I always found this design interesting but apparently it didn't sell very well.

I bought this fridge in white. It cost me over $2500.00 brand new and lived for 4 years. Needless to say I was not a fan of Maytag after that. But speaking of longevity, we have a Sears Kenmore side by side that my husband bought brand new in 1997 when he had the house built. It now is in the garage and still works beautifully! We use it in the summer when we have cookouts to store all the extra food that needs to be kept cold.

My sister, who is all about quirky and unusual, bought a white wide-by-side new. I think it lasted ten or twelve years before the compressor failed a few months ago. She has cats, and even though the manufacturer suggests that the condenser coils don't require vacuuming, when you have cats, you have to vacuum. She never did. She killed a bottom freezer Amana the same way.
At the time of the compressor failure she still had American Home Shield coverage on all of her appliances, so for the cost of the deductible she had the compressor replaced. She's also going to vacuum the condenser periodically from now on.
The handles on her fridge were executed better than on the fridge pictured above. At first glance it appears her fridge only has a single handle. The two handles are more obvious on the stainless fridge. |

My friends Fred & Donna had one of those Maytags. It quit after about 5 years, and was going to be nearly as much to fix as a new one. They got a GE after that, and like it much better. |
