Great refrigerator

I have waited years to own a bottom freezer refrigerator.  After researching for best features and price, I found what I wanted and got a great deal because I bought 5 major appliances at one time.  Overall, this refrigerator performs at expected levels or over expected level.  I have noticed that...

cheap piece of ****

In August 2006, I purchased a Kenmore Trio model 795.77319600. After only four years, it stopped cooling. The Sears service tech said there was a coolant leak inside the case and the repair cost was more than a new refrigerator. The cause, according to him, was the use of cheap materials during...

Kenmore Elite Refrigerator - French Door... Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 27 in total

Just bought the Kenmore Elite-French Door Refrigerator with the Bottom Freezer.  Wow -- very spacious.  There is room for everything in the refrigerator top and great space in the freezer.  I hope it will be very durable and practical as well energy conservative, but these are qualities one can only see after using the refrigerator for awhile.  I am very impressed with the lay out and room.  The clerk said the Kenmore was actually made by Maytag, and I have always been impressed with the workmanship and quality of Maytag appliances.  One complaint though is the ice maker.  If you plan to...

I love this refrigerator! My family and I bought it when it first came out a few years ago and it still works like new. You can store so much food in the freezer and never run out of room.  The fridge has oversized trays and drawers. There is a third really big tray on the bottom of the fridge to put extra big platters.  Even though we don't have much of those it's a great storage place for food.  And, the best thing is you don't have to bend every single time you want to get something! Everything is mostly at eye level and even short people can see and reach what's on the top. The water filter...

I will say I like the design of the selves and the overall concept of the French door bottom freezer.  We did buy the smallest version due to space constraints and the freezer is definitely too small.  If you have too many items in boxes, the pull out drawer does not accommodate them well.

My big issue with this fridge is we have needed to have repairs three times in the three years we have owned it,  Two have been to replace the door seals (both one time and one door the second time) and now the light will not turn off when the doors are closed.  This has caused the lighting compartment...

Love the Kenmore Elite french door stainless refrigerator - tons of space inside and in freezer.  Door alarm is great since kids seem to have a hard time closing the doors!  Like being able to set temps but would also be great to be able to lock the setting somehow since my husband thinks the fridge needs to be the same temp as the freezer!

As a semi-retired real estate broker, a full-time interior designer and general contractor, it is my experience and business to know the best of the best in appliances.  I have 6 refrigerators at my locations (including the few at home), and this particular style and design of French doors, with stainless steel not only provided an overall appeal to the eye, but great funtion in utility.  The spacious bottom freezer, with pull out cage for more compact, organized storage, plus the easy roller provides smooth sliding compared to other manufacturers. 

The intelligent double-french door refrigerator...

Awesome refrigerator!

I have a 2004 model, when they were called Trio and absolutely love it.

My new townhome came with appliances but I opted for gas (oven & dryer) so I was able to upgrade them all. I knew I wanted the biggest fridge I could get when I walked into Sears. When I saw the Trio / French door my decision was made. 

Anyone shopping for appliances should buy a french door fridge. The amount of available space inside is outstanding, especially the bottom freezer. Move the shelves around and you can put milk and large bottles on the bottom shelf, in addition to the doors. I use my chiller drawer to store...

I have all Kenmore appliances, washer, dryer, everything in the kitchen even down to the crockpot and toaster. But this fridge is my one single most favorite Kenmore of all the ones I have purchased. It is also the first black one I bought, but I then went on to buy all else in black too! It is the first thing everyone who walks into my kitchen notices and comments on. Every person who has ever seen it makes a big fuss about it and just loves it too. The double doors on top with a freezer on the bottom has been the most convenient I have ever had in my life. I LOVE  not having to bend down for...

Our first experience was good. Our sales person, Elbert was very helpful and courteous. Delivery of Refrigerator and stove happened as scheduled. The delivery people were pleasant and very proficient in their delivery. We're only into the use of the appliances for the second day -- so more later.

The Kenmore Elite-French Door Refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom is very roomy inside.  It is on rollers so it is not too hard to push around.  It maintains the proper temperature very well in both the frost free freezer and in the refrigerator section also.  I really do like it.

We bought this Kenmore french door frig this year & it's fabulous.  Roomy enough for us, fridge shelves at eye level, great deli drawer...big!  Fridg shows cold temp as well a freezer temp in a digital display.  has door ajar alert.  Since we had a 25 cu ft Kenmore freezer already, the bottom freezer is just great...plenty big enough for daily items, as well as tons of frozen leftovers, breakfast foods, juice, et.  One of the best we've owned!

Been a loyal sears customer for more than 40 years...

Great product!

This product met all of our expectations: big bottom freezer, french doors, icemaker, water dispenser, and temperature controls for fruits and vegetables.  This product has been great and we have had it for over a year with no problems!
