I love this freezer!  It is the perfect size, not too big and not too small.  It took some time to talk my husband into buying a freezer for our basement, but now he loves it.  He loves stocking up in the freezer section when there are good buys.  The freezer is quiet, I never hear it running and...

Kenmore 7.2 cu. ft. Chest Freezer Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 60 in total

I highly recommend this product.  I did as much research as I could before buying it, and concluded that it was the best freezer on the market for the price.  I like it even better now that I own it.  It really is impressively well constructed--much better than a comparable General Electric model that I saw at **********--and it has a lot of space, even though it is a relatively small chest freezer.  It will allow us to save money by purchasing cheaper products and storing them, and also offers a great deal of convenience--no more running out of items we use!

I am amazed at how much fits in this freezer! We still haven't filled it!  The only drawback is the depth (I am only 5 ft tall).  I have a hard time reaching into the bottom to get things out.  The picture does not do justice to how much space there is inside.  It keeps everything very well frozen, even at a low setting.  There is a humming noise from the unit, but with eight people in the house, a small mechanical hum is really lost in the rest of the shuffle.  Personally, I am not sure that another basket would help the organization, when you are piling things up in a chest freezer.  I...

I bought this freezer to store pork from a hog we processed. The freezer is full, but it held the entire processed hog - well over 150 lbs of meat. It is very quiet, and once cold it really doesn't run much (I guess that depends on how often you open the freezer). It is such a great size and doesn't take up much room. I've had it a month and absolutely no complaints.

We purchased this freezer on-line and picked it up at a nearby Sears store. The box fit easily into my SUV. The freezer was easy to assemble and is working just fine.  In the month that we have had it, there have been no problems, and you can barely hear it running.  We have not adjusted the temperature setting from the preset position. It is the perfect size to store all the fruits and veggies from our garden and a whole lot more!

I love my freezer

I love my Kenmore freezer.  I bought the warranty but it has not given any problems and I couldn't be happier.  I now can take advantage of all the sales on frozen foods and not worry about a place to keep them.  Thank you Sears for continuing to make outstanding Kenmore products.

7.2 cubic Feet Freezer

Love it, glad I made the investment. It's quiet, and has plenty of room to store, two removal sliding bins would have been nice. Fits perfect in the allocated space in the dining area of my condo. Didn't take long to freeze newly placed items. Would have preferred to have a color option besides white (black) but it will serve its purpose.

A bought a Kenmore 7.2 cu. ft. Chest Freezer when we moved into a larger home and finally had extra space for a separate freezer. We always ran out of space in our normal fridge before getting the chest freezer. We ordered itonline and picked it up at Sears when we got our alert that it was in. They loaded it up into the van for me and it took two people to unload it and set it up. After letting it sit for 3 hours upright I plugged it in. In a matter of only a couple of hours it was ready. I had set it on 5 outta 1 through 7 temp. control and it froze everything I had in there rock solid. I had...

Just in time for the ice cream sale!

As full time RVers, refrigerator and freezer space is always in short supply. This freezer will ultimately be protected, but stored outside. The manual swears that our local temperatures are in a range not to affect it's function. I sure hope so! Otherwise, we are extremely pleased with the capacity, quiet operation, and overall performance to date. Agreed, additional baskets...even two tiers would be wonderful!!!

Great Freezer for the Price

Excellent freezer if you're looking for something affordable. I was a little bit let down that there was just a plastic basket and no shelving in this freezer. If you fill it up, you're going to do some digging for food. The freezer doesn't run very often, but when it does it is very quiet. I've only had the freezer for a month, but I am very happy with it so far.

No interior light on this model

This freezer is so quiet you don't know when it is running. It seems to be everything people are claiming. My only problem is that it does not have a light inside. I shopped and looked at dozens of freezers and when I finally chose, I seemed to have missed the lack of that feature on this model. But, for the money, it is an exceptional product. Just wish I had bought the one with the light. My mistake.

Perfect for us

We ordered ship to store...got here exactly when it was supposed to. No shipping charges! Was lightweight enough for just my husband and myself to carry to the basement. Was set up in fifteen minutes. Was down to 0 degrees F in 1.5 hours. Plenty of room and super quiet...I have to check the light to make sure it's on! Very happy with this freezer, and feel good knowing it's a Kenmore.

KENMORE 7.2 CHEST FREEZER

This unit runs so quit I had to lay on the floor to hear it. I liked the basket ,but ordered a second one. I ordered on line and had it delivered to a near by store. It was delivered on time.This little freezer is so neat and holds a lot of products. It is my second freezer and I have it placed in my garage for garden harvest and extra meat.
