Maytag vs Whirlpool Refrigerators
My verdict
If you are looking for ample storage but an appliance that is not too bulky, has practical features, high reliability and good value, the Whirlpool Side by Side model is a definite winner.
In the French Door category, both brands are fairly evenly matched in terms of storage, features and reliability, but there are some innovative features and more available finishes that set the Whirlpool French Door model apart. It’s a premium option with really good features that will not disappoint.
