Fits perfectly in my small kitchen; light enough to set atop a single drawer unit which contains my flat bakeware items, but still short enough to easily reach my 2 wicker baskets of dry goods.
And so quiet...can be in the same room and still not hear it running. My electric bill dropped significantly...

There are very few refrigerators in this size range. This one comes out on top in terms of price and low energy usage. I've had mine for two years without requiring service.
I wish Kenmore made a frost free version of this, though. Defrosting is a hassle.
The freezer box is tiny, only 1.08 cubic feet...

We purchased this refrigerator for a teacher's lounge in a small school, and it is perfect. We have just enough room for casseroles, frozen lunches, snacks, sodas, etc. It is slim in design and just tall enough to be the perfect height to place a microwave on top. Do not hesitate to purchase this refrigerator. It only costs a few dollars more than a "dorm" refrigerator but offers so much more space and versatility. It's a great buy! We are all very satisifed with this purchase. This refrigerator is regularly used by four-six people.
I recently bought this fridge to replace an old 3.4 cub ft fridge. The manual said to put the thermostat on "3" and wait 24 hrs before it is cool enough to put food/beverages in. I did as directed and checked it 4 hours later and it was already 35 degrees. Seems to be very energy efficient, I rarely hear the motor kick on. Well designed door shelves and adjustable shelves.
Overall I am happy with this refrigerator. It will not freeze items in the freezer compartment if the frige is set to the lowest setting. But at the #2 setting it will freeze water in the freezer. It is not as quiet as I had hoped, so it might not be a good choice if you are sleeping in the same room and a sensitive sleeper. But otherwise no problems.
I purchased this refrigerator for a boat house at the lake. It's the perfect size (bigger than the dorm refrigerators but not too big). It holds a lot of adult beverages and pop. It replaced an old, old energy hog and I think it will pay for itself pretty quickly. I bought it based on the compact size, the positive reviews, the price and the energy consumption estimates. I haven't used the freezer and we don't open and close the main door a lot, so I don't think the need to defrost often is going to be an issue here. I haven't seen an ice build up yet. I'm happy with my purchase so far. My opinion......

We've only had this fridge for a few months, but so far so good. We are using it in a makeshift kitchen in the house while our real kitchen is being renovated. For the size, it is very spacious inside. It keeps the food very cold on just the middle setting. While it is advertised as a fridge (no freezer) it does have an "icebox" with a door on the top. The "icebox" does keep some things frozen but not cold enough to keep ice cream frozen solid, though cold enough so that it doesn't turn to liquid. It runs very quietly and has a surprising amount of space including 4 rows of door space, 4 shelves...

I have only had this product for about 2 months. So far it works GREAT! Its quiet and does not take up too much space. Because of the adjustable shelves, I can get as much as I need into the space. So far so GOOD!!!
This Refrigerator came in 3 days, very quick, very effecient.. i have enjoyed it,. it is small, but there are only two us living at this resident, so it is perfect.. i have read other reviews about the freezer dept. and i don't have any problems with the freezer staying cold.. as a matter of fact, it stays very cold, and we keep the temperature on 3, and our drinks have ice in them sometimes... i would recommend to anyone who is downsizing, or just needs small appliance... thanks
I've had this refrigerator for almost 3 years. I wanted an apartment-size refrigerator that was energy-efficient, without paying premium price. This size is rare in these United States, which is a shame because it is more than large enough for 2 people. We live in town, and buy fresh veggies weekly at the local farmers' market; we don't try to stock up for 3 months at a time at Sams Club. (By European standards this is a giant refrigerator, but I digress.) After having it almost 3 years, it has been basically trouble-free (knock on wood).
Although this refrigerator does not meet Energy Star, consider...

Our 7 year old 21cu. ft. fridge broke down and was discarded. Only one of us is employed at the moment so we decided to go small and inexpensive. Great choice. This "little" unit surprised both my wife and myself at how spacious and solidly built it is. Full length door means lots of space for bottles and small items. Easy to transport. I picked up this unit at a local Sears hardware and put it in my hatch back Daewoo Lanos. No delivery charges! We now know that we really do not need a big power hungry fridge. At 9.5cu.ft. and about 1.5 amps. we are very happy. Think about it, you too may realize...

Since I have a chest freezer this is the perfect size refrigerator for my apartment, I can even put my microwave on top and save even more space.
We ordered this from sears.com and picked up from store. It is a nice refrigerator, very quiet and not running all the time like the older one we toss out.
They said that every 10 years you should replace your refrigirator and air conditioning units. I am convinced after buying this one.
We picked it up from store and not too heavy and can be easily carried by a minivan.
The only complaint I have is that we disconvered the door is little dented during unpacking it in our office. Not worth the trouble to go back to store, but it is an issue.
It is everything said about it and more. We are using it in a 5th wheel recreational vehicle. It takes less space and has 1.5 times more space inside than the previous refrigerator. We are accustomed to silent absorbtion refrigerators and expected it to make noise but it seems to be silent. It's very handy to use, the controls are easy to see and it really cools. We have enjoyed it.
This is the best fridge you can get when space is at a minimum. I worked in regrigeration for over 20 years - the big benefit of this fridge besides space-saving is low energy consumption. As for defrosting, you just have to get used to doing it now and then - good excuse to clean it anyway. Never use a sharp object. Defrosting will depend on how humid it is where you live and how often you open it - but, again, defrosting isn't a big deal.
