Kenmore Elite 16582 chest freezer

Date Published: 8/2/06

A massive chest freezer with a capacity greater than most refrigerator-freezers, the Kenmore Elite 16582 has a whopping 24.9 cubic feet of interior space -- more than enough to handle any family's auxiliary frozen food needs. This model takes up a great deal of floor space, so it's absolutely essential that you carefully measure the space within your home, basement, or garage where you plan to locate this enormous appliance. And since this is a manual-defrost chest freezer, you'll need to locate it in a location that can easily handle the water runoff when you have to defrost this appliance, which should only be about once a year.

That being said, when you get this freezer home, you'll be astounded at just how much food it can hold inside -- however, it runs on just 512 kWh of electricity each year, costing you just about $42 to operate it annually. Kenmore has equipped this chest freezer with three aqua blue lift-out plastic baskets that help you organize the cavernous freezer space and allow you to store and retrieve items easily. This freezer also includes digital temperature display, a power-on indicator, alarm that sounds if the internal temperature rises above freezing, and a quick-freeze setting. The Kenmore Elite 16582 chest freezer comes in white only.
