Expert Review

Amana ATF1836AR top-freezer refrigerator

Date Published: 6/15/06

A solidly built, nicely designed top-freezer refrigerator, the Amana ATF1836AR combines great style with a sub-$700 price tag. This model doesn't have the wealth of features that the top-of-the-line top-freezer fridges have, but it also comes with an economical price tag. But despite its low price, it's still a lot of refrigerator for the money and may be a perfect choice for you if you need a fridge on the smaller side and don't need a lot of fridge space. This fridge is a small- to medium-sized refrigerator, with 18.1 cubic feet of room inside. The space inside is divided between the 13-cubic-foot fresh foods compartment and the 5.1-cubic-foot freezer, giving a couple or small family just enough food storage space.

This model runs on 480 kWh of electricity a year. You will need to spend about $40 per year to operate this Amana top-freezer refrigerator, just about $3.50 per month. Inside this model are four split-width adjustable glass shelves with a spillsaver feature and a fixed glass shelf above the humidity-controlled crispers. There's also a clear snack drawer in the main area. On the door are four gallon-size adjustable door buckets and a dairy center, in addition to a fixed bottom shelf. The freezer of this refrigerator model includes a factory-installed automatic icemaker and storage bucket, plus a full-width wire shelf and two full-width door shelves. You can select from white, bisque, black, or stainless steel models of Amana's ATF1836AR top-freezer refrigerator.
