Why the Maytag Ice2O Should Be Your Next Refrigerator

Lisa Thibault Pietsch
When you're tying to find the ingredients you need to make dinner, do you end up like me doing the perpetual stand and squat in front of your refrigerator? Up and down, up and down until you get everything you need and maybe even find a few things you didn't know you had (and some you'd prefer not to). The Maytag Ice2o is by far the best refrigerator on the market today and not forcing you to do the stand and squat is just one of the reasons why. The Maytag Ice2o will turn your kitchen into a place you never knew existed!

At first glance, the Maytag Ice2o is large, but that is a good thing. Have you ever tried to put a platter in one of those skimpy side-by-side refrigerators? Forget trying to defrost a turkey in a side-by-side refrigerator! The Maytag Ice2o has 25 cubic feet of storage. It has the kind of space that families and frequent entertainers need in their refrigerators. The exterior is simple and can be found in a variety of colors to match or accent any kitchen. The fact that the Maytag Ice2o is the first French door refrigerator with a filtered, external ice and water dispenser that gives you purified ice and water at your fingertips doesn't hurt either. Just think of the money you could save on bottled water!

When you open this beauty up, it only gets better!

Swing those French doors open and you'll hear angels singing. OK, maybe not angels, but you might very well hum a happy tune. The doors have bins big enough to hold gallon sized containers which means no more moving the milk to find the ketchup. You can even store a six-pack of your favorite canned beverage in the door too - individually.

This refrigerator is smart too!

The QuadCool electronic temperature system monitors temperatures in the fresh food compartment, freezer and outside the refrigerator and automatically adjusts everything inside it to the appropriate settings to maintain freshness. The thru-the-door water and ice dispenser has the PuriClean II water filter which lets you know with a status light when the filter needs to be changed for consistently clean filtered water and ice. Do your kids like to open the refrigerator and browse for hours on end? No need to worry here. The Ice2o has a child lock and even has a door open alarm for those occasions when somebody forgets to close the door when they're done. This conserves energy as well as preventing food spoilage. The Maytag Ice2o saves you money every time you turn around!

The shelves are "Spill-Catcher" shelves that contain spills for easy cleanup. No more cleaning up the spilled juices off each consecutive shelf! The Easy-Glide shelves bring the food to you and slide forward when you want them to. This means no more contortions to reach into the back of the fridge! There is even an elevator shelf adjust, so you can store tall items that wouldn't normally fit in a refrigerator. Did I mention that you can fit a sheet cake in this beauty?

The FreshLock crisper drawer controls humidity and keeps your produce fresher longer while the Wide-N-Fresh deli drawer, dairy compartment and beverage chiller compartment create additional storage options so you can have a place for everything and everything in it's place.

The freezer for the Ice2o is on the bottom. This is an easy access, glide-out freezer drawer that also contains a slide-out bin organization system. This means you can keep the big stuff on the bottom and the ice cream sandwiches in the top bin where they're handy.

The cherry on the top of this fantastic refrigerator sundae is the QuietSeries 200 sound package that eliminates all those odd little operational noises for a more tranquil kitchen environment.

Can you hear the angels singing now?
