Kenmore Model 255.1970****

DO NOT BUY!

I expected that this model would still be under warranty because these chest freezers are supposed to last quite a while. Was wrong about that! I spent over an hour on the phone with Sears and they passed the buck around never coming to a resolution.

I heard that they outsourced the manufacturing to china which would explain quite a bit about what went wrong.

I lost about 300 in food and others have been complaining online with no resolution. It is a shame bc was a lot of money! There has also been a energy star recall on this unit.

DO NOT BUY!

Monetary Loss: $300.

I always thought that Kenmore was a highly rated product AND I thought that SEARS backs the customers up. Its a shame.

Will be going to Craigslist next. What good is a one year warranty?

There is a brand name "Kenmore" not a manufacturer. Everyone from GE to LG, Maytag to Samsung makes "Kenmore".

It is very difficult to know who actually makes a given item, and sometimes different manufacturers make the same model. That is why I would never buy from Sears, you just never know who made it and I doubt the sales people know either.

Energy star is an efficiency/energy savings rating.....not a indicator of how long a unit will last. Agreed...SEAR appliances have gone south.......and they know it.
