Kenmore Refrigerator 65234 —
We got this refrigerator in August of 2005 on Family & Friends night. We previously had the fridge that came with the house, and that had been making a big mess all over the floor, so anything new would have been a big improvement.
This was our first bottom-mount refrigerator, and we discovered that storage is much easier in the freezer drawer than in a top-mount freezer, not to mention it's so spacious! We can put a turkey in there and still have room for lots of food. Try that with a top-mount freezer.
The refrigerator cabinet is also very spacious, and offers lots of flexibility for food storage. Everything inside can be easily taken out for cleaning, and the slide-out shelves make getting at the stuff in the back much easier.
The only complaint I have is that when the compressor runs there is a little bit of rattling noise. It's not typical for these or any refrigerators, but it's not affecting operation, either.
I can easily recommend this refrigerator.
