Maytag MFF2557 bottom-freezer refrigerator

Date Published: 5/1/08

With its 24.8-cubic-foot capacity, the Maytag MFF2557 is a medium to large bottom-freezer refrigerator that offers the innovative "French door" styling on the top fresh foods compartment. This model provides the best of both worlds, combining the convenience of a side-by-side refrigerator on the top with the energy-savings of a bottom-freezer model. Maytag's MFF2557 has relatively low price when compared with other French door bottom-freezer fridges, and it has plenty of great features that makes this a terrific value.

You'll love how efficiently this model runs, since it uses just 505 kWh of electricity each year, which should cost you about $42 to run annually. Maytag's MFF2557 also has the manufacturer's "Dual Cool" temperature management system, which constantly monitors and adjusts the unit's internal temperature. This bottom-freezer refrigerator has 17.3 cubic feet of space in the main compartment and 7.5 cubic feet of room in the freezer. Inside, you'll find four split adjustable glass shelves with a spillsaver feature, as well as a fixed shelf above the two humidity-controlled crispers and one above the deli drawer. There's also a beverage rack that doubles as a beverage organizer.

Since this fridge has two half-width doors, it has plenty of door shelves, a total of five pick-off gallon-plus door bins, one fixed shelf, a removable dairy compartment, and an egg cradle. The freezer pulls open like a drawer and has a glide-out freezer drawer and two slide-out baskets; the lower basket has a handy divider that helps you keep foods separate. This refrigerator is available in a choice of white, bisque, black, or stainless steel.
