Maytag Top-Freezer Refrigerators

Top-freezer refrigerators are a classic style everyone is familiar with. With this refrigerator style, the freezer compartment sits on top while the refrigerator portion is below. In its best form, it's an affordable, no-frills style for those with basic needs.

Maytag top freezer refrigerators combine classic style, durability, and features that keep food cold and organized. You can find what you're looking for with BrightSeries LED lighting, and thanks to the PowerCold feature on certain models, you can quickly cool down your refrigerator.

While some excellent top freezers are out there from Maytag, performance can vary wildly between models. On the basis of performance, here is the best top freezer from Maytag that your kitchen needs:

Maytag® MRT118FFFE Top Freezer Refrigerator

Maytag® 18.2 Cu. Ft. Black Top Freezer Refrigerator

  • Fingerprint Resistant Finish: Yes
  • Dimensions: 29 x 31 x 65 inches
  • Total Capacity: 18.2 cubic feet
  • Kilowatt Hrs. Per Year: 411
  • Energy Star Certified: Yes

With a price tag under $700, this Maytag refrigerator works as an affordable option for those on a budget. Designed in a top-freezer configuration, the MRT118FFFE refrigerator is finished in a fingerprint-resistant black finish that is modern and functional at the same time.

By reducing the temperature to 34 degrees, its PowerCold feature shields food from extreme temperature changes. Its integrated crisper drawers keep produce at its freshest for longer, and a pantry drawer stores snacks and favorite charcuterie board items neatly and conveniently. And no matter how much you load them, bottom-mounted crispers will glide smoothly because they carry their weight from the bottom, not the top.

Maytag Side-By-Side Refrigerators 

Over the last decade, Maytag side by side refrigerators have become increasingly popular. By placing the refrigerator on the right and the freezer on the left, this style provides quick access to both fresh and frozen foods. Also, the side-by-side refrigerators from Maytag offer distinctive features like Store-N-Door® ice dispensers that save space and FreshLock crispers that keep food fresh.

Aside from that, compared to the top and bottom freezer models—side-by-side refrigerator doors take up less space to swing open, making them perfect for small kitchens. Here is the best refrigerator from Maytag in side-by-side style:

Maytag® MSS25C4MGZ Side-By-Side Refrigerator

Maytag® MSS25C4MGZ Side-By-Side Refrigerator

  • Fingerprint Resistant Finish: Yes
  • Dimensions: 35 x 34 x 69 inches
  • Total Capacity: 24.51 cubic feet
  • Number of Doors: 2
  • Number of Shelves: 6

The MSS25C4MGZ boasts a sleek, stainless steel exterior that resists fingerprints and a reach-through door handle that makes it easy to access your stored items. Featuring BrightSeries LED lighting, the refrigerator's interior is bright and energy efficient.

A unique feature of this Maytag side-by-side refrigerator is its dedicated frozen pizza storage area—which can accommodate two upright pizza boxes and be folded away when not in use. On top of that, it features three Maytag® metal shelves that can hold heavy items without sagging. Moreover, the fridge has gallon-sized door bins to accommodate large bottles and containers. And the crisper in the fridge has humidity controls, which help to maintain an ideal climate for storing produce.

In addition to the ice dispenser, the refrigerator has a water dispenser and a Store-N-Door® ice dispenser. The dispenser has a filter-change indicator that lets you know when it's time to replace the filter. This refrigerator is a great option for individuals looking for a durable, functional refrigerator with various unique features.

Maytag Counter-Depth Refrigerators 

The Maytag counter depth refrigerator style is designed to fit flush against the countertop for a streamlined appearance. The depth of this refrigerator is usually less than 30 inches, but its width and height more than compensate, so the refrigerator offers the same amount of storage space as other styles.

Maytag MSC21C6MFZ Counter Depth Refrigerator

 Maytag MSC21C6MFZ Counter Depth Refrigerator

  • Fingerprint Resistant Finish: Yes
  • Dimensions: 35 x 29 x 69 inches
  • Total Capacity: 20 cubic feet
  • Energy Star Certified: Yes

Maytag MSC21C6MFZ refrigerator combines form and function for easy food storage with neat freezer organization to the left and ample fresh food storage to the right.

The 20.6 cu ft capacity is divided into shelves, door bins, and humidity-controlled crisper drawers to give you a place for everything you need. The Store-N-Door ice dispensing system helps you save space on refrigerator shelves by dispensing ice directly from the door. And with EveryDrop water filter, contaminants are reduced to the absolute minimum, and water is filtered in a variety of ways so you can always have access to clean drinking water.

In addition, as opposed to traditional incandescent lighting, BrightSeries LED lighting produces bright, white light while consuming less energy. Moreover, the stainless steel handles are durable and built to last, adding a touch of elegance to your kitchen.

Maytag French Door Refrigerators 

An integrated French-door refrigerator incorporates many of the above style elements. This style's refrigerator has a spacious layout and two half-width doors and is easy to load and unload. The French doors usually have two doors covering the fridge compartment and freezer drawers beneath. However, there have been models with four doors. Also, some Maytag French door fridges come with drawer-style freezers, and some even come with door-style freezers.

With a Maytag French door refrigerator, keeping your family's favorites organized is easy. A Wide-N-Fresh deli drawer lets you conveniently store your large party platters and deli trays on select models. Furthermore, many models feature easy-to-clean, durable stainless steel finishes that resist fingerprints. Usually, they are the most expensive, but they are great for large families.

Maytag MFI2570FEZ French Door Refrigerator

Maytag MFI2570FEZ French Door Refrigerator

  • Fingerprint Resistant Finish: Yes
  • Dimensions: 35 x 35 x 70 inches
  • Total Capacity: 24.7 cubic feet
  • Energy Star Certified: Yes

The Maytag 24-Cubic-Foot French Door MFI2570FEZ Refrigerator has many of Maytag's special design and cooling features, including a fingerprint-resistant finish and strongbox hinges. The hinge mechanism is designed to maintain a secure seal around appliance doors. In addition to preventing cold air leaks, this feature can also extend the life of your appliance and increase its efficiency.

Another notable feature of the MFI2570FE is its PowerCold mode. You can activate this setting by using the touch-panel controls on the ice and water dispenser, which uses cold air from the freezer to chill the compartment quickly. In this way, you can ensure that the groceries you just brought home from the store stay at the correct temperature.

With its modern design, large capacity, and upgraded features, this French-door style refrigerator from Maytag gives buyers a taste of luxury for an affordable price.
