Our old Amana refrigerator was twelve years old and starting loosing the ability to keep food cold in the food part of the unit.After tracing the problem down to a basic design flaw, I was not sure I wanted to purchase Amana again, however, it seems most refrigerators are made by one or two makers.Thus, I went on a quest for the best looking unit for the money.
Amana has changed some of the layout for food placement, but basically this one has ample room for all the things that you want to put into a refer. It even has an extra wide door rack that will hold one gallon milk jugs with ease.This model did not have an ice maker, or a covered storage space for eggs.It does have temp controls at the top at the front for both freezer and food areas. There is also a covered storage area for butter, and a special drawer for meats and cheeses.The shelves are glass, sturdy, and adjustable.There is also ample lighting in both the freezer part and the food part of the unit.
Easy Reach is a brand name by Amana given to those units with the freezer component on the bottom.Some open like a door and this one like a drawer.The freezer does NOT have and ice maker, or even ice cube trays. The drawer is easy to use and will hold lots of frozen goods.I have not filled it yet, so I cannot say how well it keeps large quantities frozen.
To see this unit in action, watch "two and a half men" , and when they shoot a kitchen scene, the refer is this model. I discovered this after I made my purchase.Just shows that no one pays attention until you research.
For under $[...] delivered and installed, and taking away my old, and a $[...] energy rebate, the Amana ABL2222FES is a good buy.Carpetguru

I've had my fridge for about 1 month now, and so far it's been working fine.It looks pretty and all, BUT I have to say that I am not very happy with the storage capacity of this fridge.The door bins are curved, so you can fit VERY FEW items in one bin.You can't fit many tall things (i.e. wine bottles after they've been opened) if you have some other things there like milk and/or juice.The coke can dispenser is nice IF YOU DRINK FROM CANS!We don't and there's no way to change out that bin.It's just that my older Kenmore fridge (much cheaper) had a LOT more storage than this one.Too many curves in this model, which really bringe down storage capacity.
