expect a lot from Amana refrigerators, and the ATB1932MRW doesn't disappoint. This top-freezer model is a real bargain if you need a small fridge for an apartment kitchen, and it also is ideal as an inexpensive second fridge for the basement or garage.

The inside of the ATB1932MRW doesn't betray its low cost. The refrigerator compartment door has a fixed shelf and three pick-off gallon door bins, plus a clear dairy compartment. Within the main compartment are three adjustable tempered-glass shelves with spill-saver lips, plus a fixed shelf. There are also two sturdy humidity-controlled crisper drawers and a snack drawer. Amana includes a removable egg caddy, but these are often more trouble than they are worth.

The ATB1932MRW's freezer door has two fixed shelves, and the main compartment adds a full-width white-wire shelf. Ice-cube trays are included, but this model lacks an automatic ice maker. You can add an optional ice maker, but it will increase the overall price by approximately $100.

This top-freezer model has a total of 19 cubic feet of storage space, including 13.8 cubic feet space in the refrigerator compartment. The ATB1932MRW is not a particularly energy-efficient model, but it isn't terrible either, costing about $44 per year to operate. This may not seem like much, but there are many medium-sized refrigerators on the market that cost less annually.

Overall, the Amana ATB1932MRW top-freezer refrigerator offers some quality features for a good price.


Pros: Good value, some upscale features
Cons: Lacks some desired convenience and performance features, not very energy-efficient
