Overall Rating
OVERVIEW: Asmuch as we loved the styling of this side by side refrigerator, one of the thingsthat was the most dissappointing was the amount of noise that it made.We think it can be minimized, but we haven't figured out how.It could have been just the fridge freezer at the store had a problem.
The Fresh n' Clean fan feature was nice because itkeeps the fridge smelling clean even when stuffed to the gills withfood.
STYLE: Forthe price range, we found this Kenmore Refrigerator had sleek stylingthat would greatly enhance any kitchen decor.Only the stainless steel color was available, but we couldn't imagineit any other way.
CAPACITY: This Kenmore Fridge Freezer has a 26 cubic footinterior which was more than ample.
The 9.5 cu. ft. freezerwas larger than most in this category, but the water and ice dispensertook up most of the excess space.
NOTABLEFEATURES: As mentioned above, the Fresh n' Cleanfeature keeps this Kenmore Fridge Freezer smellinggreatno matter how much food you have in there by keeping fresh airfiltering in.
The Dual Split Humidity Control Crispers wasanother great innovation that helps keep this fridge in a class byitself.
COLORS: Thisunit is only available in stainless steel.While we found it quite impressive looking, you should be aware that fingerprints were clearly evidenton the door face (constant wiping required to keep it looking clean) and the door handle seemed to already be fading.
EFFICIENCY:As for it's energy efficieny it is ENERGY STAR qualified.
You'll also be able to save money with this refrigerator due to the current Energy Star Rebates that are being offered as a part of the American Reivestment and Recovery act.
