This freezer was a great purchase. My kitchen design limits the size of refrigerator that I can install, and I prefer to make fewer but larger trips for food shopping, so I am usually short on freezer space-NOT ANY MORE. This freezer is small but has alot of space, and was very easy to put in my basement. And kudos to the delivery guys- I ordered several appliances at once, and they were quick, knowledgeable, polite and a genuine pleasure to have in my home. I have only just received it, but my family has been using Sears for our appliance needs for years, and we have never had problems.

I bought this Freezer in November, 2008. Up until now, it's been a great freezer - plenty of room, quiet, low energy consumption, does the job well. BUT...here it is, early October 2010 (not even 2 years old) and my temperature alarm comes on. I noticed a little bit of frost accumulating inside, so I empty it and defrost it. After it's totally defrosted and dried out, I pugged it back in, and notice the compressor wasn't coming on. I tried to adjust the temperature control, all to no avail. Unit gets power, but the compressor won't run. So, now I've got a Sears repairman coming out. Can't wait to see how much THIS costs.
If you buy one, GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I didn't - because I never need use it. Until now.

I purchased the Kenmore 8.8 chest freezer 3 or 4 years ago. This was one of the best decisions I've made. The black color blends with any decor. The size is great (space saving ). Even though its manual defrosting I have no problems. I can purchase in large quantities and I'm always prepared for my grandchildren with frozen treats. This unit also has 2 baskets so everything is organized. I grew up in a household filled with Sears appliances.
Sears has been and continues to be a brand you can trust and depend on.

I have been wanting a freezer for quite a while, but couldn't decide what type or size to get. So first I asked my maintenance co-workers about upright vs. chest freezers - pros and cons. Then I decided on a chest freezer. Sears had the nicest little black chest freezer (8.8 ft) that would fit perfectly in my kitchen and coorindates with my black refrigerator, stove, and microwave, and black room accents. A white freezer would have looked awkward.
The freezer was easy to unload and move into the kitchen, and easy to remove the packing box. I knew when I ordered the freezer that it did NOT have adjustable feet. I wish that it did. My floor is level (I checked) and the freezer leaned forward onto the 2 front rounded feet, with the back feet totally off the floor. The instructions said that the freezer must be level or the freezer could misalign and the lid would not seal properly. I had to get some temporary shims to level the front left side of the freezer. I will eventually make a more permanent shim.
Once the freezer was level, I plugged it in. It only took approximately 1 hour for the temperature to reach 0 degrees. One does need a refrigerator/freezer thermometer, as there is no temperature display inside or outside. I have been adding food to the freezer, and it has maintained the 0 degree temperature without fail.
I have only had the freezer running for 1 week, so I cannot provide any review on long term reliability. I am pleased with its performance thus far, and it blends into the kitchen perfectly.
Inspite of the balance issue, I would order this freezer again. I did have the option to have this freezer returned and a new freezer delivered, but I figured that most appliances are not perfectly balanced. And this freezer is not heavily built, which may account for it leaning towards the front.
brand consciousThis freezer is a great choice. It is easy to organize and to use.
This Kenmore 8.8 cu ft Chest Freezer (1694) is black in color and is the reason i chose it because my other appliances are also black, and i also thought great features and would of gave it five stars all the way until two days ago, it has begun making a sound off and on. I just bought one of these in June or July of this year, i believe it was in July. But anyway, i had been very happy with it. Now i haven't heard the sound yet tonight, but the last two nights it has made a not real loud sound, but a sound, i don't know if this is a natural sound, if it is i have never heard it before, and if it isn't then i am not sure what is going wrong with it. It is on level floor in kitchen, and has never been turned upside down, or abused or anything. I have kept food in it great, Matter of fact when i bought it, i went and to the butcher shop and filled the freezer up and the food i have put in it is staying froze, no fluctuality in temperature or anything, food is great. But this sound i heard last night and the night before is worrying me, so as of now, all i can say is i am going to keep an eye on my food and hope if it fails, that it's alarm will work. I paid $316.79 tax and all total price.
