First up in this comparison is the Amana 18.5 cu. ft. side by side. While this refrigerator is rated as a consumer best buy and owners do like the build quality and durability, the price in comparison doesn't get you much more. Also the ice-maker is optional on the Amana.

The GE entry comes in much stronger with a factory installed ice-maker, concealed-hinge doors, eco-friendly power options and 1.8 more cu. ft. than the Amana (about the size of a large countertop microwave). The GE refrigerator also comes in at almost $100 less than the Amana.

Rounding out this comparison is the LG side-by-side. This refrigerator is the largest of all in that we compare here at 22.4 cu. ft., a whopping 3.9 more cu. ft. than the Amana. Like the GE this LG also features eco-friendly power options and digital temperature controls and effecient air-flow cooling.

In considering your purchase the stand-out here is the LG. This refrigerator is not only the best value, has the most cubic footage but also has a clean and modern design.
