Overview
This Kenmore-branded 17 cubic foot upright unit converts between refrigerator and freezer modes via digital control, with four shelves, auto defrost and a garage-ready build for unheated spaces.
The listing shows Koolatron as the manufacturer behind the Kenmore name, worth knowing if you're specifically shopping for a Kenmore-made appliance. Both reviews on file so far are positive after a few weeks of use, though that's a small sample against the 3.7 average rating, so expect some variation in experience.
- 17 cu ft (480L) capacity
- 4 shelves plus 4 door compartments
- Garage-ready insulation
- ENERGY STAR certified
Who it's for
Fits garages, basements or dorms needing flexible bulk cold storage, especially where switching between fridge and freezer modes matters seasonally. Not the pick for a kitchen wanting a dedicated fridge or freezer only.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Both reviews on file are positive: one buyer likes the design and interior light after a few weeks of garage use, and another calls it an amazing product they're happy with.

Performance notes
A digital control panel switches the unit between refrigeration and freezing with a quick-freeze setting for faster initial cooling, and auto defrost is built to avoid manual maintenance. Door-open and high-temperature alarms are included to catch problems before food spoils, and insulation is meant to keep performance stable in unheated garage temperatures.
