Kenmore 51026 26.5 Cu. Ft. Side By Side Metallic Review

Usable Space

The refrigerator offers ample storage space spread out over four shelves, a deli drawer, and two crispers. The Kenmore 51026 offers 10.54 cubic feet of usable storage space, more than you might guess given the narrow appearance of the shelves.

The 10.54 cubic feet includes the storage located on the fridge door, which has four shelves and a dairy tray. Three of the shelves are movable, offering storage flexibility.

The freezer also impresses as far as storage is concerned, spread over three wire shelves and a wire basket on the bottom. It totals 4.94 cubic feet of usable space, enough room to freeze anything from ice cream and frozen peas, to a full chicken.

The freezer door contributes an additional four shelves, most of them near the bottom of the door under the interior portion of the ice dispenser.

Below are the manufacturers own figures for capacity, and our own measurements for usable capacity. The manufacturers figures do not take account of the shelves, drawers and other removable features, but our measurements do account for the space these take up.
