Amana, Maytag and Whirlpool all the same company. Basically you have a
choice between those, which are identical or LG which also makes some
Kenmore. I've heard parts problems with LG.
My Amana/Maytag bottom freezer with french doors is about 3 years old and
has been perfect so far. The LG looks kind of cheap and according to
Consumer Reports, cheated to get high energy star ratings.
