Gets the job done and gets everything clean to my satisfaction, but I have kind of a generic model where it doesnt do much more than that. It looks like a regular washing machine. There are way better Kenmores out there but I will say the reliability is stellar. I have had for 6 years and have not had any breakdowns (knock on wood) so far. No complaints in that department. I think it was worth buying but I do not think it is worth much more than that.

I have a Kenmore Elite Front-loader. My feeling is that clothes do not come clean, therefore 2 hour cycles necessary. The machine has been reliable. It is nicely designed, but I would not purchase another front-loader given my overall experience.

I have a Kenmore Elite washer and the liquid bleach tub is getting rusted around the tub. When I called in for service, I was told that this was not covered under warranty, however, this seems to be a product defect. It will cost me a service call + additional charges for labor and parts. This is a product defect! Simple as that! I guess Kenmore does not stand by their product?

After only 2 years it... DIED! Bearing crapped out. Repairman stated all companies make appliances that die in 2-3 years or COST TOO MUCH to repair. There goes an $800 washer. I suggest paying double for a Speed Queen or Bosch or just buy the extended warranty and make the company pay for a new one when it fails!

This washer throws the drive belt at least once per month! When it does it has to be laid over and all the water ends up on the floor and a huge mess not to mention having to put the belt back on! Never buy a series 500 or any other Kenmore with this type belt drive! Kenmore was no help, they got their money.

I love how the washer is not loud and that it is very fast washing my clothes. I love the style and how it look and how it fit right in with my house. Meets all my needs. I wash all my clothes with cold water but I love how clean my clothes comes out and fast it take to wash them. I love all the different power setting. Have a very nice look and style to it. Makes my home feel like an home. Very nice in details. I love a white clean look like I have. And its very nice and dont take up too much room. Have good value and very quiet so you will not hear nothing. So if you want to watch tv in your living room you can and dont feel like you hearing your washer over anything.

I have leveled my fairly new Kenmore 600S top load washer so many times. I can’t stand it anymore. I have never had a washing machine that couldn’t stay on balance like this one. It can’t possibly be the sheets, can it? Every load that has sheets, no matter how many, it cannot spin without bouncing all over the place. Forget about pillows, light blankets and towels. Maybe this is a problem for all HE top loaders but it never ever happened with my front loader or agitator. All of which were Kenmore.

It worked good. I just wished my clothes would get cleaner. Its like it didnt wash on heavy and soiled clothing. It didnt do good at moving stains that were embedded. It always worked when I needed it to. It never broke down on me or anything. I could depend on it to work. My clothes fit but not as good as I needed them to. The drum was pretty small and my clothes were smashed. It had a nice sleek look in classic white. It goes with the color of everything. It was a classic washer with modern updates. It looks fairly high-end for the price, and it fits nicely in small spaces. It was a good value for me. It got the job done. You cant expect it to do everything and fit everything but its a good dependable, sleek and sturdy washing machine.

A lightning damaged the wires of Laundry Center Kenmore 1YU1000 purchased in September 2009. Technician no. ** repaired the wires on August 16 and charged $408.64.After one week waiting for the parts, the washer was used immediately and it did not complete the cycle and left the laundry soaked in water. A second technician came today and said that the water pump and a belt were defective and to replace them, we would be charged $184.91. I ask you, is this appropriate for a barely two-year-old appliance? Never again will I buy anything else from Sears.

I have kids and pets, and I washed so many loads of very heavily soiled clothes and linens. They came clean almost every time. The washer has lasted for years and years without ever needing to be replaced. I would recommend this washer to anyone. This is the most reliable washer I have ever owned. My husband and I, with two little children, two dogs, and three cats, generate a ton of dirty laundry. We bought this washer 10 years ago and its still going strong! This washer is perfectly simple and clean looking, with very few places where dirt and grime can get stuck. It is very easy to clean, just wipe it down and youre done! This washer is the best value purchase I have made on any major appliance ever! We purchased it over 10 years ago and its still going strong!

Kenmore Elite was a highly rated model by Consumer Reports for a front loading washer. They have been very trouble free. Washer has a huge capacity and gets the laundry very clean. Wash cycle is reasonable and the machine is easy to load, easy to operate. I first search for reviews of the models I may be interested in, including incident of repair and the repair reviews for the model. I then consider features and price, if the appliance had a high incident of repairs and poor response to warranty work by the manufacturer/vendor, if the appliance had confusing controls or washer did not clean out soap dispenser. Kenmore is a very reliable brand that has always been rated high. The front loading machines are very efficient. I did learn that they can impart an odor to your clothes though.

Easy front loading and has a feature where the door stays open a few inches for odor control. Quiet, uses less water and has a lot of cycles to chose from. Easy to add soap and fabric softener to the reservoir.

I was doing a load of laundry when I heard a terrific bam in my laundry room. I went in to see about the loud noises and discovered the front door of the machine open. I felt the clothes and discovered they were soaked and the washer was about 1/8 filled with water. It appeared as if the washer reacted during the spin cycle. Perhaps it did not spin-dry the clothes as it was supposed to. Now I cannot lock the door any longer so therefore the machine cannot function. Has anybody else had this problem? Has there been any recall of my machine for this problem? I would like some feedback.

This washer works well because it has many adjustable settings so that you can choose the wash cycle that would be best for your load of laundry. The drum can hold a large load of clothing, so that way you dont have to do many loads, but can do one large load. Its very reliable. Ive had this washer for 8 years and its still going strong. It has yet to give me any sort of trouble. It is durable, and long-lasting. The appearance of this washer is good. Its very clean and simple looking, and easy to understand. The layout of the knobs and dials are well laid out so that anyone would be able to understand how to start a load of laundry. This is a valuable piece of machinery. Not only is it affordable, but it is well worth the price. It is sturdy and reliable, and can wash a heap-load of laundry.

I bought this washer 6 years ago. It has worked just fine until about 6 months ago. Suddenly, it started taking longer and longer to finish the cycle. Then, occasionally, it wouldnt spin the clothes and I would have to run the separate drain and spin cycle. Then, it suddenly wouldnt even do that. I called Sears. My intention was to find out what it would cost (because it was out of warranty) to replace the brain, including the labor and repair call. Instead of giving me the quote I asked for, she convinced me to buy a 1-year service policy for somewhere around $350.00 explaining that if it was the brain, it would be considerably more than that. Then, came the clincher. If they couldnt repair it, I would be given a voucher toward a new machine. Sign me up! Guess what? Not. They came out and put in a new brain (this took a total of 4 weeks), then 2 weeks later it started the whole cycle again, only quickly this time moving into not spinning at all. I called for another repair order. They couldnt get me in for another week and a half. In the meantime, I kept working with the washer trying different cycles and stuff until I got it working again. Guess what? Now, since it wont malfunction in front of them, they have deemed it my fault! According to them, its because Im running unbalanced loads and using too much soap! After 6 years of successfully using this machine, apparently, Ive lost my mind! I am so frustrated I could spit! So, my solution is that I will call them each and every time it fails, and make them come out until my 1 year is up. Then, I will buy a new machine and it will not be from Sears! Im closing my account with them and after 30 years of being a customer, Im done!

I have always had a Kenmore washer. They are very reliable & durable. Service from Sears is also reliable plus trustworthy. Prices are good, compared to Maytag or GE. I prefer Kenmore over all other brands. Kenmore offers top loading, front loading & compact units for smaller spaces. Sears stores are available in many areas, that carry Kenmore products.

Kenmore 3.5 cu ft. top load washer. Brand loyalty from previous appliances was the reason for the purchase. Had the washer for 8 months, and theres NOTHING to like about it. It rarely puts in more than 3 inches of water, so the clothes are just rubbing against themselves causing pilling, twisting, and tangling. Sheets and long sleeves are always so twisted in knots you have to stand there and untangle. (With shirts this means ironing is usually required.) And, do we really know how clean anything is if all its doing is rubbing against other pieces? It reminds me of women banging their clothes on rocks at a stream. Yes, there is a setting called Deep Wash which puts in 5 inches or less of water, (measured with the wet clothing also in the machine) and clothes still spend all their time rubbing against each other. This is Not due to over-loading, as I rarely have more than half or two-thirds of a tub-load of dry items. The setting called Bedding or Bulky, eventually, after 10 minutes of spinning, and occasionally adding a bit more water, gets enough water in to keep the clothes from rubbing against each other, but by that time the cycle is mostly finished and the clothes and/or towels have spent the majority of the wash cycle just being banged against each other. But this cycle does not spin the clothes very dry, and so sometimes with jeans or towels you need to go back and turn it on again to an additional spin cycle. After using the machine for awhile I now know the salesperson knew nothing about how it actually worked. For me it has added LOTS more work by having to go back and add a additional cycle, by now requiring ironing of mens shirts; and for having to separate and hand-wash knits, sweaters and delicate items as they cannot be included in a regular wash, but are way too few for their own cycle.

Model 110.27102310. Serial C34130259 - The washer finishes the cycle and the clothes are barely wet. Oftentimes I have to do it over again wasting water, time and detergent. If the load is uneven during the spin cycle, the washer hit its wall very, very loud but does not show or have any indication where and how to balance the load (more to the left? or more to the right?). Its HIT AND MISS - I keep trying to balance it over and over with a guess. It is so frustrating!

Semi-fast could be faster. Wish it could hold a little more. Overall its not a bad washer. Kenmore is a name you can trust and lasts a long time. I wash about 6 loads a day so its not a bad washer! I wish it didnt take me all day to do it. Its a kenmore and not the best one. Once its time to get a new one I will get a more efficient washer. Its pretty plain, white washer with a white tub so the appearance isnt that pretty lol. But overall its nice I guess. We will see the next Kenmores once I am ready for a new one. For the price and how much I wash its value is great and its worth it. I havent had any issues with it. The loads just take a little longer than I would like. When I am in for a new one I will get a better one.

Ive recently purchased a Kenmore front load washer which has begun leaking after only six weeks of use. I called for service and they are actually trying to blame us for not loading it correctly (Ive been loading washers for over twenty years). Its sad that they would even consider underloading a washer an acceptable reason for water leaking all over your floor. I was very sad to see (upon delivery installation) that Kenmore is too now made in China - wish I wouldve stuck to Whirlpools which are still currently made in USA.

I bought a new Kenmore washer 7/2011. It will not rinse in the normal and heavy duty cycles but rinses normally in the casual cycle. The repairman was prompt and knowledgeable – no complaints there but he told me that was what the washing machine was programmed to do. So, I am only able to wash laundry on the casual cycle in this new machine. Someone, please explain that to me! I will never buy another one from Sears!

Good delivery from Sears. Great product so far. Very quiet and washes thoroughly. Large capacity for 10 or more pairs of mens jeans which came out squeaky clean. Also using double rinse. Love these features.

I have always bought Kenmore washers. This is my third and I always buy the basic one with the biggest capacity. This one was under $400.00. The best reason to buy Kenmore is its from Sears and they stand behind their products.

The performance is great. They made this washer with the best and top quality in mind. There are so many different settings to choose from and they perform great. This washer is super reliable. It can literally fit a ton of clothes, or even my whole comforter and all the bed sheets together. Its such a great washing machine. The appearance is absolutely wonderful. It looks sleek and shiny and so up to date with the trends today. Its modern and has great technology. I just love this washing machine so much. The value isnt bad at all for this washing machine. You honestly get what you pay for. Its not priced bad at all. But you definitely will be happy with it.

I regularly use my washer and after a few days of testing different settings, Ive found the perfect settings for me. After that, this washer has never failed to get the job done. Since I live by myself, this washer is able to comfortably for all of my clothing items with extra room to spare. This makes the washing process easy for the machine and prevents it from getting congested. The appearance is rather minimalist and does not possess any fancy designs. I like this type of design because it helps the machine match any types of surroundings and not bring too much attention to itself. While lacking some features of the most cutting-edge washers, this machine is economical because it gets all the basic needs accomplished efficiently at a fairly reasonable price point.

Kenmore is a great appliance company. I would buy any of their name brand products. I wash clothes every week. I normally do about 8 loads of laundry. I wash and dry in a Kenmore. It is quick, efficient, not loud, and gets the job done.

Works good with all types of clothes in hot and cold water. Saves energy. Very quiet and not noisy. Looks very good and does not take up that much space. Long cord so you can put it anywhere.

It does not clean very well. It also stopped working multiple times. It leaked water consistently as well. Sometimes it would make very loud beating noises as it was spinning. It would work when it wanted to. About half of the time it would not work. It was always being repaired. It was not a very good machine. It looked like any other washer out there. But it was lacking in options to choose from. However, it did have the basics in order to get the job done. It did not cost any less than most other brands. I feel that if I had spent the same amount on another brand, that I would have a working machine.

Model# 79631512210 - We purchased this Elite Washer from Sears approx. 2 years ago... Has been nothing short of a major pain in the A$$. This was set up by Sears technician on delivery, was set up level in all planes... No matter how small or how large the loads are, we can never get a load to successfully wash on the first try... Constantly get the UE error code, and have to play around with the laundry repeatedly to get the darn thing to finish a load. It should not have to take 3 to 4 hours to wash 1 load of laundry. Running up and down the stairs constantly, and wondering if the washing machine is working or not every single time we use it is not acceptable. Kenmore Washers, I know there are numerous people having the same problems with this model.. Please reach out to me if there is a recall, or if this can be replaced directly from you. Thank You.

Kenmore is a great product that I would highly recommend. It last a very long time with no issues. The washer got the clothes really clean. In my opinion it is even better than the newer front load washing machines that are out now. Kenmore is a brand that you cannot go wrong and a name you can completely trust.

It was big, and fit what I would call huge loads. It had a super fast cycle system unlike a lot of others that take for what seems like forever and my clothes came out more clean than with my previous ones. It would fit more than what I needed into it. When I would do a load of laundry it would actually be 2 normal loads, my normal loads. And to my surprise they came out more clean than I would have expected them too. I am in love with them. They arent the newest looking with the clear lid or anything but it definitely gets the job done. Laundry is laundry. As long as the equipment does its job appearance shouldnt matter. Its well worth it in all truthfulness. I would buy it a thousand times over before Id go invest in one of the fancy ones. These are exactly what I needed.

Kenmore Model 796.4027. It is rated as best buy by Consumer Reports. However, it has a serious design flaw. The valves close much too quickly causing massive water hammer. None of our other washers had this problem. Their solution, install new anti-water hammer devices. **. This is a design flaw in these machines. Wikipedia has a very nice treatment of what causes water hammer. I also spent a good bit of time in Engineering School studying hydraulics and this is a classic case. The valve is closing much too rapidly. The solenoid that actuates the valves needs to be redesigned. It shouldnt be hard, other washer manufacturers seem to have figured it out.The service was prompt and courteous. He explained that this was a very common problem with newer washers. However, since nothing was replaced Kenmore/LG wont track this as the design flaw that it is. I suspect that the manufacturer actually knows about the issue but doesnt want to resolve it due to cost implications. What a lousy way to do business.

Absolutely the worst customer service experience in my 66 years on this earth. Bought a new Kenmore washer which arrived damaged. Was told we had to report damage in 3 days and they would not do anything. Turned on the machine and it sounded like metal on metal grinding. Called Sears again and they sent out the repairman who says the bottom of the machine is crushed and missing a suspension rod and not worth repairing. Just trying to get service from Sears has been such a nightmare. I cannot imagine trying to get a replacement washing machine. What a goat rope this has been. I expect we will be buying a new washing machine and I guarantee you it will not be a Kenmore!!! WORST SERVICE EVER!!!

We bought a Kenmore 600 series early in 2018 after selling our home and leaving the wonderful 22 year old Maytag washing machine behind. What a mistake. This new Sears product is the epitome of young people not thinking through what they are trying to accomplish. To be more specific, these HE machines are designed to save water. But they do not clean clothes because the water level is too low. How is that an improvement? And what if you bump the power button by mistake... Out goes the water. How ridiculous. Often our clothes are left with detergent residue from not getting dissolved and we have to wash them again. Weve used more water. What I have found useful when washing clothes is to pause the machine and add a few gallons of water, let it spin a few minutes to get the soap to disperse with the added water, then pause the machine again and literally unplug the machine and allow the clothes to soak an hour or so dependent on the degree of stains. If I could bring back my old Maytag I would but that deal is done. Engineers, and I use that word lightly, have screwed the pooch.

Kenmore washer model # 21102010. Only lasted 5 years. After it stopped going to the next stage of washing, repairman states that 2 parts need replacing... $360.00... I will never buy a Kenmore appliance.

I have had this washer about seven years and I bought it used. To this day it still works. It is what I use weekly to do our laundry in. Im very satisfied with it. I can get a full load in there. Sometimes Ive overloaded it but other than that it works great as long as I dont have too many dirty clothes in. It does have a few nicks and dings in it. Couple of rough spots too but it washes out of clothes just fine and to me thats all that matters. Even though it is probably 15 years old I would say the value of it would be at least $100 because it works perfectly. I just pulled out a trash bag full of winter clothes with jeans and coats and was able to get a huge black trash bag washed into loads of laundry.

They always work well and will run forever. Easy to get parts and to have repaired. Very economical to run and the clothes are clean. I would recommend them and would purchase another one in a heartbeat. Great appliance. I have owned 2 and they have always worked well and lasted a long time. My clothes are always clean and smell fresh. Local company, made in America. Sears carries parts and will service them.

I bought this Kenmore high efficiency washer 4 years ago, in 2017. I noticed clothes did not get as clean as with my old washer (which took 15 years before replacement was needed). There were other conveniences that were missing; for example, there was no way just to spin wet clothes, as there were with other washers. The washer needed frequent attention to adjust off balance loads. Finally, 2 months ago (May 2021), the washer refused to turn on. A service technician came 6/10 and said we needed a new board, which he ordered. The part has been on backorder since then. My only communication with Sears/Kenmore is when I call them. Their customer service reps politely tell me that the part is still on backorder, and they will escalate my request. I still have no working washer, and a service agreement which is not being honored. My advice is to consider another brand of washer.

This washer has had the control panel replaced and has been leaking for three months. It started making weird noises this week and is pouring water. Repairman said it is a default causing the tube to be worn and a hole in the tube. He has seen several of these but Sears refused to repair. Sears repair hung up on me three times.

Rust forming around bleach dispenser. I feel this is poor workmanship on Kenmore part. However they coat the enamel finish on the frame into which the dispenser sits in 3 year should not start to rust! If untreated this will spread and spot rust marks will start appearing on clothes. There is no way to contact Kenmore directly. Everything reverts to sears. Who want to charge me $79.00 to come tell me there is rust but will put the 79.00 dollars towards my repair bill. This is poor customer service.

The Kenmore washing machine is very affordable and reliable. It operates in any type of climate and can use any cleaning detergent, whether it be powder, liquid or both. A number of cycles makes it easy to wash just about any type of clothing and get the dirtiest clothes very clean. I put two sheets, two pillow cases and two blankets in at once and they are always cleaned. Also, the appearance is smooth. It is all enamel and there are no sharp edges or corners.

It is very gentle on my clothing. Its very modern and nice and easy to work with. High quality water saving and power efficient. It also works pretty fast. Not an all day wash. It hasnt broke yet. Its very sleek and pretty. Didnt cost that much. Money well spent.

I thought I would never have good smelling towels again and the washer did the trick. It can really hold a lot of clothing inside. Overall very happy with it. Its performance is long lasting. This washer is very reliable I can always count on it to wash all of my heavy loads of clothing exactly when I need it. I hardly ever have any technical issues with it. This washer has a generally attractive appearance. When I originally bought this washer it was on sale and I think I am satisfied with the value of it. The warranty is great and its worth the money to have fresh smelling clothes.

Fix the washer over 20 times since purchase in 08. Replacing mother board again in 6 months. Repair teaches different things then the sells guys. I use to rave about Kenmore. Not anymore. I could have bought a new washer every year for the amount of money I have used to repair washers in the past 10 years. All Kenmores with Sears repair men.

The performance was awesome. It cleaned my clothes really well. It wasnt fancy which made it extremely easy for me to use and to teach my young son how to wash clothes. It was extremely reliable. I never had any issues with it ever. I was able to wash big loads which is a plus for me because I am so busy. The appearance was basic. I prefer the old style appliances compared to the newer ones that are hard to figure out. It was very easy to clean the inside and outside. It is not very pricey and gets the job done easily. It is worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone who has a tight budget and wants a great product.

I have owned my front loader for 18 years and it’s still running strong, I have never had an issue with it and will definitely buy this brand again. It is very user friendly and I can only imagine how the new models are.

Wanted to try it instead of Whirlpool. They said it used less water. I dont think it does. I liked the fact that it was a good price. It is said to be a very good brand. I have had Kenmore in the past and they were good. I have had it about three years now. It is a Kenmore and full size. The cost was $495.00. It is a energy saver and the new ones without a agitator in it. Cleans really good so far and I would buy another one.

We were familiar with Kenmore and stuck with what we knew. It is a quality brand and it was on sale at the time. It has very much smart and exceeded our expectations. We like that it is push buttons and not a huge dial. There are many different cycle types which makes it very simple to do different loads. When the clothes come out they are not as wet due to a good spin cycle. We also like the glass top so we can see the clothes get washed.

Affordability, simplicity, and maintenance, all add to the experience of ownership. Works great. Really gets clothes clean. Energy efficient and durable, all the things I expect in such a important home essential.

Only had the washer for 2 years and already broke... Water is leaking from underneath and a very very loud noise on the spin cycle that it sounds like the old wood roller coaster at Cedar Point... My first and last Kenmore product. Went out and got me a Samsung.

The Sears elite washer rusted out totally where bleach dispenser is.

Today took the cake. Im washing t-shirts and decided to throw in my bedroom slippers. Well, now I will be throwing them away!!! I cant believe what they turned out like. They were pink and now they are half black. Yes, black!!! Who designed this piece of crap!!! Not happy at all and yes I did take pictures! The only reason I decided to wash them was because I figured I would freshen them up before winter. My washer will be one year old in November of this year 2015!!!

Its a good washer that weve had for a couple years. It can handle big loads and gets everything nice and clean without any trouble at all. Very reliable washer. It has never been broken and never stopped working. It runs like its new and is very clean. I love it so much. I like the appearance of my washer. You can tell its newer and more modern by having the door in the front instead of loading it from the top of the washer. I think it was a good value. I cant remember exactly how much we spent on it but I know that we got it on sale for a decent price a couple of years ago.

I will NEVER purchase nor will I recommend Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel appliances. First, the only stainless steel which exists is in the handles on all appliances, everything else is cheap metal. I bought in 2016 the Side-by-Side (both doors developed rust spots within one month), Dishwasher (outside door) developed rust spots, Microwave/Oven combo (both doors) developed rust spots, and Gourmet Hood, which developed rust spots and the lights no longer work. All I did was use the cleaner, which came with the appliances. I built a brand new house and everything within one month had rust. I called Sears, well, guess what, I was over my 30 days so NO WARRANTY on the rust. I called the store and Were sorry to hear that. No discount on my full purchase price either. My husband, who is a builder, said they are more than likely storing the appliances in a damp warehouse and its cheap metal, as steel doesnt rust. In the past, I purchased GE Profile and no problems. Here I have a new house with old looking appliances.

I have owned my washer for three years and I have never disliked an appliance more than this machine. The washer is Energy Star but this could be the most hypocritical statement made. I just did a load of clothes and it ran through the entire cycle and there were spots on some clothes that werent even wet. I can never just use the automatic settings because the washer does not know how to add the appropriate amount of water. I constantly have to start over the cycle so the machine will add more water or lift the lid so the machine is faked out so it will add more water. And if I forget to do this and all the cycles are complete, I will run the wash or rinse cycle again. Also, the machine will not let me rinse using hot water. How does the machine know what I want to rinse and the temperature that I should be rinsing in. It is extremely frustrating to not be able to select the features, I know are best for the items I am washing. Also the Express Cycle will not let me select hot water. Clearly the operator should be able to select the water temperature no matter what the cycle is. When I need to add clothes, I lift the lid while I go collect the clothes from my childrens rooms and if I dont get back in a set number of minutes, the machine will start to drain itself. I get back before it is done draining but there is no override and therefore it takes more of my time to wait until it drains fully and then again I waste water by having to start all over. Also, sometimes I need to raise the lid again but I dont want to add any additional water. Well there is no way to keep the washer from adding water after you lift the lid. Again more water waste!!! If I could leave the lid up while the washer fills with water, I would be able to check if my clothes have faded and add more clothes if I want and this would not only save water but save me very valuable time. Speaking of time, with my previous machine, I could do a complete cycle in 30 minutes and therefore I could complete 2-3 loads of laundry in the evening. But now one load is the most I can do. Even if I do the Express Cycle, this is 35 minutes and then I have to rinse again (which is another 24 minutes) so it takes an hour and the clothes are no cleaner than before. The tray for where you add bleach never drains completely. Therefore I rarely use bleach for fear that the residual water left in the tray may bleach my next load of clothes. When I do use bleach, I wipe the tray dry to ensure the bleach residue is gone. In closing, I wish Kenmore would do a more complete test market to ensure their appliances work for the users and not cater to unjustified government regulations. I assure you I use far more water and electricity with my current Kenmore Elite washer than I used with the my previous machines.

I purchased this washer brand new from my local Sears store about 4 years ago and just now getting around to writing a review. Truth be told, I finally got fed up with having to wash my whites 2-3 times or by hand to remove stains. Not sure if its the lack of an agitator or what but this machine has not cleaned my laundry properly since day one. Next week I will be replacing.

It is a Kenmore Elite style. Washes worse than a cheap hotel device. Leaves junk on clothes and squeezes the clothes to the point of permanent wrinkles. Other Kenmore have been fine. Not sure what is wrong with this one. It has happened since day one. Called store and no resolution.

Works good to clean clothes fast for the man on the go like myself and that is what counts the most. Particularly I can indeed fit all of my needed items and have a small space left over most of the time. Sometimes I cant have all the space I need for super large loads but most my loads to all fit in one load. Description of appearance white in color. Do not care about how it looks much though its simple quick and it gets the job done bottom line. Works great. Top dime for the dollar if you choose this brand. You dont holler for more. Top of the line. Made strong to last you long. Keeps going. Dont follow.

Its a good washer and has last many years. It has never broke down and never given me any problems. It does a good job cleaning so I like it very much. It has fit all of my problem since I have had this washer. It is strong and really does a good job cleaning my and my familys clothes so it has been good to me and has done its job good. The look of this washer is very nice. It sets up well and does not move. I like the way it looks and it fits all of the things around the house. It cost a little more than I thought it would but it has paid for itself many time over so I really can not complain about the price of this washer.

The washer is easy to use and has every function you could need. It effectively and efficiently cleans clothes and does the job. It can also fit everything needed and is easy to load. It is reliable and well made so worrying about issues is not necessary. All of the functions are easy to read so you can be sure you are doing what you want, too. Lastly, the washer is a good value. I got what I expected for the price that I paid. I would recommend this washer to others if they needed one.

Kenmore washer would not turn on. I waited 4 days for a service tech. He ordered a part that took approximately 3 weeks to get. Another service tech showed up 4 days after the part was delivered to my house. He installed the part, we did a load of laundry and the washer flooded two rooms of my basement. I called Kenmore to tell them the issue and they told me they can send out somebody 6 days from now. They also connected me with a claims department that said they cant look at my house for 2 days. Now, I have no washer and my wife and I will spend 3 days cleaning our basement. These were all warranty work. I was offered a 1-year service agreement for my inconvenience.

Very good. Works like a charm. Perfect. Recommended to all friends. Truly amazing. Wouldnt trade for the world. Blue and black with silver knobs and five purple light buttons. Great for everyday clothing needs. Absolutely astonishing. It was recommended to me. It works really good. I love it. Friends love it. Everyone loves it. Its fabulous. Very nice value.

I really like both of the machines. I feel like they do a good job washing and drying. Never had to reload clothes because they were not done properly. Also never experienced any breakage with clothes.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite washer. The worst $900.00 ever spent. This product is bad. The service folks couldn’t ever fix it. The parts were bad. They used up my extended warranty and never fixed it. Motherboard fried and its cost to repair you might as well buy a new one just not Kenmore. Very disappointed. Long time Sears customer.

This Kenmore series 700 washer is one of the worst washers Ive ever used. The countdown timer is rarely correct, hardly gets comforters completely clean, ie dry spots on it AFTER you take it out of the washer, which leads me to it NOT washing items completely. I could watch clothes float on top of the water while the agitator spins on the bottom, hence not cleaning them. Unless you use the DEEP FILL option for everything, it doesnt seem to get stuff clean. The only thing I like about it is the size of the washer drum, but if it doesnt clean like the old school washers do, then I may as well just do my wash at the local laundry mat.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite washer 7-4-11. It was not much trouble in the first few months but I always had to make sure I did a large load or the machine would constantly be out of balance. Recently, I got a safety recall on the machine recently. I had the repairman out to install the update necessary. He has been out three times now and my problems have grown to the point of no return. I am totally unhappy with this machine and your update. As soon as I can get money saved up, it is out of my sight and being replaced with a different brand. You have got to be kidding if you think people are not going to drive you crazy with complaints. If you do a light load, it goes through 3 or 4 Rinse cycles and is constantly out of balance. It now takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours to do a small load of laundry and you call that efficient! I stay at home so I am able to stand over the stupid thing, but for working people, it will be a nightmare. My advice is to stay away from any Kenmore Elite. It sucks!

Weve had Kenmore washer. For the 21 yrs never had any problems with it. Id recommend it to anyone. Its been rough hard working/ washer better than any Ive had. I think Kenmore is the best.

I caught this washer on sale about 7 or 8 years ago. I only had to have it serviced once, that was for a belt and it was an easy fix. Other than that, the performance has been great. This is a great washer. I have always been able to rely on it to get my loads of clothing washed. It doesnt have a lot of bells and whistles but it has what is needed. Its not big and bulky and it leaves a lot of space in my laundry room. It has paid for itself at least a billion times by now. I love it. Its a very reliable product and I would highly recommend it.

Our Kenmore is very powerful for an older model washer. It has all needed wash cycles. It also has a very large drum for its size and I never have a problem with clothing sitting on one side during the wash. Each cycle gives the clothing a really good cleaning. It also has a very simple look, making it easy to use. Moreover, the knobs being located on the top panel makes them easy to access after you load and close the washer. This washer gets the job done extremely well for the price. Why pay double or triple the price when you can get this model and get the exact same performance as other washers. I highly recommend purchasing it.

We Always have been happy with Sears Kenmore Elite and they have lasted us for a long time. However We have not been able to find Kenmore at Lowes or Home Depot. So if Selected to earn or win a washer I would like to have a front load washing machine. I studied the features and like features of the Whirlpool washing machine.

Very happy with overall operation of the washer. Save a lot of water this type of washer. Get my clothes clean. Easy to use and operate. Price was reasonable for this type of washer. It is very reliable. Have no problems with the washer. Everything that told by me through the salesperson was correct. Save a lot of water and on the water bill. Look very much like any other HE washer but the price was reasonable. Easy to use and has a nice appearance in my laundry area. I have the white ones and easy to clean. Energy star rating so it save on electric bills. The washer does take has much water so your water bill is cheaper. You can a great amount of laundry into the washer and they are clean.

It cleans very good. Easy to work. Buttons are easy to press and Works really well. Very pleased. I have not had a problem. I wash clothes at least 3 times a week cause I have a newborn. Washes really good. Its small and fits right in the corner of the basement. I really like this model. Its lightweight. I can move it if I need to. I got this on sale but would of paid full price. Was not expensive at all. And it was worth every penny I paid for it. I really recommend this one.

3-year old Kenmore washer caught fire this a.m. Kenmore is made by different manufacturers & this one is made by Whirlpool. Model # 110.2800201, serial # C20732070. Washing a small load when I heard a loud pop and saw that smoke was pouring from unit. Horrible quality.

I bought the Sears Kenmore Elite top-loading, high-efficiency washing machine (manufactured by LG) in May 2011 for close to $1,000. At first, it was fine. A few weeks ago (January 2013), it started overflowing every time it fills. I watched the numbers on the control board go wonky instead of counting down the minutes sequentially. It overflows on the wash cycle, wont drain unless I stop the cycle, and manually select drain/spin, then it drains perfectly. I recognize a wacky computer when I see one, so I unplugged it thinking it might reset itself. Problem keeps happening. I researched it on the internet and saw that there is defective casing material used in the manufacture and the motherboard gets wet!I called Sears expecting the company I knew from all these years to be there. But all I get is cryptic, non-answers to direct questions and pressure to purchase a service agreement. Ive been unemployed for a few months and I dont have $230 to put into a $1,000 machine that I just bought! Oh, and by the way, if the repair costs more than $500, your service agreement doesnt cover the additional cost. You get to take care of that out of your own pocket. I wanted Sears to come fix the problem caused by faulty manufacture or at least give me a straight answer about what the likely cause of the problem is and how much it would take to fix it. It doesnt matter who it is, whoever youre talking to doesnt have the information you need. You get transferred or disconnected. Whoever youre transferred to doesnt have the information you need either and cant imagine why the first person transferred you to them. I dont believe a corporation would permit such incompetence if it didnt pay off.So I did some more research and found out on Consumer Reports that my unit was covered by a recall. I called Sears back and asked them, Why are you trying to sell me a service agreement for a unit that is covered by a recall? explaining again how the machine was flooding my laundry room. They said, Oh, thats totally unacceptable, says the agent. Let me transfer you to the Product Resolution department. The Product Resolution guy puts me on hold to look into it for several minutes. (If I ever hear a Sears customer service person say theyre going to look into it again, Ill start getting suspicious!) The Product Resolution guy says Yes, you are under recall. Well set up a recall appointment for the same time you had the service call, and well cancel your service agreement and refund your money within 4 days. (This is less than an hour after I had caved on the service agreement upsell.)Mind you, this appointment is 10 days in the future, the best they can do. Their technicians are very busy and they wont tell you what time of day, or give you a number to contact the technician, or any information that would empower you to have control of your day. Sometime between 8am and 5pm, so in the interim, I got a job and they would like me to start the day before this appointment. Now, I have to delay my start date so that I wont have to deal with personal business the first week of my new job. Already Sears has cost me $375 in lost wages. So, today is the day. The technician gets here to fix my washing machine under recall. It turns out that the recall is a software update that the technician says will not address the overflowing problem. I got Sears on the phone while the technician is still here, more runaround, more transferring, more looking into it, an offer of $65 off a repair call for which they wont estimate a total cost. (And I dont believe this is not the first time theyve had this conversation; a helpful person would say something like, at worst its this, at best its that.) Finally, I talked to a supervisor, went through the whole story again, and I asked her what she would advise if I were her mother. She told me this isnt personal with me. Sears cant provide you any more services because the machine is no longer under warranty. I replied with Sears can, but it wont. Sears knows theres an issue with this machine, and its happy to have its brand associated with it when youre charging $1,000 but you dont want to stand behind it when theres a problem. A new washing machine doesnt act like this and I can see other people on the internet have had the same problem. I believe their new business model is to hold customers hostage to an outrageous initial investment on products with known defects and then gouge them for repairs. If it already costs a lot, why not pay a little more? The whole customer service process is set up to make it so painful that you just cave in. Its immoral, and if it isnt illegal, it ought to be. If theres a class action suit, I want to be part of it.

High Efficiency how? The washer runs 2x as long and have to (at least) double rinse every load to get HE soap residue off the clothes. It probably uses less water but takes twice as long to do a load.

Kenmore gets our clothes clean, offers a Vietnam of cycles, temperatures and I am please. Kids do their own laundry so its easy to use. It stays clean and fresh smelling and cycles are fast. It is definitely reliable. Have had to for a few years and we do several loads a weeks. Have not had any issues with it not operating correctly. We are pleased with its functioning capability. Cant say I have seen a good looking or a bad looking washing machine but this machine is attractive. We have had it for a few years and I honestly do not remember what we paid for it but considering it has worked without issues for this long I would say it was good value.

Our clothes always came out very clean using this washer and smelling great. My husband works in the motor oil manufacturing plant and he always comes home smelling of motor oil but using this washer, it really gets the smell out. This washer is very reliable and easy to use. We had Kenmore appliances before and will have them again... I have never had an issue with the Kenmore washer having any issues. This washer has a nice, sleek design and easy to use dials and knobs. It is also easy to read... No need to go find your glasses to start it. We bought our Kenmore washer at Sears and the associate that helped us was very helpful in finding what we needed and how much we were willing to spend and we feel we got our moneys worth.

The washer is great. I thought I would have problem with it like my previous washer but I am so happy with it performance. Its fast. I put like 3 loads a day and they only take like 30-1 hour. Its amazing! This is one of the best washers I have ever bought. I have always been scared that the washer will give up on me or one day stop working out of nowhere and staying without a washer. This washer is very reliable. I am pleased with the color of my washer but I do wish there were other colors of it. Maybe a black or even grey one. I believe they only offer it in white which is not bad but it would be nice to see it in other colors. The design is great, it is too extravagant or complicated. As I have been saying before, I am extremely satisfied with this washer. The value of it was just right. What I mean with that is that I paid a pretty good darn price for an amazing quality.

Kenmore high efficiency washer - This is the loudest machine ever. It wrinkles and eats clothes. It is now leaving white stains on darn clothes. Ive always bought Kenmore products. Never again. Very disappointed.

Theres nothing fancy about the appearance but I didnt buy it for display in the living room. Its a perfect fit for a laundry room and thats whats important. Its been a very reliable washer. Ive had it for over a decade now and have had no repair expenses. Also, the laundry is always clean and well rinsed. Ive definitely gotten my moneys worth out of it. What more could one ask!

It was great... the clothes dried fast. I hardly ever had to use my iron cause the drying was fantastic. I loved that. GREAT brand... Top of the line. I cant stress this brand enough. I had lived at my house for over 15 years. And didnt have to replace it till like 2 yrs ago. VERY dependable. Never had any problems with it. The only reason I got rid of it was I needed a new washer so I got 2 new appliances... It was kinda plain... but it went with everything. And as long as it did its job I didnt care.. like I said very happy with this brand, longest I had a appliance. SUPER GREAT. I didnt buy it, it came with the house. But the people that left it there had told me what they paid at the time... I have to say for as long as I had it... It was well worth it.

I purchased a Kenmore He Washer, stainless steel drum, in 2019. Can I say I hate this washer? Because I do. I have always purchase appliances from Sears and have been pleased. Because of just a few months with this washer, I will never purchase another appliance, of any type, from Sears again. The washer does not fill with any temperature other than extra hot and cold. Washing on extra hot adds one hour to the wash time. Setting the temp to warm or hot yields cold water only. The service tech, sent by Sears, was rude, incompetent and clueless. Couldnt fix anything regarding the temps. Clothes come out ridiculously wrinkled, no matter the water temp or spin level. I have never had to iron clothes with any previous washers. This is a junk machine. Dont buy any He washers from Sears. TERRIBLE!!!!

A couple of years ago I bought a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher. It looked great, sounded great. When it was being delivered, the delivery man said, See you in a few years. I asked what he meant, and he said, Youll be replacing this before too long. I was stunned. Surely not, it looked too good. Until it wasnt. First thing that happens, the plastic wheels on the bottom rack started falling off. Turns out, they use a plastic piece to hold the plastic wheels on. When its a couple of years old, they shrink and the wheels fall off. Of course you dont know this until toxic smoke is pouring out during the heating cycle.After scraping and trying to clean the plastic off the burner, I check the other wheels only to find out they are all the same. There are 8 wheels on the bottom rack, and are only sold in pairs on a plastic mount. $60 per. Needless to say, its hundreds of bucks to keep it usable. And they dont want to hear about warranty or faulty parts. Learned my lesson. If the delivery guy says its bad, believe it.

Great at getting clothes clean. Not too noisy. Handles large loads well. Many cycle options. Worry free operation. Very dependable usage. Never a repair or performance issue. Construction is very heavy duty and sturdy. Will last many years to come. Well worth price. Very attractive appearance blends in well with any decor. Shows function features and controls very easily. Looks a lot more expensive but is not. Works as well as many more expensive higher end machines at a much lower price. A great bargain if on budget.

Kenmore 600 series washer - The worst washer I have ever owned, does not get things clean, they smell, they are still dirty, it should be recalled. I will not buy Kenmore ever again. I feel that I was taken advantage of by the sales staff. Sears should be ashamed and should offer a refund on this product.

I purchased was a Kenmore model # 20022011 (top loader). I loaded the washer but it would not start even after I unplugged the washer, checked the circuit breaker, and tried another outlet.

The performance of this machine is good. I never have any problems with it. I am satisfied with the performance and what it has done. I can always count on this Kenmore machine to get the job done. Whenever I put clothes in the machine, they always come out clean and gets all the dirt and grime out. The appearance does not mean much to me at all. I could really care less about how it looks from the exterior. I got a good deal when I first bought this machine. For the amount of money that I paid for, the Kenmore machine did not let me down and met my expectations.

Bought the top of the line Kenmore Elite front loader 2017. Worst purchase I ever made! Have tried every tip for getting the clothes to smell good. I spend more time cleaning the machine and over washing clothes than I ever have. I have used every laundry detergent. From the first day the towels stink. Tried baking soda, washing machine cleaners, using less cleaner and adding scented beads. Calling customer service was a joke. Every time they told me to try something or clean the cleanout drain. I told them I already had. They could care less. I curse this machine every time I use it. As soon as water hits a clean towel it smells like it just came out of the hamper. If you go in the Sears store and open up the machine smell inside the front loader. That is what your towels will smell like.

I have owned my Kenmore top loading washing machine for 10 years. It may not be the most attractive washing machine but it is definitely the most reliable and dependable washing machine that I have ever owned. It has never failed me once and gets all my clothes very clean. I have recommended the Kenmore washer to many of my friends and have never heard of any breakdowns or repairs. I know that someday this machine will quit on me and when that day occurs, I will go right back to the Sears store and buy another Kenmore!

Kenmore Model 110. This perhaps is the easiest and cheapest washer to own. I repaired mine and it only cost me $40 bucks in parts to almost do a complete overall. Its over 15 years old and all those side loading so-called HE washers are way too delicate and cost hundreds to thousands to own. Do yourself a favor and go to used appliance store and buy one of these 110 models. May not be the prettiest girl in the bunch but she sure as hell will not leave you hanging like these new ones made today. You can thank me in 15- 20 yrs.

I have a three-year-old Kenmore Samsung Top Load washer that I bought from Sears. Six months ago it started making grinding noises. I called in a repairman only to find out that they do not repair these as they are on a recall. I went through their recall process and it has been ongoing since February 15, 2017. I was assigned a repair company and given a phone number. I called them and was told that they do not service my location. I contacted Samsung again and they gave me a new repair company after a number of calls and weeks transpired. The new company also did not service my location. In the meantime my washer is getting louder and washing less effectively. I gave Samsung the appliance service that Sears uses and the phone number to contact. I phone this service myself and he indicated that he does the recall repairs for Samsung on these washers. For the last two months I have been contacting Samsung to get them to assign my washer to this service center that they use and it is still not assigned! I have sold my house and must be out in 5 days so I had to buy a new washer and thought I would get the rebate. After reviewing the rebate process, I decided that this company can keep the minute $275 offered. I will never purchase a Samsung anything as long as I can help it. They did not contact me once during the whole process. I had to keep phoning to get updates and new information. The rebate does not compensate enough as it is only 1/3 of a new washer. I thought Kenmore was a great product and had no idea that it was made by Samsung until I started having problems. I guess the days of having a washer for 20 plus years are gone and consumers have to put up with second rate crap that is very expensive and ends up filling up the countrys garbage dumps.

I bought a Kenmore Elite Washer from Sears about 5 years ago. I have had it repaired twice and it never cleans my clothes. It has more error messages than anything I have ever seen. It locks, puts error F11 and you cannot get your clothes out of the washer, cannot open the door does not matter if you unplug it or not. Then another error, then another. It is impossible to do laundry. I HATE THIS WASHER. I WOULD NOT BUY A THING FROM SEARS. They lie and tell you they will stand by a product but they do not. They want another 600.00 to walk in the door to fix the washer. I might as well buy a new one. ONE THAT WORKS.

Kenmore front load washer mcl 417-42042100 - This washer is less than 10 years old and I have had to replace the rear tub section twice because the bearing and seal went out. A $177 part just because a $8 bearing and seal went out, the bearing is not sold separately. The last time I replaced this part, the rear tube section, was about 3 months ago. A short time after I put the new rear tube section along with new shock absorbers it started making loud noises (banging) and vibrating very bad. When I took it apart I discovered that two of the legs of the drum support assembly had broken which also caused the front tub to be broken. The drum support assembly is not listed separately on the parts sheet. It is part of the drum cost $313 and the front tub section is $171. The rear section is about $177 and I have replaced it twice and the shock absorbers once at $57. So the scrap man got the washer and I got a new one, this time a top load. I wouldnt buy a front load washer again. As best I can tell they are all of similar design. Kenmore doesnt make anything. They have someone else make them and put the Kenmore logo on them. Not sure but this washer might be made by Samsung for Kenmore. I would not recommend buying this washer or any front load washer.

While the Elite Front Load washer is a step up from our old front end, the requirement to drain water out of the bottom of the washer is ridiculous. Even when drained as much as possible it retains a smelly Odor that is transferred to clothing. This needs to be solved in future models. We purchased in 2016 so ask if this is still an issue.

Performs well, clothes come out clean and fresh, lots of different cycles, very reliable, never had a real problem with it. Good load capacity and lasts a long time. Very reliable because it has never broken down yet, never leaked, always cleans the clothes extremely well, come out smelling fresh, holds a lot of wash per load, it is a nice looking machine. Good quality, looks high tech and innovative, has a lot of options and buttons to select different wash cycles, nice color and premium looking case. I would have to say that this machine has extremely good value because the price was fair, is reliable, works well, is quiet, cleans almost all stains.

It washes clothes very well, but its too noisy and washed clothes too slow. I love the extra small cycles. Very modern and up to date appearance. Washer is very durable, and long lasting. Gets the job done week by week. Kenmore is very reliable every time its in use. Innovative and saves energy. Looks attractive, appealing, stylish, modern. I like the new appearance and style. Nice and Stylish. It has great value overall. I like the value. Getting my money worth. Thats a good thing. Nice quality and value.

I have a Kenmore Elite Oasis HT 28081 Washer. This washer broke down after one year and Sears will not take responsibility of fixing it. Our family has used Kenmore products for many decades, shame on Sears I will never trust their product again. It cost me $933 for this washer, which is supposed to be one of the best and efficient washer and an energy saver. I would like Sears to refund me.

I have model #11026132411 and when I wash my dark clothes they come out with white stains on them that are impossible to clean unless I wash my clothes in my daughters Whirlpool machine. I tried cleaning the machine, but that doesnt help!!! I am so frustrated... Another problem with this machine is that you cant modulate the water level. I am VERY disappointed in this machine. I bought a Kenmore because of Sears reputation.

The washer is easy to work, gets clothes clean, is reliable and has lasted a long time. It was a great price and has given no problems. It works every time. Never gives any problems of any kind. It is very plain to look at but it gets the job done. It offers all the cycles I want or need. Well its value is that it was inexpensive enough so I could buy it. I have a washer at my home so I dont have to go anywhere to get the wash done...which is a hassle. It works great and gets the job done.

Kenmore Elite Oasis washer - I bought ours in 07 and started having trouble 6 months after we bought it! It wouldnt start when you pushed the button! We had to keep turning it off and on to get it to finally start! My husband is a Mr. Fix It so he figured out it was the computer board! He made sure all the wires were attached and such! I called Sears to complain and of course, they said I could get a repairman out! I told them it was 6 months old! My husband ordered a new board and put it in then it worked! Then a few months later, it started leaking water on the floor! Thank goodness its in the basement with a drain by it! So I kept using it! So yesterday, I heard a horrible racket coming from the basement, so I ran down and it was spinning with this terrible noise coming from it. So Ive been looking on the net for answers. They did recall them but not until 2010! So mine is too old! Hopefully, my husband can fix it again! Im so disappointed in this washer! You would think for as much money you spend, it wouldnt have this many problems! Our 1st washer lasted 20 years. It was a Maytag. Im not sure if that brand is better or they just dont make them like they used to. I would never recommend this washer to anyone!
