Which is better for a narrow kitchen?

The Whirlpool. It is 33 inches wide, so it fits openings the 36-inch Maytag cannot.

Which has more usable space?

The Maytag, at 24.7 cu ft. The Whirlpool's specs list 21 cu ft even though its name says 25.1 cu ft, so confirm the figure before you buy.

Is the Maytag worth the extra money?

No Maytag price was given, so compare at checkout. The Maytag adds Energy Star certification, a door alarm and a wider fresh food section.

Which is cheaper to run?

The Maytag is Energy Star certified at 685 kWh per year; the Whirlpool is not certified at 659 kWh. The yearly difference is small, so check local rates.

Do either have smart features?

No. Neither lists Wi-Fi or app control.

Neither listing gives a lifespan figure. Both use a single evaporator and automatic defrost, so compare the written warranty at each store.
