Year in and year out, Amana seems to garner the most accolades for their
refrigerators.  It would be best that you read a review by a reputable
INDEPENDENT organization before making any choice.  One such review is made
by Consumers Union.  They publish a monthly report called "Consumer Reports"
and a yearly summary called "Consumer Reports -- Buying Guide Issue".  I can
only recommend this particular organization because I read and use it.  I'm
sure that others must exist that have similar data available.

I have an Amana "side-by-side" refrigerator (selected via a review in Consumer
Reports) and have been extremely pleased with it.  The refrigerator is now
8 yrs old and is performing nicely.  Whether functionality or energy efficiency
is more important depends on the mind set of the purchaser.  I believe the
Amana to have both.
