Pros: Great look, get a whole freezer by it's self. Good cost for the look.
Cons: Doesn't hold large items well. Water leakage and temperature a problem in the refrigerator.
The Bottom Line: Overall it's a nice units if you can get one with a square door. Inexpensive way to get a high end look.

| ttocsyar's Full Review: Kenmore Elite 44723 Stainless Steel (16.8 cu. ft.)... |
We purchase this product because we have owned Kenmore products with good success. This look is impressive and we had the space to house it. We have owned it for a year and have had to have Sears out 6 times between either a service call or deliver issues. On the first refrigerator the door was not placed correctly therefore the metal strip between the 2 units keep the freezer door propped open causing frost to build up. After careful inspection the problem was discovered (by my husband).According to service it couldn't be fixed. It is a factory issue. The holes for the door and the box that are punched out, at the factory ,to accommodate the hinge caused the door to not line up with the box. Therefore, when trying to align the door gaps between the fridge and freezer to accommodate the magnetic strip it created another problem. The door was not parallel with the floor or the surrounding trim kit. If you make the door parallel with the floor and trim kit the magnetic strip holds the freezer open. I would make sure the doors are square with the box prior to bringing home. If you aren't using the trim kit it won't be an issue. It also leaked water from the bottom right corner onto my floor . With the box not level it added to the water leakage problem. After 4 frustrating attempts to deliver a new one (3 due to crooked door again) I thought all was well. The new fridge wouldn't hold it's temperature after about 3 months. Service was out again to replace the compressor. Also the water leakage had continued to be an ongoing problem finally the service man caulked underneath to help prevent it. So far it hasn't leaked anymore. Also it doesn't hold pizza boxes well. The depth of the bottom self doesn't allow you to hold anything to large or the door won't shut. The freezer is the best part. Love the freezer! No problems out of it at all. If you buy the unit purchase the extended warranty on it.
