Kenmore Elite 73025 review: Price

The RRP is $1939.99, but it is not difficult to find this french door fridge freezer listed with a good discount. On Sears.com it is listed with a $640 discount, leaving it priced at $1299.99. This model is towards the budget-end of the french door fridge freezer market, but still offers good storage space and range of features, making it excellent value for money.

Kenmore Elite 73025 review: Design/features

Kenmore Elite 73025: Key specs

Overall capacity: 26.1  cubic feet
Freezer capacity: 7.8 cubic feet
Refrigerator shelves: 5
Refrigerator door bins: 7
Through Door Dispenser: None 

The Kenmore Elite 73025 is designed to be a great option for those with young kids, who also don't want to splash out on the added expense of integrated smart features. The smudge-proof stainless steel finish means you won't have to constantly wipe away kids fingerprints, while the pantry drawer makes for great snack storage. The lack of a through the door water dispenser may be a negative for some, but it can mean fewer spillages for those with young children. It does come with an internal ice maker for a constant supply of cubed ice.

The shelves themselves are made from thick tempered glass with thick spill captures surrounding them to keep any accidental messes from spreading. Adjustable shelves allow you to customize your storage space and two humidity-controlled crisper drawers keep produce fresher for longer.

It has fewer bells and whistles than higher-end models, like the Samsung RF23M8570SG or Bosch B36CL80SNS, but that’s why it comes at a much lower price point.

Kenmore Elite 73025 review: Performance

Reviewed.com had an overall positive view of this model. It found that the fridge section managed to maintain an even temperature, while the freezer was a little more temperamental. They found a 6 degree difference between the top and bottom of the freezer, with the area near the ice maker recording the coldest temperature, suggesting the air flow could be better. But overall, the review was positive and labelled the fridge portion as above average. 

Kenmore Elite 73025 French Door Refrigerator: User reviews

Average user reviews are 3.5 out of 5. They compliment the adjustable shelves and amount of storage space, with many particularly liking the large door compartments, one noting that it easily holds two gallons of milk. Some mention they specifically chose a model without through the door ice and water because it provides more internal storage and they haven’t been disappointed.

While a few reviews mention that this model can be noisy, others note how quiet it is, so it seems to be a problem with just some units.

A number of reviews also mention the stylish finish of this french door fridge freezer, with lots of praise for the smudge-proof finish.

Should you buy the Kenmore Elite 73025 French door refrigerator?

If you’re looking for a great family option that will do the job and look stylish, without putting a dent in your wallet then the Kenmore Elite 73025 is an excellent option. It has great capacity that can be modified to suit the needs of even large families. 

Kid friendly features will be of more use to families than the smart features that come with many higher end, and much more expensive, models. The Kenmore Elite 73025 is a fridge freezer that performs well and offers great value at its budget price point.
