Anyone have any review of the Kenmore brand, especially their fridge?. I am looking to pull the trigger on this item, it is a great price. Just wanted to hear pros /cons if any.

Just FYI, this fridge is made by LG.

What does that mean? It's good, bad or ugly item?

I just want to point out the original manufacture, didn't mean to say whether it's good or bad. LG's quality is decent. They had quality issues a few years ago, but recent years have been good. I am planning to buy a similar LG, but that one is about $1700 when it's on sale. The only advantage with that one is that the left upper door has 3 additional shelfs.

I bought an LG French Door on Black Friday last year and have been very happy with it. It's VERY quiet and well thought out. The biggest problem is pretty minor - ice cubes freeze together and have to be broken up every once in a while. Other issues are quibbles - there are shelf braces that can block tall items and the ice cube storage space is fairly small. I'd buy it again. If the Sears model is of similar quality it should be a great deal.

Is this a stainless steel fridge? It's a little hard for me to tell from the picture and the description doesn't include a color.

went to buy this today but the icemaker takes up too much of the inside door space for my liking. it would drive me nuts so i didnt buy it it was made well and looked like a solid fridge, and great price.

This says "ultra satin" as the finish in the details....perhaps not true SS, FYI.

I bought this fridge about 5 years ago. Random info follows: Only minor issue I have is that the ice maker does not get in a big rush to make ice. But there is a bin in the freezer to just dump the ice in periodically. Also the drawers are made of the hard plastic and I guess the cold over the years has caused them to chip some. I need to check into getting those replaced... but overall I would not hesitate to buy again. Love the doors and the freezer in the bottom. Shelves are adjustable and so are the ones in the door. Easy to clean inside and out. I do have the extended warranty, and had one major issue: the lights that come on when you open the doors are covered with a clear plastic cover. Somehow the lights came on and melted the plastic badly and heated up the fridge. Repairman did confirm that this was a reported defect. He ordered and replaced the whold insert and placed in the appropriate watt of bulbs. Factory bulbs did not specify watt rating. But the Sears service was excellent-got a technician out the next day... I am sure they worked all those kinks out by now. Also the water filters are reasonable but don't need to be changed as often as they recommend. Kept mine in for about 2 years. We use ours regularly in the summer, rarely in the winter--water tasted great up till replacement of filter, and did not notice a change in water quality after I put in the new one. If mine wasn't so new I would jump on this deal...!!!!!!

Great price for a french door fridge with water dispenser on the front.

I bought an Amana AFF2534FES for about the same price as this (with no front water).

Picked up a similar model last year (http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/expired-deals/1025534/) didn't include the thru the door ice but does have water. Picked it up for about $960. We've been very happy with it. It's very quiet and keeps stuff cold!

My wife and I have owned this fridge for a couple of years....might be one or two model years older. only issue we have with it is the Freezer is a bit small...we always feel like we could use more freezer space

We have the Kenmore Elite version of the same fridge from about 20 months ago. I can't believe they haven't addressed the ice make/water dispenser issue. It's frustrating that you can't fit a full size cup into the dispenser. But for the price and the other benefits of the fridge, we bought smaller drinking glasses.

I have the first model, w/o the metal doors and the ice maker in the freezer, so a little more space up top. We got the counter depth so not as big. We love this frig. The filtered water is great. Also note - a large pizza box fits in the bottom drawer.

Ordered one last night for the MIL. Be aware that the item # of the landing page is item # 04671023000, but if you click on the "metallic" color, it is a different item # ( 04671026000). The chat rep stated that that 04671023000 is true stainless steel, the other is not.Just a FYI

is this conuter depth? i need one for less space. man. counter depth are so expensive.

Magnets stick to the metallic finish one, not to the Stainless steel one (or not always).

ronniiii said:   Do you know why one would prefer the Stainless Steel over the Metallic?

Stainless is more of a fashion statement, looks good and costs more money. Metallic tries to have that look without the additional cost over stainless. Personally if I had a choice between the two, I'd either go cheap, white/black or stainless, not something in between.

Just went to Sears and compared the stainless and metallic. Metallic is basically a sliver color finish, not shining like stainless. In my opinion, stainless looks better.

i was just going to ask the same... it doesnt specify the width.

This deal is live again. I'd be all over this deal if it fit.
BTW They list this one frig(04672036000)as counter-depth even though the Depth w/o Handle is 31.75 inch.

I am going to have to wait for a counter depth of 27.5 inch.
