"Worth the Price I Paid, but Nothing More"
I have owned this refrigerator since Black Friday (November of 2010). I waited nearly 10 hours in the frigid Wisconsin temp for this refrig. It has great features, but some issues as well. The strengths include a beautiful stainless finish, convenient ice and water dispenser, and great bottom freezer. The dispenser is easy accessed, has a great push-button selector, and a light for dispensing. It also has an LED display for freezer and fridge temps. The issues are that the ice maker takes up the entire left french door. Due to the freezer, the upper fridge portion does not handle tall containers (milk, juice, lemonade, etc.). We had to clear nearly all shelves on one side of the fridge to make room for these tall containers. This then eats up the amount of stuff we can hold. Overall, the looks and other features of this fridge make it worth the amount I paid for it ($1,000). I wouldn't, however, pay what they are currently asking for it (between $1,500-1,900). Look for something without the wasted space caused by the dispenser.

"Our Kenmore Refrigerator Has Been Great!"
Our Kenmore Coldspot Refrigerator is 8 years old and we are very happy with it. It looks great, keeps everything nice and cold, is nice and roomy, and the ice maker works great (many refrigerators have problems with their ice makers). One thing that I really love is that the drawer on the bottom keeps things REALLY COLD - like almost frozen. It's great for fruit and vegetables that tend to spoil quickly - the drawer really helps keep them fresh as long as possible. There is plenty of room in the freezer - I like how it has baskets that slide out so stuff doesn't get "lost" in the back. The only thing I dislike about it is that it's a tight fit to get a pizza box in, but other than that, no complaints. We've never had to repair it - it's worked like a charm for 8 years so far, and we would definitely buy this same brand again and recommend it to friends.

"Standard fridge"
I've owned my Kenmore Bisque for about five months now. It is an OK refrigerator; it just lacks any sort of bells or whistles. I like the artificial stainless steel it's easy to maintain and keeps the cost of the unit low. The recessed handles are nice as well they sit too high on the refrigerator for my toddler to reach. I just can't help but want an external dispenser for Ice and water or a bottom door freezer. I shouldn't fault the Bisque for that though it functions quite well, My family and I have jam packed the freezer full of food several times with no sign of icing or drop in cooling power. I think Kenmore did a very good job of efficiently using space in this model as well. I do my grocery shopping about once a month and I never have trouble fitting thing in. I usually have room for a three gallon pot of soup on top of it which is a lot more than I can say for my old fridge that was a few inches wider by the way.

"White Kenmore side by side review"
I have owned this refidgerator for a little over a year now and it works great. The side by side doors allow easy access to the fridge and the freezer. The ice maker works great, it always keeps the ice tray full. The adjustable shelves work great and provide you with the space to fit whatever you need in your fridge. I would recommend this fridge to anyone, it has been great!

Review:
"A needed addition to my home."
I purchased my current refrigerator back in 2009 to replace my previous one which had been leaking. The main reason I like my refrigerator is that while it was cheap it wasn't in terms of quality, at least compared to my old one. I love how it is built with the freezer on top like I'm used to, not split vertical like most new refrigerators. It has a ice maker and a fountain. Another cool feature is that the shelfs on the door can be adjusted to any height on the door or removed. It's even easy to clean and doesn't stain. My only problems are that said fountain is in the inside of the refrigerator and one of the poseable shelfs broke but luckily it came with an extra one. Kenmore is a mainstay brand and it is easy to see why as by how satisfied I am. It might not be perfect but it is definitely worth it.

"Kenmore Elite refrigerator review"
I bought my Kenmore Elite refrigerator around 4 years ago. The pros to this unit are that it is an energy star unit, which especially important living in Florida, and it has plenty of volume. Also, the layout of the cabinets and pull out drawers are very neat and organized, which is nice knowing where everything is at all the time without have to search for food every time you need something. The only con to this refrigerator would be the ice maker. In the past 4 years, the ice maker has gone out twice; for what reason I do not know. Browsing the internet it seems ice makers are not very reliable in any refrigerator, but this one seems especially unreliable. Other than the ice maker, nothing else has broken so I haven't needed to repair anything. I would certainly recommend a Kenmore brand refrigerator to a friend, but I might look at ice maker reliability before I bought another one.

"Happy Kenmore Elite Refrigerator Owner"
I have owned my Kenmore Elite Refrigerator since 2005. I have been really happy with the outcome of this refrigerator. It is roomy and is a energy star fridge so it doesn't run your electric bill sky high. This fridge has lots of room and lots of drawers to store stuff. It has a great ice maker and water filtration system on the front door. I can also lock it so my child can't get water all over the place. I would recommend this fridge to anyone who has a family; it has lots of room for you to store your food. I would have to say the only thing I don't like about this fridge is the track they used to hold the drawers in place is plastic, and over time pulling the drawers in and out the plastic has broke. I had to replace the plastic track a year ago and wish the tracks would have been metal. Over all I am very happy with this fridge. It is nice and cold and runs great..

"Not the best design but keeps my food cold"
This Kenmore Refrigerator is actually quite wonderful. It keeps everything cold. The only problem is with the design of the door. The bottom shelf (made of plastic) keeps falling off. This seems to be a common problem with older refrigerators, not just the brand. I would recommend this brand of refrigerator.

"Refrigerator Splendor"
My Kenmore refrigerator, which I bought from Sears, is a fabulous machine. I've had the frige for a year and I can't imagine how I was ever able to live with out it. It seems to cater to my every desire, such as keeping my veggies in the vegetable bin cool and crisp as well as, keeping my frozen items nice and icy. Yet, my absolute favorite part is the ice maker on the outside door of the frige. It is constantly stocked with cubes and crushes the cubes every so perfectly. The only slight issue I have had is that the ice maker makes a lot of noise when in use of receiving crushed ice; which unfortunately is quite a ruckus and puts a halt to family conversations. Since I've only had the refrigerator for a year I haven't encountered any problems with it and overall I would recommend the same brand/model to others.

"Great Refrigerator"
I have owned this refrigerator for 8 years now and love it. I have never had to repair anything on this refrigerator and it continues to run very well. The construction is very solid and comes in the standard size I needed to fit. The controls are very user friendly and the temperature settings seem acurate. All of the drawers and shelves are removable making it very easy to clean. The ice maker function of the freezer portion is excelent. It produces ice at a fast rate and holds plenty. The only thing I find myself wishing it had is more room. For the most part, it has plenty of storage, but during the holidays it seems to fill up fast. I would buy this refrigerator again in a heart beat and also have strongly considered Kenmore when purchasing other appliances. I would be confident in recommending this to friends and family.

"My Refrigerator and how it's outdated"
This model refrigerator is a great model; if i hadn't had it when i moved into my current apartment which has been almost fourteen years. the Drawers are of the cheapest plastic so that the crisper and vegetable door snapped off many years ago. i'm not sure if they used faulty screws but almost every single screwed on piece has came off. I've attempted to have it repaired but it just keeps breaking in new areas including the aforementioned crisper but also the butter drawer and the middle section . It does keep my food cold in the refrigeration section but it freezes and burns everything in the freezer section no matter how low i set it. It's also made of a type of plastic that absorbs and retains smells; so the whole unit smells like some kind of Indonesian kitchen. I would not buy this model again nor would i recommend it to a friend, family or even a neighbor.

Review:
"Oldie but goodie (I think!)"
I have to be honest. I don't know how old this refrigerator is. I moved into my current house a little more than six months ago and the refrigerator came with it. I couldn't find any information on how old it is, but after looking at the design though, it probably is from the 1990s. So far I like it, mainly because it's running and keeps our food fresh and cold. The freezer section works well too and doesn't overfreeze like some models do. One complaint I do have is the temperature regulation control. I understand that the bottom drawer is supposed to be a little cooler than the top because that's where you keep meat, but the difference between the bottom and top of the fridge temperatures can be a little bit extreme which is annoying when you are trying to get a balanced temperature. One other thing that I wouldn't necessarily consider a complaint, but does have me a little worried is the whirring noise it makes occasionally. It sounds as if the motors are straining but usually never lasts more than a few seconds. I don't know if this refrigerator has ever been repaired or not as the original owner never left any notes about it. Even though I haven't had it for long, I am going to trust the Kenmore name and I believe I would recommend it as a worthwhile purchase. These few hang-ups are the only thing keeping me from giving it a "very satisfied" rating.

"Kenmore Refrigerator"
I have owned my Kenmore refrigerator for a little over 3 years now and I like that it is very low maintenance. My refrigerator came with a built-in water filter, the water is very clean and always cold. My only complaint about this refrigerator is that I have to replace the water filter very often(about once a month)and the filters are fifty dollars each. I have only had to repair the refrigerator once because I was being careless and dropped a watermelon on the bottom shelf and broke it. I called Kenmore and they sent me a new shelf the next day. I would definitely recommend this refrigerator to a friend because of it's longevity and Kenmore has some of the most friendly customer service representatives I have ever talked to and they are very fast at delivering any broken parts as long as your refrigerator is still under warranty.

"This Fridge has lasted forever!"
This refrigerator has lasted me 4 years! When It's time to clean out the fridge all I have to do is throw the drawers and shelves in the dishwasher. There's also a shelf right in the middle of the freezer which makes it so nice to keep things in easy to grab places and not have to dig through the whole freezer just to find a bag of veggies. The only down side is that it can be really loud. About a year after I bought It you could hear it click when it came on and you can hear the fan running the second you walk into the kitchen. But it is such a great deal for the price. It has lasted me so long and the noise is the only thing I don't like about it!

"Kenmore Enery Star"
I have had my Kenmore Energy Star fridge for a bout a year now and I am not as satisified with it as I thought I would be. I have always liked the side by side look because I do not like the bottom freezer because it is too low. With this fridge, there is not enough room on the freezer side for frozen pizzas and it is really hard to fit them in. Also it is hard to fit frozen meats that come in big packages. I do enjoy the fridge side as it has many shelves and plenty of room for things. The bottom drawers are nice and wide for fruits and veetables. I once even fit a watermelon in it. The thing I enjoy most about the fridge is that it is Energy Star approved and is said to save me money by saving energy. I have never had to do any repairs on it but it is only a year old. At this point I do think I would spend more money to get more room in my fridge rather than spending the money for a Energy Star approved fridge. I am still interested in Kenmore but wouldnt particularly recommend my model to someone else.

"The Kenmore Model 106 Side by side refrigerator is an attractive unit with lots of features"
When we purchased our home, the appliances came with it. They were approximately five years old. We have owned it for one year.This is an extremely attractive, expensive looking refrigerator. It has easy to clean stainless steel doors with black handles. The water and ice feature in the door is very convenient. The water has a filtration system in it so the water is always fresh and pure, tastes great. There is an indicator light on the water dispenser to let you know when the filter is close to needing a change, and when it is time to replace it. Replacement is very easy, filters are inserted in side the door with one simple turn. The glass shelves inside the refrigerator make it easy to see your groceries and easy to clean. There is a drawer for meats and two crisper drawers to keep your produce nice and fresh. The crisper drawers have their own temperature control, an awesome feature, that allows you to keep stay fresher longer. With lots of shelves in the door, there is plenty of space to put all those little bottles and jars that condiment lovers tend to collect as well as a few gallon of milk. One thing that I didn't like about this refrigerator is that the water filter costs around $63.00, which I found a little pricey, but it lasts for almost a year. The freezer part of this combo is small. The ice maker stores ice on the door. When the door is opened frequently, the ice tends to melt and glob together making it impossible to get out. I would probably buy this refrigerator again, although I would probably get a model that didn't have the ice storage on the door.

"Kenmore French Door Refrigerator Offers In-door Ice Dispenser Without Sacrificing Space"
I have owned my french door Kenmore refrigerator for 3 months. What I like the most about this refrigerator is that the ice maker is in the door and is very thin so that narrow shelves are still available for food storage on the inside of the door. The ice maker makes small cube ice cubes instead of the typical half circle shape and I much prefer them in my drinking glass. I also like that since the refrigerator is on the top, it is easily accessible. On the flip side, the freezer is on the bottom and more difficult to access. It is harder than I expected to keep organized. In the refrigerator compartment there are a number of drawers, which take away from the overall height available for the shelves. I think this option was the best one available when I purchased it and it has not yet needed repairs. Overall, I am happy with it. Before I recommended it to a friend I would advise checking out new models for one without the full width pantry drawer in the refrigerator compartment. We looked for one but could not find one that still had the other features we wanted!

"Can more go wronge with Kenmore"
I've had this refrigerator for about 4 years.One thing i can say is that this model is very quiet.Other then that its been a headache.From day one it leaked water onto the inner right side on to food and such.I had a service man come and check it out and he ashured me it was just condensation. Well after 2 days the condensation filled a medium side soup bowl. I called back and they came with a replacement.So far so good till about 3 days later i was eating breakfast when i herd water dripping.Well i tracked the dripping to the fridge. when i opened it my food had a coating of ice a quarter inch thick on it an water had filled up my meat draw.One thing i can say is that my food stays nice n cold .I defenitly wouldn't buy another of this type or model and I would tell other to steer clear as well.

"My Kenmore Refrigerator"
I have owned my Kenmore refrigerator for almost three years. I like that it is just simple inside, and not alot of shelves and gagets to clean around. It is self defrosting and doesn't aquire alot of maitenance. I have not had to re-adjust the temperature setting since I bought it. I also like my automatic ice maker. The one thing that I dislike about it is that my family has grown in the last three years and I wish I would have gotten a larger capacity refrigerator. Other than that there is not really anything that I dislike about this refrigerator. I have not had to or had to have any repairs done to it. If I had to, I would buy this make and model. But then again I would probably buy a larger capacity Kenmore. And I would recommend this make and model to a friend or another family member. I am very pleased with my Kenmore refrigerator.
