Maytag MSD2576VEM 25.3 cu ft Side-By-Side Refrigerator Review

Front

The Maytag MSD2576VEM is built on a chassis from corporate parent Whirlpool, so its design is similar to Amana, Whirlpool and KitchenAid offerings.

Its exterior is vertical-grain stainless steel, with through-the-door water and ice.

These are some of the most substantial handles we've ever felt. They're more appropriate for opening the doors of a bank vault than a fridge.

A silver colored frame surrounds the Maytag MSD2576VEM's through-the-door water and ice dispenser, which updates the overall look of the fridge's exterior.

Controls are bright orange on a black background, though they don't glow intrusively unless selected.

Interior

Inside is an update of a classic Whirlpool interior. It's a side-by-side, alright: fridge on the right, freezer on the left.

One unique feature on the fridge's door is a beverage cooler. It has a separate temperature control and is meant for storing milk soda or juice.

Ice is made in the top of the freezer and dispensed through the freezer door.

Back

There's a water inlet on the back of the fridge.

Sides

The sides of the fridge are textured and gray.
