Great for my salon

This refrigerator is perfect for my salon. I have 7 employees and we hold our lunches, soda, half and half and plenty of room for extras. Perfect for a very small backroom. Fits like a glove and hold a lot for a small size. I alway buy Kenmore because they never disappoint!

Costly, Noisey-Dies After 14 Months

This unit was purchased to expand the refrigerator space we had in out kitchen. The unit was built into a new granite counter top with cabinets, etc. The unit was always noisy, but many of them are this way. After 14 months of use the unit made a loud noise one night late and then ceased to operate after... read full review »

Kenmore 4.6 cu. ft. Compact Refrigerator Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 17 in total

I purchased this refrigerator for my basement mini-bar and I couldn't be happier. After reading several reviews and checking several competitor's websites, I settled on the stainless steel version of this Kenmore 4.6 cu. ft. fridge. Very sharp! It's great for storing several cases of beverages and has a nice little freezer compartment for keeping your drinks cold with ice. I would definitely recommend this compact fridge to anyone looking for a great brand and outstanding value.

Kenmore 4.6 cu ft Refrigerator:

Well, it arrived in a timely manner, BUT it arrived damaged.  So I took the refrigerator back to Sears and they brought out another one.  Just to be safe we opened the carton and examined this second one--This one was damaged even more than the first one!

Well, they went back and pulled out a third refrigerator.  This time it didn't have any big dents or damage and I finally accepted the product.

It is clear that the packaging does not even come close to protecting your product.   To save a few pennies on the packaging Sears destroyed several refrigerators.  ...

I'm happy with it.

This refrigerator has lived up to my expectations. It has all the room I expected. It keeps the contents at the right temperature and it looks good. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because when I took it out of the box the back right corner was slightly crumpled. This did not affect performance just appearance.

Great little refrigerator

I bought this refrigerator, (in black) as an under-the-counter unit for a small office environment. It's larger than most compact refrigerators and well laid out for storage. The freezer section is very small but I didn't purchase it for the freezer unit, I just needed refrigeration, which it does quite well. I've only had it for a few weeks so I can't comment on long term reliability but I can purchase a Master Protection Agreement for 2yrs for $29.99, which I'll probably do. My only complaint is that it was delivered with a very small ding in the side panel. The packing box was undamaged so... read full review »

Elegant-Priced Rite-Good Buy

I looked @ many different Models & Brands, and this had the most cuFt. @ a Good price, while still looking elegant/great.I read other reviews about dents, etc. So I made sure to open the box before loading, No dents, No scratches, Brand NEW! Took it home, plugged it, does its job. Though the freezer Does NOT keep ice cream hard (how I like it) Guess it lacks power or something, even though I have on the Highest-7 level. All in All, good buy, great looks!

compact refrigerator

We bought this refrigerator as a Xmas gift. It was needed for the beverages and some food that the parents wanted to use for themselves. This was just the right size to fit in the bedroom. The first refrigerator came damaged, probably by the delivery people. A second one had to be reordered. I have been told of no complaints with the refrigerator. It holds their canned sodas, milk and some foods. Would have liked a bigger freezer compartment but since it's a small model, that's ok.

compact fridge review

Great refrigerator, it holds a ton of beverages and looks great. I would recommend spending the extra $10 for the Stainless Steel - easier to hide dust. Only down fall so far is that there is no interior light.

Poor quality

We are now having to send our second refrigerator back within a 2 month period. One never worked and the other has lasted 6 weeks. I highly recommend you NOT purchase this item.

Great spare refrigerator

I have this in my shed to store things that take up too much room in the refrigerator in the kitchen (beverages, etc.) I have also used it to get ready for a party where I have stored things that I have prepared ahead of time. It serves well for both tasks. Very energy efficient compared to the old spare refrigerator. I figure that this one will cost me about $4.00 per month to operate. Even if it is double that, It's still better than the old one which used to cost $29 a month to operate. The sales price of $169 was nothing exceptional as comparable models of other brands go for about the same,... read full review »

Nice spare small refrigerator

I have owned this product for about one month. I use this in my basement for food and drink for get-togethers and to cellar beer. It works great for those purposes and is relatively small and light. The reversible door is a plus as well. I ti s a bit noisy, but it's in a storage room so we don't notice that. Its operating costs are low.

Purchase Protection Plan or Do Not Purchase

I puchased this unit back in Nov. 2007. I had a cabinet custom built around this refrigerator. Everything was great untill shortly after the warranty was expired. The unit now hums a loud noise and no longer cools. Now that the cabinet was built specifically for this unit, I had to repurchase the same model. When I got the new unit home and went to install it I noticed that there were only 2 leveling legs and one was stripped out from the factory. The refrig was brand new in the box. I wil now have to load the refrig. back into the truck and drive it back to the Sears and return it and cross my... read full review »

Almost did the job

This was the first time I bought a compact kitchen appliance so it was kind of a big step. For the first few days it met all my expectations. However, when I tried to store milk based popsicles I found that even the highest setting was insufficient. Overall it is a good product.

Excellent Value

This refrigerator is attractive and the height is perfect for our office kitchen because it acts as a counter/stand for our microwave. Sizewise, it holds quite a bit and we like the vegetable bin and canned drink dispenser in the door. Because there is a larger rack at the bottom, it can hold gallon jugs or in our case, the large can of office coffee! The freezer could be a bit larger, but we don't use it for much so it works for us. Easy to clean surfaces, sturdy construction, and ease of purchase/delivery make this a winner for our office!
