Maytag Refrigerator - Bottom Freezer - MBF2254H Review Summary

Are you looking for a refrigerator with lots of storage space? If so, then our reviewers think you’ll fall in love with the Maytag MBF2254H Bottom Freezer Refrigerator. This is thanks to “extra deep” door bins in the top refrigerator part that allow you to store two rows of large items like gallons of milk or 2 liter soda bottles. If energy is a concern, this is also a great model. Reviewers say that having a pull drawer freezer is more practical as the freezer is typically used less than the refrigerator. You just pull out the freezer drawer and have a look. When you have to bend over, you don't do this as often and without thinking beforehand. Some reviewers felt that the freezer could be bigger. It really depends on if you're a "stock up" type or if you use the freezer for the basics and for leftovers. If you don't like to cram your freezer tight, then this may be just the right model.

As a future senior citizen, already afflicted by arthritis, the easy access to all compartments of this refridgerator are the most attractive feature.

The temperature is consistent throughout the entire refridgerator. The adjustable shelves make it possible to store almost any product; tall bottles, big...

"They don't make 'em like they used to." That is what the Maytag representative told me when I called about having to replace my compressor a second time in less than fourteen months. I was disappointed to say the least. We had also replaced the ice cube maker in the first six months we owned this...

When we bought our home three years ago, it didn't come with a refrigerator so we had to buy one.  My parents decided to get it for us as a housewarming gift and told us to just go to Lowe's and pick it out.  My boyfriend's mother had purchased a bottom-freezer model for her house a few months earlier and I knew that was the style that I wanted to have.  I knew they were very expensive and felt guilty for even considering one but my mother said to just pick out what I wanted.  We eventually chose the least-expensive bottom-freezer model that Lowe's stocked: Maytag MBF2254H Bottom Freezer Refrigerator...

We purchased our Maytag bottom freezer refrigerator several years ago from Sears and had nothing but problems with it from the moment we had it delivered. The repair people replaced the compressor twice, replaced a fan once, and came out for one problem or another six times over the course of two years. Finally, Sears replaced it as they deemed it a  Lemon. In the meantime however; I lost three refrigerators full of food. One time I had a supply of vaccinations in the refrigerator, so once they warmed up they could no longer be used safely. I lost hundreds of dollars in food and vaccines. The...

Maytag MBF2254H Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Bought this in April 207 and loved it -- it's roomy, the bottom freezer makes the refirgerator part easier to access so that there are fewer "forgotton" food items that go to waste.  I have a big chest freezer. so the size of the freezer was unimportant to me.  I liked the freezer with a door with shelves and interior basket, didn't have to move everything to find what I was looking for. It is also nice looking.

Now for the reason for a negative review. I came home last month to a puddle all around the refrigerator and everything was melted. ...

I have a large family and needed a reliable refrigerator, so in May of 2007 I remembered the loneliest man in town. I bought the Maytag MBF2254HEW with the icemaker at Menards in Sycamore, Il. Well the icemaker quit in August of 2008 and I did not say a word just shut unplugged it. Well in July 2009 I can not even keep a gallon of milk in my house with 8 people and 3 of them 3 or under.

So I called Maytag and they told me to call Knodles out of Sycamore, Illinois. I did and was told not to waste my money it would cost over $500.00 to replace the compressor, evaperator, and the heat exchange. If...

Keep in mind that shelving across the refrigerator adds better storage as opposed to a side-by-side design which has split shelving.  Having a freezer on the bottom is practical since it is the refrigerator which is used more frequently.  The top french doors mean that you are saving energy by not having a full-size door open.  The new refrigerators have more depth because of design with no coils to dust off periodically.  This is an energy saving development, as well.  Look for the "Energy Star" symbols.

I have owned about 15 refridgerators in my life (of many different brands), and this Maytag bottom freezer, 25 cubic foot one is the best I have ever owned.  The movable glass shelving is particularly handy - the shelves can be arranged to handle even large wine bottles standing up.  The icemaker is very efficient - keeps us in ice even during parties.  My only complaint is that it feeds ice too fast sometimes, so that the last 2 cubes end up on the floor.  Otherwise I would highly recommend this model to my friends.

after 3 years my matag Bottom Freezer - MBF2254H is sitting empty and unplugged!!!  I have yet to call a repairman. After reading the reviews I would bet the repairs will be expensive.  I am very much let down by the Maytag quality.  Wished I would have read consumer reports beforehand.   I had also purchased a dryer and washer...Maytag brand...dryer burned up three months ago. What brand?  Maytag.

My Maytag Refrigerator with the bottom freezer is a great

refrigerator, never have any problems with it.  It however likes to

make knocking sounds-especially at night when I'm up alone.  It sounds like someone is knocking at the door.  I found it was the freezer.  Don't know why

it does this??

What is inside the fridge should not be visible. And also the bottom refrigerator, it stays as a major disadvantage when childrens are at home. Coz they often tend to open it easily & play with it. Other wise its good, with good internal design, Very spacious, large doors, adjustable shelves, reliable, able to clean very easily.
