This is a 12-cup drip coffee maker sold under the Kenmore name through Koolatron, the company that currently licenses Kenmore small appliances. Very little about this specific listing is documented beyond the sales copy, and it is easy to confuse with a different, better-documented Kenmore model.
What is actually documented
The listing describes a 12-cup glass carafe machine with a Regular/Bold brew toggle, auto shut-off, a “large” water reservoir, and a reusable filter. That is the extent of what the listing itself states. Koolatron also sells a separate “Kenmore Elite” 12-cup machine (model KKECM12SS) with a published 5-year warranty, pause-and-pour, and a charcoal water filter, but that is a different product line with a different feature set. We could not confirm that this listing’s machine shares any of those specifics.
Kenmore has sold drip coffee makers with a Regular/Bold toggle for years across several model numbers, so this general feature is plausible and consistent with the brand’s other machines. It just is not confirmable for this exact ASIN.
What nobody has verified
We found no manufacturer spec sheet or independent review tied to this listing. Wattage, the reservoir’s actual capacity in ounces or cups, the model number, and the warranty length are all unconfirmed. Whether the “reusable filter” is a basket or cone shape also isn’t stated, which matters if you plan to buy replacement paper filters.
What to ask before you buy
- Ask the seller for the model number printed on the unit, and search that number specifically rather than relying on the listing title.
- Confirm the warranty length and who honors it, Koolatron or the marketplace seller.
- Ask whether the filter basket is cone-shaped or flat-bottomed, since that determines which paper filters fit.
- Check the reservoir capacity in ounces, not just “12 cup,” since brewed cup sizes vary by brand.
Based on the retail listing and Koolatron’s separate Kenmore Elite product page, which describes a different model. No independent review of this listing was located. CoffeeLogik has not tested this machine in person.
