I’ve had the same fridge and freezer for over a decade now and when they both started to break down simultaneously (go figure), I decided it was high time I got something better. So I started looking around on the web to see what could replace my obsolete fridge and freezer. In this modern age, it seems that fridges and freezers are hard to purchase separately. They’ve pretty much completely merged into integrated fridge freezer combos. I was surprised to learn this, but I don’t mind at all. One machine to fulfill the task that was once done by two, all the while taking up less space! Sounds fantastic!

Maytag SOV628ZB Fridge Freezer – Review

I was shocked to learn the prices of these American style fridge freezers online. There are literally hundreds to choose from, where the cheapest are around $500. I had somebody tell me that the Maytag company was pretty much the go-to authority when it came to fridges. Not wanting to purchase a fridge that was going to break down quickly, I decided to save up and shell out for a high-tech fridge. I have bought the Maytag SOV628ZB Fridge Freezer and I am not sorry that I did.

This is one very large fridge freezer, mind you. You have to make sure you’ve got room in your kitchen for this one, because it’s not going to fit everywhere. Not only is this American fridge freezer fantastic at preserving food and keeping it very cold, it also has a very classy design. The door is in sort of a zig-zag shape. This makes it so that there is the most storage space at the top of the refrigerator. I like this, because now I don’t have to bend at the knees whenever I want to quickly grab a snack from the fridge.

The interior itself is spacey and well lit. There are 4 tempered glass shelves, all of which have spill guards. The door itself also has a few balconies to store all sorts of stuff. It has an egg tray and a dairy compartment. The two crisper drawers have humidity control. The pantry draw has a zero degree option. There is also an in-built frost freezer, in which you can freeze your food extra fast. There is nothing this American fridge freezer cannot do. It even dispenses cold water and ice cubes. And it’s got controls to let you set the desired temperature and a fancy LED display that will show you the actual interior temperature in real time! Now that’s a fridge!
