Most Helpful Favorable Review

This is a great freezer. It's quiet, roomy, the spacers are great, and of course it keeps stuff frozen. It costs next to nothing power-wise, and the baskets are spacious and convenient. We're growing our own organic veggies this summer so I'll have a lot of stuff to freeze, and I know this freezer will...

Kenmore 14.8 cu. ft. Chest Freezer (1654) Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 59 in total

My old Kenmore chest freezer of 8 years was still working fine and keeping most of the food frozen. The only reason I replaced it was because the lid had rusted completely through and the inside of the lid was one big chunk of ice making it a super heavy lid to open each time. I wish there was a rust proof option we could apply to those freezers that need to be kept outside the house. Or provide replacement lids that don't cost so much. Our tropical weather in Hawaii is very corrosive to appliances. Although I love my new Kenmore freezer, especially the space dividers that make it so much easier...

Outstanding Freezer

This really is a fine freezer. Just as nice as a chest freezer can possibly be. I really like the adjustable dividers are the inside. It really helps keep different cuts of beef separate, or keeping different meat types separate. I have half a cow plus an entire lamb in mine right now with room to spare. Should be getting half a hog soon which will fit no problem.

Having enjoyed our 23 cu.ft. chest freezer while we were raising our family, I was hesitant to down-size when our 36 year old Kenmore died.  But, our 14.8 cu.ft. freezer is just the right size for retirees with a small garden. 

The adjustable spacers make it easy to organize the storage area and keep items from shifting about.

The only thing I miss is the double tier of wire baskets in our previous model.

Overall good Freezer

Overall good freezer.  We had been looking to down size our older freezer (42 years) for something more economical.  I am a "consumer goods researcher addict" (sometimes overkill).  Miss having metal removable baskets, afraid these plastic ones will break too easily.  I am not disappointed in the purchase and would do it again.

My husband and I reviewed the Consumer Guide and we always go back to buying Kenmore, due to the quality,durability and the overall reputation of the products!  Plus they are economical, compact, and offer the best feature of all, energy star!  Also, we qualified for a free delivery rebate as an added bonus!

I had limited time to order and have this freezer ready by the time my husband returned home from his week long fishing trip. I called in the order, received excellent customer service, got the next day delivery date and was pleased with how smooth the process went! The delivery person...

A freezer well worth the money. Have enjoyed it. Love the dividers in the bottom and the baskets that came with it. Would recommend it to anyone.

so far so good

I like the bins and dividers. Definitely gotta stack discounts and promos. I got it for less than $340.00. Child lock seems a little cheesy (plastic). Lite inside is a bonus.

We just brought home our Kenmore 14.8' Chest Freezer. I am already enthused, as the builtin, adjustable orginizational grids, and moveable baskets seem very workable. I am a long time Kenmore appliance fan Due to their long life and dependable service. The few times they have needed repair, we were able to contact the parts department and have the needed parts delivered within 2 days. We presently own a 16' Kenmore Freezer, and a large Kenmore garage refrigerator. Now with this freezer we will be able to buy an entire side of grass fed beef, and still have plenty of room for our other freezable... read full review »

We purchased this chest freezer to replace one we had for 25 years.  The best feature is the removable baskets and spacers.  It's so nice to find just what you're looking for in short notice.  It's freezing well, too.  We are very pleased with our choice and would recommend it highly.

Great Freezer

I did a lot of research before buying this freezer.  You get a lot of freezer for your dollar spent.  Good size, quite, and does its job.
