Very well made. Had them for many years and were used many, many times. They were handed down to my daughter to use with her family. I only had to change belts once on washer and twice on dryer.

I have had a Kenmore washer and dryer that lasted for at least 8 years. We recently moved and left the Kenmores at our house that we sold. I think the new people will have some year of service from our Kenmores. Also, we left them a Kenmore refrigerator with side freezer. Sears has good quality Kenmore appliances and I feel I can always trust Kenmore appliances.

Ive never had any issues with Kenmore. It always does a good job drying - at times if I am drying a large item (like a comforter) I dry it twice. Its not fancy - but its got a simple and clean look and I like that. Its very simple with not many settings options - but its not ugly or old looking. We were looking for a budget dryer after having a more expensive one and having lots of issues with it. We feel like we get a ton of bang for our buck with our simple Kenmore. However, I wish it had more temperature options and more time options - maybe a fluff cycle. Overall its a good, sturdy and reliable dryer!

I bought my washer and dryer about 9 yrs ago. They were working fine until last year. I needed a new heating coil on the dryer and a great service man came and fixed it. I got a service contract after that and had some issues with the washer but because of the contract it was fixed with no additional cost. I’m trying to keep them as I’m worried about how the new ones are made.

Performance of this particular washer is great. It cleans my laundry very well. I especially love how well it clean and remove stains from my young childs clothes since he is a very rough and tumble play outside in the dirt, fishing and camping etc. Gets all those fun-filled stains out, nearly always, on the first wash. I find this washer to be very reliable. I have had it now for some time and have not had any trouble with it as far as mechanical or broken parts. Holds up well even with doing laundry daily. I also have a matching dryer, maybe not exactly matching, but the two together are very visually appealing. Most laundry rooms arent clean, organized or aesthetically pleasing and I am proud to leave the door open to that room because it is the opposite of all of which I just described. The clean sharp look of the washer and dryer for sure make this area of my house more modern and wonderful. These two items I purchased and own are more expensive than a majority of your standard washer and dryers out there. I feel, however, they were worth the extra money spent. I would spend that again due to my satisfaction with these appliances.

I love my dryer. Easy to use, like the settings, like the options, quality dryer. The time it takes to dry a load is sufficient, not too long. Vent is easy to empty. The dryer is very reliable. The size is sufficient for a normal load of clothes. Can count on load of clothes being dry after approximately 40 minutes for a large load. Also clothes come out almost wrinkle free if taken out and hung up immediately after dryer is cut off. Happy with color and appearance. Appearance is not all that important to me for a dryer. My washer and dryer are white in color and do not match but look fine together. I am completely satisfied with the value of my dryer. Satisfied with the price I paid, the way it looks, and the way it dries my clothes.

I had a Kenmore washer but no dryer. The Kenmore washer lasted 20 years. The washer was move from one place to another. I cant remember that the Kenmore ever needed repair. I would recommend the Kenmore brand to anyone.

It was really good and I enjoyed using the dryer because it made me feel like I was in control with the warmth and speed. I would recommend this to anyone. It came with a great warranty and a service report, which made me feel at ease. I liked how it dried the clothes and didnt make it pill a lot. The design was sleek, shiny, and wonderful. It caught my eyes because of its size and design, making my decision easy in terms of picking this first. I paid a good price for it, and I was surprised at how low it was. Everyone elses dryer was so expensive but this was really good and I was impressed.

The washer and dryer are a matching set green in color. Theyre working perfectly and they do as they are expected to do. Also, the wash loads are perfect for my amount of laundry and it doesnt take too long to wash or dry. I havent had to have any service to them at all and havent had any problems. I wash and dry 3 or more loads a week for over 6 1/2 years since I purchased them used and for $150 it was a very well investment.

I bought Kenmore washer and dryer in 07. I had to have washer repaired 4 or 5 times. The repairpersons always say they have to replace the board. Todays repairman had to get instructions from someone on the phone in order to complete the task. I am washing now and it is making the same sound it did before repair was done. It sounds like a German tank. I am sure I will have further problems. My Kenmore dryer makes a very loud whining noise. I have used Kenmore washers and dryers for 40 years. This is the first time I have had these kinds of problems.

My Kenmore washer and dryer lasted many years, were maintenance free and I was very happy with them. I have different brands now because choice was made due to budgetary limits and the Kenmore brand was too expensive.

I have had this machine for 3 years now and hate it every time I do laundry. The only function I can use is the timed dry. When I use the other functions, the machine doesnt dry the clothes or takes all day to dry one load. I called a technician to come and look over my dryer. This technician told me that the dry clothes are coming in contact with the sensor inside the machine next to the lint holder and left. I started putting smaller loads in the dryer and did not help. So I tried the timed dry to see if this would work and it does. But why spend money on a machine if you can only use one function? Useless is what I tell ya.

Both the washer and the dryer were priced reasonably well. Neither the washer or the dryer ever broke down, i.e. no service calls. Machines were not overly loud. Both the washer and the dryer worked well for over fifteen years. When I married my second husband, he had newer appliances, so we decided to keep his and sell our Kenmore appliances. The next time we need to buy a washer and a dryer, Kenmore will be in our top ten list of manufacturers. Well probably consider Kenmore, Maytag, and Samsung.

The dryer worked very well and there was a discernible difference in the way the dryer worked according to the settings it was on. It also ran very quietly. Set it and forget it was my motto for this dryer. I didnt have to worry about whether or not the clothes would be dry as the dryer would retain the appropriate level of heat throughout the entire cycle. Simple, sleek and stylish. No unnecessary buttons or settings; the knobs were labeled appropriately and the overall style of the dryer would fit in with any decor. I am unsure of the original price of the dryer, but it worked fantastically and that alone is worth quite a bit in my opinion. The dryer didnt have all the bells and whistles a top line model would have, but it had what it needed.

Dryer worked great for a little over 2 yrs. Right after the warranty was up the heat quit working. We thought it was the heating element. But it turned out to be the computer board. I bought a new dryer for what it would have cost to put a new computer board in it. I really liked the appearance of this dryer. Thats why I bought this style of dryer. But never again. I went back to the old style. Just because they come up with a newer style dryer dont mean its better than the old style. The value of this style dryer was not good at all. The very first dryer I bought which was an old style dryer lasted over 20 yrs. But the new style dryer didnt last 30 months.

I owned a front load washer and dryer. I enjoyed the large amount of clothes that I could wash and dry. Even comforters were no problem for these machines. Unfortunately when the belts went out, it was not possible to have them repaired. The cost of repair would have been substantial. It was more feasible to buy a used washer, not a front load unfortunately. Keep up your extended warranty if you can afford it, and this will be the best washer and dryer you will ever own.

The washer has a problem with balance and a load often needs to be distributed manually during the cycle; the dryer is not very effective when multiple towels are included in the load. The performance is pretty consistent from load to load = the need for rebalancing of the wash happens routinely, and having wet towels at the end of a drying cycle recurs pretty often. The washer and dryer were not bought at the same time, so one is white and one is beige; other than that, they fit my laundry room well and are not too obtrusive. Considering I have had the washer and dryer for 10 and 8 years, respectively, they have been great values. But given the improved current technologies, if I were in the market today, they would not be considered good values based on their performance.

I was pleased with my Kenmore washer and dryer. I had to replace a motor on the washing machine after three years, which I felt was a little early but otherwise it worked fine. The Dryer worked fine and never gave us any trouble.

I have purchased Kenmore washers and dryers new as well as used. In my current residence I have both a washer and dryer that are both Kenmore. The dryer was purchased new and the washer was purchased used. I purchased the dryer at Lowes in PA. The price of the dryer was low and it was pretty energy efficient. The washer performs great for being used. It was only $50. The dryer performs all the functions that are needed. I dont like the newer electronic washers for several reasons. First, the cost it too high. Second, the cost of detergent is more as well. Third, I did purchase one and it ended up breaking. I paid a costly repair from a certified repair man and it ended up breaking again. I have also had friends and family members that have had similar experiences with the new electronic washers and dryers. But, mainly the washers.

Works like a dryer should. Havent had any problems. Easy to use and a good overall option. It gets clothes dry and isnt complicated. Its reliable and can fit all needed items but could be somewhat small I guess for someone with a larger family. Im only one person so I dont have much of an issue but I think any dryer is kind of compact if youre doing laundry for more than 1 person. Kind of old looking but appearance isnt my top priority in a dryer. If you want something high-tech looking this might not be your option. Fairly simple. Not a big issue though. Is a good value. Dryers are dryers. It gets the clothes dry and it does it simply. Appearance is decent. Value is good too. There are some which are a better value, there are some that are worse.

Both the washer and dryer perform well. We had few problems with them. They lasted a long time. I would be happy to purchase a Kenmore again. I only have good things to say about them.

My Kenmore top load high efficiency washing machine has a large tub so you can effectively clean a large load of clothes or a heavy winter quilt. The dryer easily dries the large loads and the great thing about the dryer is that everything comes out with no wrinkles.

I have only owned Kenmore washer and dryer brand. Absolutely wonderful and they truly last!!! My two sets I have owned were hand me downs and the first set lasted 11 years with NO issues, we just decided to upgrade so I sold them. My next purchase will be the same.

Very efficient drying clothes no matter how much clothes are inside. Lint was easy to remove after drying clothes also. It also had plenty of space for clothes. Very durable, never had heating element go out or any other issues. I had a warranty on the dryer but never had to use it. I think it was very good at drying clothes. Dryer was white in color and front loading for adding clothes to it. It has a see through door which you can watch your clothes dry. It has also a metal frame For the price of the dryer I feel it has had great value and last a very long time. I feel its a great dryer with nice features for anyone to use.

My dryer worked fine until the seal started to mold badly and we had to replace it after only 2 years. I have no idea how a dryer could mold but ours did. Please if you want a long lasting dryer dont buy this one. I could fit all my clothes but I normally had to do two or three rounds of drying before towels and sheets dried. All the regular clothing items did dry but some things would shrink if the setting changed drastically. Very nice to look at. It was a bit larger than expected but we fit it in right next to the washer. The front opening was very useful to look at the clothes inside. Probably not worth very much in my opinion. My friend has a different version and hers breaks down quite a lot. Probably not the best to buy if you want a good dryer.

I had both washer and dryer and they both worked great until I moved to a place where I could not have a washer or dryer. I would be highly grateful if I could have both my washer and dryer back. I could always rely on both my washer and/or dryer. They never failed me. Both always performed to an excellent level. I never had to wonder if I was going to have either my washer or dryer to work when I needed them to work. I would highly recommend a washer and dryer. I never had any trouble with either my washer or dryer. If I had the opportunity, I would highly recommend either my washer or dryer. Although my washer and dryer were pricey, they were well worth the money I had to pay for them. If I had the opportunity, I would be glad to recommend either my washer or dryer at any time.

Sears makes a good product in Kenmore washers and dryers. They clean and dry well without being overly expensive. Quiet. Lasts a long time without many repairs. Very reliable. Does not need many repairs. Good size. Can wash good sized loads with no problem. Very seldom breaks. Tough, hard working washers and dryers. Looks like normal washers, tough, clean lines. Comes in several choices of colors and finishes, and comes in several styles and sizes. Washes clothes very well.

Broke soon after warranty expired then started to leak. Just ended up replacing the unit with an LG. I will not buy Kenmore ever again. The washer started out working very well. Unfortunately the machine did not last as long as I hoped it would. The dryer has worked fine. The design and aesthetics of these machines is very pleasing and attractive. I have been very happy with the way these machines look. Since I just had to buy a new washer three years before I was planning I dont feel as if the value of the washer is that great considering.

Kenmore Front Loading washer and dryer, 7 years. Like the front loading and water/electricity efficiency. The dryer is humidity intolerant according to the service department. Control boards have been replaced twice since we bought it. Having to repair a brand new dryer is not something that we expected. Will not purchase from Kenmore again. The control boards are NOT cheap. The feature list for the washer and dryer are long. Many different cycles for both the washer and dryer and the washer has custom cycles. The dryer is not as efficient as it should be and sometimes takes multiple cycles to dry items such as jeans and blankets. This does not however make up for the multiple repairs on the dryer within the first 2 years of ownership.

The dryer performed as expected, and generally got all of the clothes dry. Occasionally if there was more than a standard load or a heavy item, I had to put some things back for 10 or 15 minutes. I bought scratch and dent at an outlet, but it didnt affect performance and really looked good too as the dents werent readily visible. I was happy with the purchase. Most of the time, it fit everything I needed it to. I found it to be very reliable. I never had any problems with it as there were no maintenance issues. I would recommend it to others. Considering it was scratch and dent, it looked very good and would have looked good if bought at the regular store too. The dents were located where you wouldnt notice them unless you were specifically looking for them. It had the appearance of a normal dryer. While it didnt have all the bells and whistles, I felt that its performance was at least as good as the higher end machines. It was a great value as it got the clothes dry, but didnt cost an arm and a leg.

This washer is promoted as a large load, energy-efficient design. If you put more than half a load the washer spins so out of control that it shakes my whole 2 story house. Then it starts the rinse cycle again and drains in an attempt to even out the load. One time I let it progress to 10 extra cycles until I could not take it anymore and had to unplug, empty clothes wet, ring out by hand and then put in the dryer. The fact there has not been a recall or a buyback program is a joke. Whatever engineer designed, tested and put this to market should be ashamed of themselves.

Never had service issues with washer or dryer and operating system was good until I had a flood in basement that ruined the motors and they could not be repaired. I replaced them with Kenmore appliances again.

Bought my top load washing machine with matching dryer 11 years ago and have never had any issues with it. My 19 year old grandson does his own laundry too and figured out all the features on his own.

I like the sleek look with very detailed instructions and large tubs. They get clothes very clean in the washing and they dry quickly and the clothes come out soft and with very few wrinkles. They are stylish and last a very long time and are always dependable. I can always count on Kenmore to give me the results I am looking for and expect in the washers and dryers. I will continue to purchase Kenmore. Kenmore products are reliable and quiet when in use and always do the job.

I was not impressed with this washer. I went from using a regular washer to this and the clothes didnt come clean even on a small load. The washer barely filled with water and some of the clothes came out of the wash still having dry spots on them from where they didnt even get wet. This washer was not reliable because the clothes didnt get clean and some didnt even get wet. Not to mention that it takes over an hour to wash one load of laundry. The washer looked nice but it just didnt wash good. I sent it back after 3 days of use. The metal that the washer was made from also seemed kind of flimsy. I paid over a thousand dollars for the washer and dryer set and was very disappointed. It used very little water and didnt even cover the clothes leaving dry spots on some of the clothes from not agitating very well.

I had this washer & dryer when my kids was small and it handled all the dirty laundry that my family had each week for years. A highly dedicated lasting product. I loved the machine and the dryer and even though it was a long time ago, the machines never failed me and was easy to repair.

I have always trusted Kenmore appliances. They last, durable and do their job! I will continue to purchase Kenmore appliances in the future. I currently own a washer and dryer and cant wait to own a home so that I can buy all new Kenmore appliances!

I purchased a Kenmore Dryer in June 2012. I put a load of wash in it and it had this very loud grinding noise. I took the top off to see if the belt was broke, but all looks intact. I spun the drum to see if maybe something was lodged in there and it did not make any harsh noise. I never overload the dryer (my son broke one before by doing that. I know the expense). The warranty just expired - go figure. I called Kenmore to see what I can do and they said they can have someone over that same day. That was very impressive. However, they said it would cost me $97.00 just to have the service man ring my doorbell, and depending on what is wrong with the dryer it could cost almost $500. I only paid $450.00 for it. So, I said no to the service call. I am on a low budget I could not afford that. I put the dryer on lay-a-way for six months thats how low my budget is. I purchased a Kenmore washer and dryer because of the reputation and good products they sell. Ive always purchased Kenmore appliances. I am very disappointed in this product and extremely dissatisfied with Kenmore. Is there anyone out there that can help me.

The product dries everything very well. It has enough categories to cover all different types of clothes and fabrics. I have never had any problems drying blankets or loads of towels, let alone standard loads of clothes. It is very easy to use, just pick your setting and push the button. The sensors know how long your load needs and will set the timer accordingly. It also has a classic appearance that fits in with any laundry room. While the controls are modern, the body remains fully classical and never grows old. Also, it doesnt use that much electricity and will chime when the load is done. It does its job every time without fail. What more could you ask for in a dryer?

These appliances came with the new house purchased over 10 years ago and I am still using both to this day without any problems. The washing machine is a top loader with the standard features and the dryer is a front loader electric dryer. Being an electric dryer I dont use it as much, only for large items such as sheets and hard to dry items especially in the winter time.

I cant get my clothes clean using the washer. Lint is left in large splotches on dark clothes or in a light layer all over everything. Customer service is non-existent. Everyone says the same thing, the machine is designed to operate like this and the techs have no background to adjust the electronics (could be water level sensor, could be software - the mechanic they send cant do any of it). I think its actually dangerous to have this amount of lint in my house. It stays on my towels, linens, and dont talk about the mattress pad!

It dries your clothes fast but does NO damage to them. Its quiet when it is running. It lasts a long time. I love it, good brand to buy. It has never gave me any problems for as long as I have owned it and that says a lot to me. You want to buy a good product and I would say this is one. It has a nice sleek modern look to it but I think most washers/dryers look almost about the same so really you cant go wrong with the look of them. You want a product that gives you bang for your buck (a good value) and that also lasts a long time with no problems and that is what I got.

I purchased a new Kenmore Elite Oasis washer and dryer and it has been the worst purchase of my life. The washer always displays LF and I have to re-position the clothes. The bleach stays full in the dispenser. The dryer is defective and always says the lint is full when it is NOT. My check did not bounce, but their product did! I want a refund!!! I will NEVER EVER purchase another Kenmore. They suck!

Loved the dryer, very fast - I can have dry clothes in 20 minutes. Also the wrinkle free setting is amazing - best part about it. Fits in a small space and works amazingly you should get it. I have had this machine for 4 years now. Had no one to come and repair the machine. Amazing product. It has not broken down or given up on me even when I have family over and do 10+ loads back to back. It looks great and it works great. The size of it is also great. It is also a great buck for space if you live in a small house - the space is amazing. The size and appended are great. It looks amazing. The money was worth what I got - it was a shiny nickel. I had a dryer before that was a couple years old and would always break down. I spent more repair that stupid thing than buy this awesome dryer.

We have purchased the Kenmore Elite in July 2011 at Sears. First, the clothes were washed okay. Then I started to notice that the clothes do not look clean and doesnt smell fresh. I decided to rinse them with my hands before putting them into a dryer. The results were astonishing! The water is dirty, soupy and brownish in color. I have to rinse clothes three to four times until the water gets clean. My elbows and shoulders started to ache.

I purchased a Kenmore Washer & Dryer set used from a neighbor that was moving away, and I was very satisfied with it. It worked well and lasted a long time. I still have the dryer and would still have the washer, but my son took it upon himself to purchase me a brand new washer of a different brand.

Bought an apartment washer and dryer and ever since day one it did not perform well. Timer went out, a main washer engine part went bad and had to be replaced. Very poor service provided by Sears. Every six months the washer or dryer would have issues. Cost more to repair in the years than buying a new one.

Kenmore front load connect washer and dryer - My wife is ready to kill me. I talked her into spending a lot of money on our new washer and dryer - man she could kill me. The washer takes long time and clothes still smell mildew and moldy, and we run the cleaner through it 2 times a week. The dryer never seems to get clothes dry and you just have to keep re-running them. I thought by paying a lot more for washer and dryer, we would be worry free - I couldnt be more wrong. I do not recommend them to anyone - better off throwing your money down the drain; own these and you will. And forget Sears to make anything right, you will be wasting your time.

It does a good job getting the clothes clean. Best purchase choice I have made in a long time. I would definitely recommend it for doing a great job cleaning any size load. It is a good color, matches the dryer. Modern look piece of furniture. Makes a good addition to your laundry room. Cost efficient. It was well worth the money I paid for it. Happy with the washer.

After 52 years of great performing Maytag sets, we decided to buy into the HE type washer. The $1400.00 combined price for the Kenmore Elite top-of-the-line set was an immediate disaster (Jan.1911). From day one, both the washer AND the dryer left clothes with a nasty odor. We wiped the washer dry, left washer and dryer doors open when finished, tried bleach, vinegar, baking soda, Tide and Affresh washing machine cleaners to no avail, for (3) years.Fortunately, we bought the extended warranty for the washer ONLY and after the first year, the clutch went out. Then we had the infamous recall to fix spinning problems which resulted in increasing an already unbearable cycle time. Service Calls could not help with the odor situation and we could no longer put up with barely washed and dried smelly laundry and pitched a brand new beautiful looking washer and dryer set out the door. Replaced with a wonderful Speed Queen, American-made set.

It does a good job of getting my clothes clean. I like how quiet it is and its easy to use. A nice washing machine. I would buy this brand again. I can fit all my clothes in here with no problems and they will still get clean and I have no problem with washing my towels. I can fit at least 15 towels or more. Its a nice washer, looks great and I like the color. It goes well with my old dryer. Its nice and shiny. The value is very good and it was in my budget which is nice and I will be buying the matching dryer when my old one quits on me.

Washer works very well and the dryer works very quickly and efficiently. Would like to get a bigger capacity dryer though but the washing machine works really well. The washer could be a larger so we could wash bigger loads and the dryer could be larger for big blankets and quilts. I could use a more efficient washing machine. Both the washer and dryer look all right but could be more rugged and sturdy. Maybe taller and less wider so they can fit in smaller spaces. The washer and dryer are worth the amount we paid for them. Just think we need to spend more money for a bigger capacity washer and dryer.

This washing machine has so much room for really large loads, cutting down my laundry time by at least half. Probably more. I love it so much. This is the best and most reliable washing machine I have ever used. Works like a dream every single time I use it. I see no reason to believe that this will change anytime soon. It is a beautiful washing machine and the dryer that goes with it is too. They make my laundry room so beautiful and Im proud to show it off. It has been a terrific value for my money thus far, as I have previously elaborated on, cuts my laundry time by half at least.

I was very pleased with my Kenmore washer and dryer. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a washer and dryer. They were the best brand I had ever bought. My Kenmore washer and dryer were very reliable. I never had a problem and never had to call a serviceman. They withstood any amount of clothes I put in them. Where can you order a washer and dryer were very nice looking machines. They were in perfect shape when I got them and they would stick a long time. They stayed in excellent shape the whole time I had them. The value of my Kenmore washer and dryer was remarkable. I would have thought they would of cost a lot more than they actually did. I couldnt believe they were that low priced.

I have had the same wash dryer for almost 10 years, they both still work great! I also grew up using the same name of appliances. The Kenmore products have always been used in my home. And I would recommend Kenmore any day.

Both my washer and dryer are used. Probably 15 years old at least. I have had to replace a belt on the washer and the element in the dryer. Not a big deal though, they are easy to get parts for and work on.

Old machine but is reliable and gets the job done well. Ive been using Kenmore appliances for a few years now and have never been disappointed with its performance. I know that every time I use it my clothes will come out clean with almost no lint left on them. It also isnt as loud as other machines out there. Standard look, not an eyesore in any way but not fancy either, it has the simple yet efficient look of dependability. It is all white and easy to clean or wipe down if detergent is spilled on it, good size so doesnt take up too much space in the garage. I bought this maybe 4-5 years ago and it still is working as good as the first year of owning it. The newer models look nice and have more features, but if this one gives me 5+ more years, Im satisfied with the model I currently have.

The Kenmore washer and dryer were both very good machines. After 12 years they both went out washer go out first. A week later the dryer went next. For a family of seven I have to say they were the best so far and would stick to the brand.

It is a good washer machine. Its HE efficient. The Kenmore brand is very good at producing washer/dryer machines that are of quality. The washer machine is reliable. It can fit all of my items according to its settings (like cotton, delicates, etc.). The appearance of the washer machine is satisfactory, in my opinion. The important thing is functionality of the product. The machine is efficient in its work. The value of the machine is good. The price of the machine was a fair market value price, not overly expensive.

The washer wasnt the most high-tech washer Ive ever seen, but it does its job. Ive found a lot of newer washers dont last as long but this one has lasted and cleans clothes thoroughly. Traditional white washer. Nothing extra special. It looks like a washer, but it goes with my dryer. It was expensive, but not unreasonable for a washer. It runs well and lasts, so for me it is worth the money. I would buy this washer again but maybe a newer version.

It cleaned the clothes well. Was large capacity. It was durable & long lasting. It was also easy to use and easy to install. I liked the multiple cycles the most. It always performed to my expectations & never let me down. It always got my clothes clean and I never had to worry about it. It lasted way longer than I thought it would for the money. It had a clean simple look to it that would fit into any decor & would pair nicely with any similar designed dryer. It is what I expect a wash machine to look like. It was well worth the price I paid seeing how durable & long lasting it was. If you are in the market for a machine that wont break the bank & will last then this is the machine for you.

My old washing machine broke. I had it for 15 years, never had to fix it. I kept looking at these beautiful washers in the store that would wash the whole bed spread. No more going to the laundromat to wash my bed spread I thought. So I bought the Kenmore elite wondering how it would clean my clothes with no agitator in it. I was told it was new technology. I dont know why I assume the makers knew what they were doing. I hate my washer for so many reasons. It doesnt clean my clothes very good, even a small load. When I put a large load in it, it knots the clothes up so bad I cant hardly get them apart. They are so wrinkled theyre almost permanently wrinkled. When I wash a bedspread it gets off balance and stops, so I have to pull the heavy thing out and restart many times until it finally finishes. That might not be so bad if it actually got clean. My dark cloths keep having a white residue on them and I can only guess that the light cloths do too. My whites are getting more and more dingy and whatever goes in with a spot comes out with a spot. Now Im looking for an older set like I had before on Craigslist and I dont know what to do with my 2000 dollar waste of money set because how can I sell it in good conscience knowing what a bad washer it is. The dryer I have had no problems with.

Numerous Fdl, F11 and vibration problems: I purchased the machine in mid 2005 with five-year extended warranty. I had the CCU on both washer and dryer replaced. I complained numerous times over the course of five years about vibration and tub actually banging against the case. Each time, the technicians would stonewall me saying they could not replicate the problem. I repaired the CCU again and vibration has gotten worse. Finally, I heard about class action lawsuit going forward, but now after three years out of extended warranty, I am ready to give up and buy an LG or Samsung. So my laundry pair lasted 8 years and cost me over $2,000. My previous set cost half that and lasted 14 years. No more Sears for me, sad to say. Frustrating, to say the least.

The washer worked for a good 7 years then just started having little glitches during the wash cycle. We were offered a brand new set for free from a family member so thats the main reason we got rid of our Kenmore washer and dryer.

These HD ones are fantastic. Our washer is top load and the dryer is front load. They handle bigger loads but use less water and detergent/suds which is good for the environment. We have had one for a few years and would only buy them over and over.

Low water usage, cleans well and cycle is pretty quick. It does large loads well and has many cycles to choose from so no matter if you are doing a large load of towels or a small load of delicates, the machine cleans them well. This is a very reliable machine. I have had no problems with it. It had never been a problem. It has codes that will flash to let you know if there is a problem. It has a clean color that is easy to keep clean. It has a very streamlined look that fits well in any place you need to have it in your home. This machine is a great value for the money. It performs well and can be repaired if necessary with no problem. The next time I have to purchase a washer and dryer, I will purchase this brand.

Since we purchased the Kenmore Elite washer and dryer, the dryer has not functioned properly. It has never dried clothing completely. A large quantity of clothing cannot be placed to dry either, as the clothes are left completely wet. A year later and it has not gotten better. Sears sales and customer service are worthless to call. We are very frustrated with the entire experience!

Just works great. Load after load the washer gets my clothes cleaned. Just doesnt seem to wear and tear like others. It will eventually wear and tear but I feel this will last me the value I paid for it. My clothes are getting clean the same way as my very first load. Kenmore has reliability in its name and it shows in their products namely the washer. I feel Im gonna wash at least 1 million loads and each one will be like 1st wash. I am the type to enjoy fashion and this washer just doesnt have a sleek look. I know that people dont want to look at my washer and dryer but if it has a sleek, personal look, I would gladly show it off. I paid about $600 and it is well worth it.

Buyer beware!!! I purchased a washer, dryer and refrigerator, all Kenmore Elite and they have been the WORST purchases I have EVER made in my life (except the dryer). It has been 3 years but my problems began within the first few months. The water never got cold from day one on the fridge door even after 2 service calls to Sears. The washer I have had to call and have repaired 6 times. Every, I mean EVERY drawer and shelf in the refrigerator and freezer broke within the first year and were not covered under warranty. This is not what you expect from a $6000.00 purchase!!! You expect more peace of mind from expensive appliances but the technicians from Sears kept telling me that the items are crappy and not Kenmore at all. They just slap their names on them. I am considering taking my complaints on to the Better Business Bureau and anyone else I can find to complain to.

I have always owned the Kenmore brand. I find the machines have a wonderful look to them. My machines always get my clothes clean and dried in a short amount of time. I am proud of the way they look and clean. I get compliments on my washer and dryer. That makes me feel that I chose the best for me and my family. I would recommend this brand above the rest of the brands. You really get your monies worth to. Christmas is coming. Reward yourselves this year.

My Kenmore dryer is reliable and dries everything from towels to delicates. It has an alarm that alerts me when a load is done. The alarm can be turned off when I dont want to bother others in the house. It also has a wrinkle reducer option for times when I cant interrupt what Im doing to take clothes out of the dryer. My Kenmore dryer works well. It has settings for drying everything from my delicate nightie to my husbands denim jeans. It a very reliable machine that I expect to last well over 15 years. The dryer has a sleek appearance with clearly marked settings for operating it. There are three knobs, one on the left and two on the right. We shopped at several stores and researched online before choosing this dryer. It had the features we wanted at a reasonable price. We were able to buy it during an appliance sale, so we were able to get even more value for our money.

Although it is just your basic dryer, it works well. It doesnt have the bells and whistles, it does do what it is intended for which is drying clothes. It was a dependable machine that never needed servicing. The machine is capable of holding a large load very easily. It will also easily handle small loads. It can handle delicates as well as heavy duty loads. Cant go wrong with this machine. Modern sleek lines. Looks nice in any home. I would highly recommend this machine for all your laundry needs. It doesnt get any better than this. All machines are costly. You get what you pay for. You can get cheaper machines but you would be sacrificing quality for saving a few dollars.

My dryer has been very good. It dries a lot of clothes in a small amount of time. The clothes come out very warm and dry! The dryer is so reliable! I have had it for a couple of years and nothing has happened to it! It is strong and sturdy! It has never failed me and always dries the clothes. The appearance is nice. It is a very classic white dryer. Its very nice and the buttons are easy to use. It is very self-explanatory and very nice and clean. The value for this dryer is excellent because it has never broken down and still dries like the first time. The price is good and it does its job. I recommend it to everyone!

I have a Kenmore washer 11045986 400 and dryer that matches. Washer has broke for the third time and the dryer has a short in circuit board. I cannot wash clothes and these machines were very expensive and sears wants to charge me over 300 dollars for a service call when I already paid for the same problem.

I decided to buy a top-of-the-line Kenmore washer and dryer. Worked great for 4 months then started breaking. Constant breakdowns on the washer - not so much on the dryer. Purchased at Sears along with extended warranty. As I write this I have been waiting 4 weeks for repairs. Parts are never in stock and it takes 2 weeks for Sears tech to visit. As the repairman said last week I should follow the delivery truck each time a new one is delivered. That says it all.

It cleans clothes thoroughly. The dryer dries satisfactorily. We have never had problems using either of these appliances. I would recommend them to anyone. They are easy to use and do not run our water and electric bills up and we use them daily. We can depend on our appliances to work whenever we need them. We have had them for years and have never had problems out of them except having to replace some kind of rubber gasket in the dryer one time. But now it works just like it is brand new. I like the white color. It matches my dryer. It is easy to keep clean because of the removing lid feature and the outside is entirely metal so it can be wiped down and bleached even as needed. The washer and dryer we purchased were an excellent product for the price. We received a discount on them and that is what made us decide to go with the brand that we chose and we couldnt be happier.

We have a Kenmore Elite Smart Wash Quietpak 4 model 11049962603 that we bought in 08/2009 with a 2-year warranty. It is now 11/2011. The machine was replacing a 30 yr. old Maytag that still worked. Our 30 yr. old dryer had died and we thought we would buy a new energy saving set. We were sorry we did. The Maytag would probably still be working. The washer just stopped working the other day. We called Sears Repair to fix it (thats where we got it from). The repair guy came out and said the motor board needed to be replaced. He quoted us $671.13 to repair it. We paid $863.99 plus taxes for the machine (see the problem here?). We refused service at this time, because we wanted to see if something could be done about the costs. In my opinion, we would be better off getting another new machine that doesnt have 2 years of wear and tear on it (we are out $129 for the service call already).I called their 800 number to see if anything could be done. Yes, this is outsourced. I wish they would give the jobs to Americans. We need all the jobs we can get. Well, as with many others, I was told there was absolutely nothing they could do except sell me a 1-year extended warranty for $319.99. It would cover the cost of the repair guy, any parts and labor up to $500. If we take this route, we will be out $129 for the original service call, $319.99 for the warranty, and $171.13 for the costs above $500. The grand total is $620.12 (not much savings here). I called the Escalation Department at 800-376-0557 (at least, I got an American this time). Again, I was told there was nothing they could do since the warranty expired 3 months ago on my 2-year-old machine.The entire time I questioned them all on the price of the part to fix our machine. The repair guy wanted to charge us $503 for the part. On the Sears website, the part is going for $372.70. I asked everyone why such a big difference in the price to no avail. I was told, I dont know anything about the website.” Or, I was told, The repair people and the website each charge their own prices.” I was told by the repair guy that if we picked up the part ourselves, he would install it for another $129 for the call. The grand total here is $501.70 plus the $129 for the original service call. Well, if you are going to gouge customers for not only the service call but also on the parts, I am taking my business elsewhere because of the principle of it all. My husband searched the part out at other places online and we found we could pick the part up starting at $142 for a refurbish and around $225ish for new (we may fix it ourselves).

My washer and dryer have both been very good to us. Weve had them about 4 years now, and the only issue weve had is the dryer quit heating one day and we needed to replace a tiny, cheap part. No problems since then. Thanks Kenmore!

Purchased a Kenmore Elite Washer & Dryer on Dec. 13, 2019. One week later I got water damage to my laundry room cabinets and drywall due to water leaking from the steam hose connected to the dryer. Still haven’t heard back from the Sears Insurance company and my laundry room smells like mildew and mold now. They think it’s the hose from the appliance? The washing machine is okay but started to make a funny noise when it starts and the speed cycle takes forever to finish. I was scared to keep these products even though I purchased a five year warranty.Due to all these problems in just a short time owning them we decided to return both items. “No Confidence” in these Kenmore appliances. Customer service department was a bit frustrating to deal with, dealing with water damage, the smell and not understanding what they were saying was not a good experience. I do not recommend these products! My previous 16 year old washer and dryer were Kenmore Elite. Quality really has gone down!☹️

The washer cycles are fast and very efficient and it is very easy to learn and use. Also the capacity is very large so can do larger loads and get laundry done in a more timely manner. Never had a problem with the washer or its components. And it always got the laundry done in a timely manner while still making all the clothing clean and fresh. Very appealing and fit nicely next to the dryer. Didnt take up to much room in the area we had them set up and got a lot of compliments on how they looked. Very good value for the washer. They do cost a bit more than others but for the quality of the washer it is well worth the price. I didnt mind paying a little extra once seen how it performs.

It works very well and dries the clothing. It leaves my clothing fluffed, not wrinkled, and is very quiet. I have never had to get it repaired. It works efficiently. It does not generate much lint either. I like the sleekness and color of the dryer. I like the buttons on the dryer too. It is easy to operate. It fits well in the laundry room too. It opens well and fits many clothes in it. It is a good value for the money. It does not need to be repaired. It cuts down on my electric bills too.

We purchased a complete set of SEARS ELITE Kenmore frontload washer & dryer, plus drawers that go under each machine & last thing was metal cap/shelf that goes on top/across machines to keep items from behind or between machine gap is great for folding station. This is a wonderful set. It has all the bells & whistles I could ask for on both washer/dryer. Washer has a huge stainless steel drum that is great for doing large or very small loads. It save water & detergent. Dryer has capability of doing those large load or very small, it can do time set or automatic dryer. We use the TOUCH UP option when we miss taking a completed load out of dryer immediately & fold or hang. This complete system is wonderful. We have had this set since 2008 with no problem. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone.

Kenmore is reliable, long lasting, and does what I need to get done with no problems. They are quite possibly the best washers and dryers I have ever owned. Quiet and efficient, well made and durable. I have owned my set of Kenmore washer and dryer for a good while now. They are very reliable and in my opinion well worth the price and are very well made. Kenmore is modern looking and high quality. They also can be bought in colors from what I understand to match the decor that you would want. Streamline design and a perfect fit in my home. The high quality is well worth the price which is reasonable of the Kenmore washer and dryer. The price for what you get a really great value from a top brand.

Strong... Fast and everything you would want. Not only does it quickly wash all your clothes. It gives it a special soothing smell that makes it AMAZING. And when I bought it... It was cheaper than other dryers and washers. I love it. It has a Nice... Professional... Cool look. I would look at it and be like DAYUM you is a fine washer. But then other ones are like What the hell is that. VALUE is perfect. It looks good. It washes good. It is new. The only thing I would change is how long it would stay a good washer.

I have had my washer and dryer for about 18 years and knock on wood it has never give me any problems. It take a licking and keeps on kicking. I would recommend them to anyone. Mine are getting old and outdated but still does the job and I would buy that brand again. The appearance is not very pretty anymore, but they are in a washroom so that does not matter. What matters is that they are still after all these years still functional. I cant remember what I paid for the set 19 years ago but it was worth whatever it was. They have seen to my need and I do about 4 loads a week every week.

I grew up in a Kenmore household. The parents swore by the brand. In the few times we needed to replace an appliance, Sears was there with a new Kenmore unit. My parents house is still occupied by a number of older Kenmore appliances, some have to be pushing 25 years. So when the builder grade appliances started dying in my house after 13+ years, I naturally choose Kenmore as a replacement and dropped over $1,600 for a new washer and dryer. Sears showed up on time, installed the washer and dryer, neat and clean and were gone. All they left was the boxes the washer and dryer came in and the neighborhood kids loved playing in them just as I did when I was young. That was four (4) years ago. Sears no longer stands behind you (or for that matter beside you) after your one year warranty expires.We developed gunk in our washing machine despite the monthly cleanouts (BTW anyone ever remember having to clean a washing machine except if a crayon went through it?). It just showed up in a load one day and will not go away. I started looking to find the cause and came across rust around the bleach dispenser. Apparently the quality today is not as it once was. My parents have an older Kenmore that presents no rust at all. I do not know how old it is, but I can tell you it came in avocado green (late 70s maybe?). I hope the pictures I attached show the gunk (picture taken after 5 cleaning cycles), rust in the area of the dispenser (with dispenser removed), some debris that ended up in the lint filter of the dryer, and black specks that seem to have become stuck on the dryer.If you look closely at the specks you can see bare metal, this is what happened to the finish as I tried to remove the black specs with my fingernail - THE FINISH CAME OFF! Mind you, these units are only 4 years old even though they have enormous capacity, they only service two adults and one child. So I called Sears Home Services to see what would be involved with replacing the washer top panel. I gave them the model and serial number per their request and was informed that the only way Sears Home Services could determine how much it would be to replace the part would be for me to spend $79 for them to come out and take a look. I informed them that outside the rusted part, the unit seemed to be operating fine, dirty, but fine. Again I was informed of the $79 fee and Sears started to make an appointment. I hesitated and asked if the part I needed replaced was available, I was told that they had no way of determining if the part was available unless the service tech came out for a fee of $79 - only the techs can order parts.So I asked, just to confirm, The only way I can find out even if the part is available is to pay the $79 and have someone come out and look at it. I was told, Yes and that if I proceeded with the repair the estimate fee would be returned to me (Ill get to more on that in a little bit). I then asked if the part was not available, and I could not proceed with the repair, would I still be responsible for the $79. Again, I was told, Yes and that if I proceeded with the repair the $79 would be refunded. When I asked how they would proceed with the repair if the parts were not available I was told that would be up to the tech to determine. THAT MY FRIENDS IS SOME FINE QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE RIGHT THERE! Unbelievable. So I said, No thanks, and hung up the phone.I proceeded to search the net for the part and I found it at Sears Parts Direct and it showed available and that it took an average of 1hr and 45min to install. After hitting the chat button and providing my model and serial number again, I soon found that I could have the part delivered to my house in a couple days for a little over $100 and it was guaranteed to fit. I was stunned. Not 10 minutes prior to this I was told by Sears Home Services that there was no way to know if the part was available and only techs could order it. Hmmmm...Armed with new knowledge, I called back Sears Home Services and asked what the rate ($/hr) or cost would be make the repair based on the information provided by Sears Parts Direct. They again stated that the only way they could determine how much it would cost would be to pay the $79 and have someone provide an estimate and that the $79 would be deducted if I proceeded with the repairs. I again informed them that I knew the part was available, I knew how much it cost, I knew how long it took to put in (according to Sears Parts Direct). Again, Sears Home Services informed me The only way we can tell you how much it costs is to pay the $79 and have someone come out, keep in mind that the $79 fee is removed if you proceed with the repair.Then it dawned on me, how would I ever know if it was removed or not? By paying the $79 and authorizing Sear Home Services to come out. I just signed up for some unknown cost, but I knew I would be out at least $79. I know the part cost and how long it takes to put in. But is that labor rate $50/hr? $100/hr? $350/hr? At some point the $79 is irrelevant and the process is preposterous.Let me apply the same process to something a little more familiar. You want to get something to eat. You go into a restaurant that advertises cheeseburgers (among other things), you ask how much a cheeseburger is and are told that the only way to find out how much a cheeseburger costs is to pay $20 and then a waiter will come over and tell you how much the cheeseburger is. If you buy the cheeseburger they will deduct the $20 waiter fee from the final bill. If you are there to offer them a chance to redeem themselves for a subpar meal you had there some time ago and you only went there because a few of your friends still say it is the great restaurant from many years past, that begs the question, would you drop the $20 to see how much a cheeseburger is?In checking with Sears Parts Direct, apparently Sears does not sell a service manual so that people can service their own appliances. It really is not that hard to do if you know how, the question is the know how. I guess by not providing this information Sears Home Services can keep the $79 racket going. Sears Parts Direct did suggest I try the Ask an Expert section of their website. I did and was unable to post a question/request there. I kept getting messages to try again later or that my search criteria was not found. So far I would say this is not Sears Parts Directs problem but rather an issue from some other Sears subsidiary that handles IT and is suppose to keep these sites going.I did email in my request for either a how to or a service manual. They again asked for the model and serial number, I responded and am awaiting a response. I will see what they come up with. I hope they can do better. I will update with their response. From my go around, so far Sears / Kenmore is not even close to what they used to be. A life expectancy of only 4 years for a $1,600 washer and dryer. Really? Sears has passed on providing quality service and quality products in the name of... oh jeez. I am not sure what they are getting in return besides a bad reputation. I was going to say higher profits, but reading the news - that is not the case. Corporate survival? That is questionable, again reading the news. If Sears is going to sell junk and not stand behind their own brand, there is simply no reason to continue to do business there.Relationships are salvageable, but it takes efforts on both sides. I am willing to my part, hey Sears - you game? I can only hope that Sears spins off Craftsman and Kenmore early enough that those two entities can stage a turn around and not suffer the image blow that Diehard has recently suffered. Buyer beware. Nothing is Elite about Kenmore Elite or Sears Home Services.

Fabulous HE front loader washer and dryer. Gets the job done quick and quietly. Large and/or small loads. Great for a large or small family. But can only use HE detergent or you will have suds and washer will stop.

It is very quiet when working & dries clothes very quickly. The dryer is very good value for money in my opinion. I have had no problems since buying the dryer. My dryer is very reliable and it has been consistent since the day I bought it. I have never had any problems with it. I can fit a full load in if needed. It can fit comforters and pillows as well. It looks basic - clean, white and would fit in with any color scheme or decor. It more or less matches my washer even though it is an older washer. This dryer was actually the cheapest in the whole store, although it works as good as my old more expensive one. I think it has been great value for money so far. I hope it lasts long.

I bought the washer and dryer set with the pedestals when I had my house built 8 years ago and spent over $2,500. I will never, ever again buy such an expensive set and will never, ever again buy anything from Sears. The dryer went out last year (year 7) and had more error codes than I knew what to do with. The cost for a technician to come out and just look is approximately $300 and that cost only includes them coming out - nothing is yet fixed. So, I went on the internet and read that the problem I was having was likely a control board. I called Sears to get a new one (approximately $300) and was told (after I specifically asked) if I could return the board if it turned out not to be the problem. I was told that I could. The board they sent me was reconditioned (RECONDITIONED!) and didnt work either. I called Sears to get a return part and was told since it came from their overseas supplier, I could not return it. So, I spent a ridiculous amount of money for a simple dryer that doesnt last and then spent more ridiculous amounts of money trying to fix it only to learn that not only does Sears not stand behind their products, but they also dont stand by their return policy. I bought a new dryer through Home Depot -- a holiday sale and military discount provided me with a new dryer for UNDER $300. Now the washer is gone. No error messages, nothing. Ive learned not to call a technician and not to order replacement parts from Sears. Im simply buying a new washer, which will no doubt be much cheaper than trying to fix the joke that Sears put out. I highly recommend buying from another company (Sears cannot be trusted with the parts, service, or guarantees). They suckered me but good.

I like the way it gets my clothes clean. It is very efficient and does not use a whole lot of water when washing. If I had to make another purchase for a washer or dryer I know that I would choose the same one as I have. I have had my current washer and dryer for about two months and so far I must say that I am very happy. I would recommend this product to my friends and family and the cost is still reasonable. The whole set that I have is white. The washer is loaded from the top and so is the dryer. I love the way that the combination works out with the color of my home. I did a little shopping around and a few different stores before I made a final decision on the set that I have now. I found it for various prices in each store but I ended up paying about six hundred for the whole set.

Kenmore Elite HE 4 - Since 2004 I bought the pair. It cost a lot over 2000 but worth every penny. I put a long term warranty on it. Worth every penny. My first front loader in over 20 years and I cant say enough about it. I have it serviced every year to be sure it is running right. I love this machine. I had the matching dryer but it was gas and when I sold my home I moved into an all electric apt. Would love to find that dryer. I had the stand for it. I carry a long term warranty on it. A great machine.

It did not require as much maintenance as some other brands Ive owned with the amount of use I put a dryer through. Also it seemed to dry clothes with less lint. I put dryers as well as washers through a lot of use. Typically doing a few loads of laundry per day. I was always able to rely on the dryer working without fail. While this has not been the prettiest appliance Ive ever owned it did the job. Besides appearance is one of the lesser requirements when Im searching for appliances. I felt this dryer was of exceptional quality for the price. I had a front load Maytag before purchasing the Kenmore. I have to say the Kenmore lasted much longer and did equally if not a better job.

My Washer and Dryer worked great with just the right functions, with a big family and busy schedule, needed a great working washer and dryer that was very reliable and great performance. Im a short person and this machines were just the right height for me, so my laundry was always so easy to do. I bought both washer and dryer at a great value, from the appliance store, these machines lasted me a good 8 years with constant use, normal wear and tear. These machines are very durable. I recommend this product to all families.

Has enough settings for all different materials I wash and dry. The wrinkle guard actually works despite my initial disbelief. Comes with a good warranty in case it ever breaks down or needs repairs or replacement. The container part is big enough for most loads, but may not dry properly if it is overloaded. Front loading door does make things a bit awkward. It looks like a dryer. It fits in the space where you would expect a dryer to go. The white color is typical for a dryer. Its mostly a no frills dryer, so probably is overpriced for what it can do. The wrinkle guard is nice but is not worth the extra charge.

I purchased this $2300 refrigerator in 2011. It has had one repair already and is scheduled for another repair this month. During this repair, the man stated the dryer unit failed. He repaired that and then stated that the computer board may need to be replaced as well; he did not do that, as it reset. Well, that was wrong as the freezer continued to not be as cold as it should. We go out of town for 2 weeks and the entire unit lost its cooling power. Get this... The temperature rose to 80 in the inner cabinet as well as the freezer so I had to remove all food and try to clean out the smell.When I called for service, I was told the earliest they could come was 7, yes, 7 days later. Why would they take so long for such a vital part of a household? They are due here in 5 more days as we live with two ice chests and no items that need to be refrigerated. I am not sure what the outcome will be of this visit, but I am seriously considering junking it and buying something else. I can not trust it to work properly. With holidays around the corner, I dont want to lose more food. I am not at all happy with Sears products. I feel that they have just shifted to the cheapest versions possible to maintain the highest profit margins they can. If appliances are so poorly made and require continuous repairs, maybe they should get out of the appliance business.

I feel it works great and I was very satisfied and would buy again. I would recommend anyone to buy washer or dryer that is Kenmore!

Several years ago when we first purchased Kenmore devices they were reliable and the service was great. The past few years the devices have not been as good quality wise or service wise. The last dryer we purchased was just dumped off and not properly installed. We had to go back to the store and complain before the job was done correctly.

Works like a normal dryer that dries clothing that is wet and soggy. Slightly unsightly. Not extremely loud, but certainly noticeable. Very reliable dryer, plenty of space for larger loads of clothes. Worked well for over 10 years without breaking or needing major repairs. Although its obviously not gorgeous, its simple and the design is clean. Easy to access buttons. Extremely large and clunky, takes up a large amount of space. Although I can no longer remember how much it had cost originally, I believe that this dryer is a good value for the price and reliability of the machine.

This thing moans and groans. Washes really slow and takes your laundry hostage for quite some time, set it on hot and cold water comes out???? The dryer has flashing lights that dont mean a thing???? Kenmore has no customer service you can talk to???? Basically INFERIOR JUNK.

I had the washer and dryer for about 10 years. No problems with dryer but I had to have the washer repaired a few times. Overall like the Kenmore brand. Very reliable for the dryer. I have a family of 5 so I used them daily. The washer broke a belt and was very loud at times. I can not remember all the repairs but I had at least 7 calls for repairs over 10 days. I bought the basic model with no frills. The washer and dryer are both white and easy to keep clean. They look very good in my utility room next to each other. I purchased the base model with no special options. I have been very happy with the washer and dryer, and with the price I had to pay for them. I used the washer and dryer daily, and they were dependable.
