Kenmore 5896 Side by Side Refrigerator


  • OVERVIEW:  The Kenmore 5896 Side by Side Refrigerator is one our favorites in the Kenmore line.  The styling might be lacking a bit, but the functionality and capacity were quite impressive for the price.  If you have a growing family, this might be the perfect choice.



  • STYLE:  This was the one area that we found this particular fridge freezer was lacking.  There's truly nothing overwhelming about the style choices made on this model, but if functionality were style, this model would get some serious points.
  • CAPACITY: This Kenmore Fridge Freezer has a 25.4 cubic foot interior which was ample, but because it was well designed, we found the space seemed quite large.. The 10.0 cu. ft. freezer was larger than most in this category, and the space was well utilized.



  • NOTABLE FEATURES:  The Quiet Cool Technology helped to keep this Kenmore fridge freezer running on the quiet side.  Even in our cement filled test kitchen, its operating noises were at a minimum.  Like in other Kenmore Refrigerators the Pur Ultimate II Water and Ice dispenser generated some of the best quality tasting water and ice in the side by side refrigerator category.



  • COLORS:  This model comes in bisque on bisque (Model # 58964),  Ultra Satin (similar to stainless - Model # 58966), white on white (Model # 58962) and black on black (Model # 58969)



  • EFFICIENCY: It’s ENERGY STAR qualified which means that not only will you save money on your utility bills, you will also be eligible for an Energy Star Rebate.


  • DIMENSIONS: Its dimensions are: DEPTH – 33 7/8in, WIDTH – 35 1/2in, HEIGHT 68 7/8in.



  • MSRP: $1,419.99
