Kenmore makes reliable and sturdy products so I am sure that this would be a great starter refrigerator. However, it is missing all of the bells and whistles of the newer models. 

There is plenty of space and I do like that the shelves can be moved around in order to accommodate different sizes of items for you to store. The temperature adjusts are simple. 

I do not like the ice maker. It is the old fashioned kind where the ice falls into a tray and takes up some of the storage room in the freezer.
