We purchased a Kenmore Calypso Washer & Dryer in 2001/2002 at Sears after salesman highly recommended the new washing technique. We purchased an extended warranty on both, thank goodness. The serviceman had to come out several times regarding both machines, most often the washer. The motherboard went out once or twice, clothes smell, some clothing getting caught under wash tub and marks on clothes. Our darks get white streaks, our whites have gotten horribly gray so much I wont even buy light clothing anymore. I do throw in 1/2-1 cup of baking soda with the loads to help with the smell. The dryer will sometimes take 2-4 cycles to get clothes dry. Finally now my washer went out. After reading all these comments I see there was a recall which I knew nothing about. I had actually extended the warranty a 2nd time before it expired. Sears would have known about a recall at that point. I am very disappointed and will not buy a Kenmore or Whirlpool product again.

Kenmore 4.3 cu. ft. Top Load Washer w/ Exclusive Triple Action Impeller - White... I bought this because of the ratings from others. This was my first experience with an HE washer and I was hesitant but since I could not find a reliable/well rated old fashioned washer like I wanted, I took the plunge and I was EXTREMELY glad I did! Kenmore 65132 7.0 cu. ft. Electric Dryer w/ SmartDry Plus Technology White. I bought this because it was the match to the washer. The clothes really come out so much cleaner and although this is not a super capacity washer compared to other models I was able to wash a king size comforter (yippee) however I cannot say the same for the dryer. It did fit in but there was not much room for tumbling so I had to stop and reposition it myself several times to ensure complete drying. Note to self-> in the future dont buy the matched pair especially since there was no cost savings in doing so. Other than that it dries fine. I dont need a lot of bells and whistles so I looked for a basic washer. Good ratings are paramount if I dont have a relatives or friends recommendation; and of course I always want to find it on sale with free delivery. Having repair issues are always a red flag but especially since our set-up is on the second floor I avoided any models w/ reviews that had a mention of leak issues. This is a basic full size washer with a lot of different settings to choose from if needed (Normal; Delicates; Bulky/Bedding; Whites; Heavy Duty; Casual; DeepWash; Express; Soak). The dryer has the usual basic cycles. It has a end of cycle buzzer that can be switched to off if so desired. There is an inside light. The door opens down (instead of to the side) which is nice to catch what is being taken out. The washer/dryer pair ran about $947.00 after discounts.

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.

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.

I have had this dryer for 8 years, we have moved it 3 times and only had a repairman out once and he replaced a belt and cleaned out the lint trap and showed us how to clean out around the vent and the vent hose. He said to take the back off of the dryer once every year or two and take a vacuum and suck out all of the back so it doesnt get clogged up again and overheat the dryer.

No problems at all in 15 years including heating element which is the most common failure. Clothes are dried exceptionally well and lint free for the most part. We have used extensively. Would buy again. I would highly recommend and would replace in kind when needed. Great value considering competition and features actually used. Too many others have features never used and therefore useless for the money. More than adequate for my needs. A good bang for the buck and very reliable. We use several times a week with all clothes.

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.

We purchased top of the line Kenmore washer and dryer, although the wash is good, every new towel that was washed and dried have been ruined, they look like they went thru a war. This set has stainless steel inserts about 2 years old.

I needed to replace my old Kenmore washer and dryer after many successful years of use---did research but not enough, apparently. I have never been so disappointed with a Sears product as with this washer. Unable to soak heavy hobby dirt overnight, I hate the auto lock feature, and the lack of enough water in tub. I have to use the double rinse and extra fill of water every time plus the heavy duty cycle. Powders like soap and oxy need to be dissolved in a tub before you use them or your clothing will come out with white powder patches. Clothes are often not clean because of the lack of water fill. I complained to the clerk at Sears who sold me the washer after just a couple weeks and he was rude and discounted all of my concerns. By the time I went back again after a few weeks, he said the time lapsed and the machine could not be returned. I really wish I had kept my old machine until the motor totally quit. I hate the electronic controls that turn on if you even wash the top or sometimes walk by the machine. I have never been so disappointed in a product as this before. The Sears official site kept telling me there was an error in my submission and booting me off, and I strongly suspect it is because the review was negative. I purchased the matching dryer and it is fine except for dirt that collects on the inside rims of the door with each load... I empty the lint screen but dirt still collects on the door. The washer also takes twice as long as any washer I have ever had, and I am 73 with a history of at least 5 washers in my life. I hope buyers will not make my mistake with the 600 series of Kenmore top loader washer machines. Thank you for reading.

A few years ago we purchased a washer and dryer (front -load) for condo living from Sears. Fortunately, before the warranty had expired (1 year) the dryer stopped working and it was replaced. Not pleased with the situation but it happens. At the time of purchase we opted for warranty on both the items but as time passed the cost of the warranty kept increasing and it was decided that we should discontinue the warranty as it was becoming very costly. Not long after the decision was made the washer stopped working. It was not within our budget to replace these costly items and thus I had no other choice but to use public laundry (not hygienic) - therefore we never purchase Kenmore products again! Given the inconvenience that I and my family have had to go through I feel that I should be compensated for this?!

They are pretty good, not the best but a decent price. They last a while. They are durable and get the job done. Kenmore is simple and easy to use. Kenmore washer and dryers are definitely better than Maytag. They are up to date and have some good features.

Clothes come out very clean, never backs up or becomes uneven. Doesnt use an abundance of electricity or water. Large enough to wash comforters and bedspreads in easily. Can do a couple sets of sheets, whole load of towels. I wash a lot of clothes and usually have an overloaded clothes basket but never have a problem with fitting anything in it. White machines can get dusty very easily, especially with the dryer right next to it but it is very easy to clean inside and out. No rust whatsoever. Didnt have to pay an arm and a leg for a good washing machine. Have had it for quite a while and have never had any issues with it, which is amazing considering how much it gets used (which is daily, if not twice a day).

My daughter gave me her brand new Kenmore Elite Oasis washer and dryer. The appliances were reinstalled by professional tradesman who has installed hundreds of appliances. Right from the beginning the washer did not clean clothes properly. There were clumps of dirt and pints on the clothes, requiring repeated washings. The spin cycle would show unbalanced sign and stop. It did not matter if the clothes were redistributed or some or most taken out, the machine was just hung and it took most of the day to spin one load dry. I had to wring my clothes by hand on many occasions and put it in the dryer half wet. Not long after it was not spinning, it started to make clucking sounds as if someone was changing gears improperly. Then it started to leak. All over the laundry room. I cleaned all connections, replaced the hose screens, had it balanced etc. It would leak a little, but on second wash it leaked all out again. Called Sears and was told I was on my own as they did not honor any defects and warranty was past. This in my opinion is criminal. Selling defective products and doing nothing to fix the problems. Shame on you Sears! Needless to say I wont be fixing this washer, as I have also been told it is futile to do so.

My Kenmore washer and dryer were both very satisfactory products. Used the washer and dryer for 10+ years. The only reason I no longer have the washer and the dryer is because I sold my home and the buyer really wanted both the washer and dryer as part of the sale. The washer was of good size that accommodated large loads of laundry.

I really love the washer and dryer. They are truly high-capacity, which is a great feature for families, and they are very energy-efficient. The control panels are fairly straightforward, so selecting the cycle/features I need is pretty easy for such high-end modern machines. The washer could be easier to clean, however-- the sealing gasket is always dirty and holds little bits of stagnant water unless I am diligent about wiping it clean after every cycle, which is more maintenance that I think a washing machine should really require. The dryer I have no complaints about.

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.

I have a Kenmore Washer and Dryer that I bought together about 3 years ago. The dryer has worked perfectly without any mishaps. The washer on the other hand has leaked and had the pipe burst about 3 times now. The first year it was great and then the second year is when everything went bad. I would recommend getting a Kenmore dryer because its amazing and fast. If you like wet laundry rooms, then buy the washer too.

Dries a full load of clothes in 45 minutes or less. Also has wrinkle guard capability that surpasses any other that I have seen. Plus it bears the Kenmore name which means quality! Have not had a single problem with this dryer. It works consistently every single time no matter what size load is put in it. Would recommend to anyone interested in the older, front load style dryer. I cant say that it is pretty or even attractive but it looks way better than the rusty piece of junk that I had before I purchased this one. It does have a sleek updated design and is comparable to newer models. Good value for the price. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality, reasonably priced appliance of this kind. Again, Kenmore is synonymous with quality and value, even in todays market.

I love my washer and dryer! Kenmore is a very great and dependable brand! The only brand I would trust and use!!! The products are well worth the money I spent on buying them and they are very durable and last a long time! I have currently had my washer and dryer for 3 years and never had a problem out of them. They work the same as they did the day I bought them!!!

It dries my clothes nicely and has the room I need to fit everything I need in it. Quick dry time also and leaves clothes static and wrinkle free. The dryer has been a long lasting appliance and I havent ever had any problems using it. It leaves my clothes dry and wrinkle free without all the static involved also. The dryer is nice and has a great appearance and overall I like to show it off to guests and family when they come over. It has clean fresh appearance. Overall the value is great and well worth what you pay for. I would recommend the product for the money you pay. It performs at a high level and I like that a lot.

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 last washer/dryer set was Maytag. Had it 13 yrs, never a service call. Left it in our house when we sold it. Went & bought new Kenmore set. After reading some of these reviews about Kenmore...always reliable, run forever etc. Thats what I thought. Had Kenmore in past & was happy. Well...times have changed!! Im not a top of the line person...paying for bells & whistles Im not even going to use. This model 25132 is mid-line but doesnt have the big agitator, but 4.3 capacity for BIG loads.1st mth I hated it...noisy, walking all over when it spun. Called them out. Serviceman said nothing wrong with it...was I using proper detergent. HE!! What!!! Detergent makes it vibrate. I think not. Married 50 yrs. Have never had a new washer do this. BTW was using proper detergent. 3 yr mark agitator plate went out...stripped. Replaced that. Im sure all the shaking & vibrating had something to do with that. Now 3 mths later, vibrating sooo BAD hits the walls, turns sideways etc. Called out service again. Drum is bent again, Im sure from all the banging around. Costly repair. So am just going to take repair money & buy new washer. But reading reviews, seems like every brand has some of the same issues. Repairman said Whirlpool has bought Maytag & other brands therefore everything has gone downhill. Really disappointing!!!

The set is very dependable and energy saving. I love the ease of use, the alerts that sound when a load is done, and the ease of loading and unloading the clothes, towels, and linen. It is the one set of washer/dryer that doesnt dance across the floor when I have a heavy load. I am very well pleased with my Kenmore appliances and recommend them to anyone interested in reliable appliances.

Time to replace our 16 yr old washer and dryer. So many bad reviews out there... We felt we had to choose the lesser of the evils because there was no overall good washer/dryer out there! We found a good deal on the Kenmore Elite top load washer model 31512 and the matching dryer model 61512. I expected problems to arise from all the complaints about electronics and washer stopping.... Been using it for 2 months now and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! The errors that did occur were normal occurring errors w/ any washer. Got excited about the extra large tub and I loaded it up! (We are a family of 6!) Of course it didnt clean well. (Had to try it anyways! lol!) The 2 times it shut off was due to imbalance. My old washer would have shut off too. It appears that if you keep opening and shutting the lid while its filling up it will add more water too. Wanted to keep peeking inside and was alarmed at all the water usage! Then I figured out it was every time I opened the door it would add more water. My FAVORITE is the quick wash cycle!! Not only does the larger tub allow me to do more laundry, but I can pick Quick cycle and itll be done in 35 minutes not an hour!! Whoooo Hoooo!! (Of course real dirty stuff I stay on the normal cycle.) The dryer is great. Because the washer spins the heck out of the clothes, the dryer doesnt take as long to dry. Also, lots of complaints about it not cleaning..... I honestly think it may be an overloading issue. You cant stuff it. 3/4 the way up the wall is enough to load it and if you want to add more water, you just push a button. I really do like this so far. Oh....if you are wanting the dryer rack to go inside the dryer for shoes and sweaters I have battled the giant on this for you... They sent me the wrong rack twice and insisted that it was the right one. I had to send photos to the consumer affairs dept and such to prove the rack they were sending was wrong! Come to find out the warehouse was pulling the incorrect rack because the manufacturer was out of the correct one. One size does not fit all! This has been going on over a month to get the correct rack. Make sure you get rack 3751EL1001B. It is NOT symmetrical like the 3750 version. Hope this helps some of you out there and you are pleased with it like I am. :)

It gets the clothes dry in one cycle and it has many settings to fit my various clothes drying needs. Overall it is better than the other dryer I had. It is very reliable. I can set it to dry and then I wont have to keep restarting it. The clothes get dry when I open it up and the timer goes off. It is very sleek and looks like a regular dryer. It is nothing fancy but looks nice and tidy and clean and is not an eyesore. Nothing more to say about that. I would say it was an average price. Not that much more expensive or cheaper than any other dryer that I have seen out there. It was not a major financial setback to buy it.

I have a stackable washer and dryer from Kenmore and just love it. Both the washer and dryer work perfectly every time. I have had no problems in 4 years of owning them. I trust the quality that Kenmore puts into their products. The dials on the machines are very straightforward and not confusing. I am very pleased with the product.

I got a Sears Kenmore model 92702 due to space limits. This model is a space saver in that the dryer is stacked on top of the washer. It has been many years since purchase, so price is not remembered, but I got it because it was the model that fit my needs. One of the most important reason for getting this is space and where it would fit, next is the various different wash and dry options. It has worked very well over the years. I have had it 15+ years. My next unit if and when, I will be looking for the energy efficiency factor, then at what it has to offer in load capacity. This model I got has five wash cycles, three load levels, and three water temps to use. The dryer part has three drying cycles, which is great for my needs.

Works great and is very reliable. Like the performance. I wash everyday and I am very satisfied with the performance of both really great products. I use 3 to 4 times a day and wash blankets and all my curtains. Mine came in several different colors. I picked tan to match my decor and the trim is also optional. Very sleek in design - shines like a penny. I would say it is a value for the money I paid. Will last almost a lifetime. I will not have to replace for several years. Really works like a commercial washer and dryer for home use. It is well worth the price.

I have used a Kenmore washer and dryer for a number of years. My experience with these appliances has been excellent. When I required service of any type the company provided excellent service. These Kenmore products are of very fine quality and easy to use.

I purchased Kenmore Oasis washer in 2007. In 2010, the washer began leaking from bottom. My laundry floor never got wet in front of the washer, so I didnt know there was a leak. The washer is on the second story. It was evidently a slow leak. I started smelling a musty smell in my kitchen (directly under the laundry room). Then, I started noticing brown spots on the ceiling in the kitchen. We just had a major snow storm, so I thought the roof had leaked from ice build up. I called the insurance company. They repaired and paid for the damage even though they could not find a roof leak. They cut holes in the ceiling and used huge fans to dry out the ceiling. A few months later, I started noticing a musty smell again and noticed more brown spots in ceiling. I called the insurance company again. This time, we decided to check the bottom of the washer. We found the floor was rotted under the washer. The insurance company had to again do the repair work on the ceiling, dry it out and repair the damaged floor in the laundry room. There was around $9000 damage for the 2 repair jobs that insurance paid for. Sears fixed the washer and found a defective part. The insurance company took the part. They said they were going to file a claim against Sears, because the part was defective and the machine was only three years old. When the repair work was done, I had the repairman put a pan under the washer in case I ever had another leak. Last night, I noticed that the pan is full of water. I called Sears and they said I would have to pay for the service call and all parts. It has just been a year and 3 months since I had the same problem. I explained to the representative that I cant keep paying for repair on the same problem on a washer that is only 4 years old. I asked if there were any recalls. He said he did not know but the repairman might know. This is unacceptable service. I have bought Kenmore products for years and always thought Sears would stand behind their product. I wont buy anything else from Sears. I bought my daughter a washer and dryer from Sears 3 months ago. If I had to do it over, I would have bought it from Lowes.

I started using this machine Oct 23, 2018 (the date we moved into our newly built home). We purchased an entire home full of appliances including the water softener from Sears. The washer worked ok for about 3 mos before I started calling service. Its still under the 1 yr warranty and I purchased the 3 yrs warranty too. At first they help you over the phone, too much deter, not HE, not the right kind of deter, too much fabric softener, cant use fabric softener, clean it with bleach, clean with vinegar, clean with A-Fresh, your water is too hard, its because you have a water softener, etc, etc! So far they have been here 6 times and their computer says, It is functioning fine and therefore there is nothing wrong with the machine. I ask, So I cant EXPECT to have clean clothes from a new wash machine? The store salesperson says, The tech makes the decision. The tech says, The machine is working fine, and refuses to take it apart to show me there is no stagnant, grimy water sitting in the bottom. This machine makes clothes 10x dirtier than before they went into it. Dont bother talking to corporate escalation dept (877-878-3687). They are well trained in giving you the runaround. One tech named Kyle is actually trying to solve this mystery of the lint-like, slimy, powdery, residue that gets onto (and is very difficult to get off) my clothes. I honestly dont recommend this washer or any other appliance that you may have to deal with Sears. Why cant people/businesses stand behind their products anymore? I bought this machine because in 2008 I purchased a Maytag Bravo that I thought was just like this one. I am told that the old motor was well built and that the government puts such high regulations on the HE washer that its not enough water to actually clean the clothes. If companies know this then why on earth are you selling this machine under the expectation that you will get clean clothes!? Id give the machine a negative 10 and the service department 1 out of 5. Id love for a manager or store owner to call me. Ive left messages on answering machines that say, We will call you back by the end of the day, and they NEVER call you back. I purchased mine in Mishawaka IN but the people Ive talked to on the 800 numbers are not from around this area.

Were still using our Kenmore washing machine after having purchased it over 15 years ago and its still washing clothes just fine. The dryer that we bought at the same time just had to be replaced this year. All in all... Kenmore makes dependable appliances that have last decades.

Do not buy this item. We spent a lot of money in the pair washer/dryer and the washer started to rust around the bleach compartment within months (even though I have never used bleach on my clothes). I wished I had read the reviews online. There are hundreds of reviews where people complain about the rusting on this machine. Im planning on talking to a lawyer, and open a Class Action Lawsuit. This machine should be on their list of recall items and people should be compensated. My friend had the upper part replaced but started rusting again within months after use. Sears appliances (Kenmore) are not what they used to be. I am actually closing my credit card I have with them. Very disappointed! Advice: Dont buy this washer, it will RUST!

It cleans really good and dries my clothes fast. Its dependable and reliable and it doesnt break down like what I used to have. The price was reasonable for both dryer and washer combo.

Very satisfy of the perfect washer machine! I will recommend to buy that for everybody! And better to buy with dryer machine in complex. Theyre perfect, fresh and dry.

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.

Gets clothes clean. Very easy to use. If you are not into high tech things and dont like change this is for you. It washes clothes and they are clean and the clothes get dried in the dryer. I have no problem in washing everything that I need to wash in my washer and dryer. I put blankets and quilts in them without any problems. The washer and dryer sit side by side. They are plain and simple without a lot of buttons and added functions, just the way I like. They are easy to wipe down and keep clean. Value of having a washer and dryer are you can wash clothes whenever you like and fold them whenever you get around to it. You dont have to go out to a laundromat and worry about having money. At home as long as you have laundry detergent you can wash.

Dries clothes quickly, can dry large loads, has different settings for various types of fabric, aesthetically pleasing. I bought the washer also. Would highly recommend both appliances. I have had my machine for two years - use it twice a week at minimum - and have never needed to have it repaired. Fits large loads comfortably and dries quickly. We have even used it for heavy blankets and comforters with no problem. Very pretty! Does not look like your typical washer or dryer. My husband jokes that for what it cost him we should display it in the living room and watch it instead of the television. :) The set was a little pricey, but we make that up in lower electricity bills, having enough room to do large loads instead of two medium loads and there have been no repair calls needed.

Kenmore appliances are excellent. Ive had my Kenmore dryer for 15 years and its still running fine. Never had any problems with it. I also had a Kenmore washer that lasted for 12 years and it was running fine when we decided to replace it for a newer model with more features.

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.

So far they have been very good devices. I have had a Kenmore washer and dryer for 2 years and have had no serious issues with them. I would recommend any Kenmore product. You really get a great deal especially when you buy both. I think if you question other brands then you should go for a Kenmore product. They also last a good time. You never have to replace your appliances for a good while.

They broke down altogether and it was hard finding someone to come and fix them and it got too expensive. You would have to run the dryer a few times to get things dry. It was a bad product overall and you never knew if they would work when you needed them.

This dryer dries clothes very fast. When compared to previous dryers I had this one is by far the best. I would recommend this dryer to family and friends. Since this dryer never broke and I have had it for at least 3 years, I can surely say that this washer or dryer is very reliable and durable, as far as I can tell. Appearance is something I take in consideration when choosing an appliance and I say that this washer or dryer looks nice in my apartment. Very modern. Even though this is a very good washer or dryer, the price is not so competitive. It is usually a little more expensive than its competitors but I would still go for it again.

I have had my Kenmore washer for three years now and it has been excellent every day that Ive owned it. My Kenmore washer takes care of anything I need washed. It even holds blankets. I love the clean, white appearance of the washer. Its very neat and fits just right with what I need on a day-to-day basis. Also, the value was amazing and the low price that I got this washer and dryer for is incredible. This washer and dryer have been the best Ive ever owned and I have never had to get it serviced. I wouldnt trade it for any other brand and my next washer will be a Kenmore. I will recommend Kenmore to anyone that I know that is looking for a new washer and dryer. I absolutely love my Kenmore and Im so impressed by it.

My washers performance really amazed me. Best result clean feel. Never thought a washer could do that. Washer had great settings for every load and did what I wanted. My dryer worked and dried quick and easy to use. Never had to run clothes through more than once unlike my old one. The appearance of the washer and dryer are amazing. I loved the glass look as it gave it an extra sophisticated look. Comfort of seeing your clothes become clean. The value for the pair at first I thought was a bit much, but then after using them and becoming familiar with them, I understood why they were priced that much.

I purchased the Kenmore Elite Washing Machine and compatible Dryer, in Sep of 2012. As of this date, Sep 9, 2015, I have been utterly disappointed with its performance as a washing machine, as it does not wash clothes, it get them wet, wrinkles them up, and spins them out. Clothes do not come clean. But, the great news is, today it completely EXPLODED! I mean that it blew up, the top, the whole top, not just the lid and the control panel, but the entire top blew off, the machine blew apart, blowing a holes in the drywall, denting the adjoining dryer, as you will see in my photos. Sears and Kenmore will do nothing about it, stating it is out of warranty. Well... I will not ever set foot in Sears again, and I will never buy another Kenmore product again. See attached photos for the damage. This machine blew itself three feet away from the wall, and as you can see, would have seriously hurt someone if they had been pulling clothes out of the dryer at the moment of destruction.

It was very efficient. It only took once to dry one load. I only had to clean it every two weeks. It was also very energy saving. It was twice as big as the first washer I had. It also saved energy and cut my light bill down. It was very space saving. It only took up half the room my first dryer did. The door was strategically placed so that it didnt take up much room when opened. The dryer itself was $250, reasonable for what you got. The shipping and handling fee was $89, a little high, but worth it. Overall a very good deal.

Have not had a Kenmore washer/dryer for more than 20 years. Kenmore was always dependable, and I liked what I had.

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.

This is one of my favorite dryers that I have ever owned. This dryer dried our clothes fairly fast for the huge loads I would wash. It also was not hard on my bill to boot! I know that for just the few years that I have owned my dryer - it has been a very reliable dryer. No problems so far and I am almost positive that it will continue to be very reliable for many years to come. My dryer isnt the prettiest one on the market today but it isnt the ugliest one either. Mine is a pretty basic one but it looks great to me and runs great. Super value for this dryer. It was exactly what I was looking for and at the right price. I would have to say yes, absorbent perceived value and I would recommend.

I only had one problem with washer. A leaking component in the front middle needed to be replaced after warranty expired. Cost about $135.00. Still works great after 22 years. No problems with the dryer.

Love the new technology of them especially being front load and having different settings and temperature controls and the use of less laundry detergent and the sensor with the dryer to adjust drying times so you dont need to use more power than you need to. Only complaint is how dirty the front load washer gets in the rim by the door. And also that the pedestal are not included in the price as a cheaper option. 249.00 a piece is way too much. But to get the height which is what I needed and why I wanted front load so we dont have to bend over cause as you age that gets impossible.

My experience was absolutely delightful. I liked everything with the Kenmore refrigerator. I never had any regrets or disappointments with it. The person that purchased said they got it at a very reasonable price. Everyone is very pleased. I would definitely purchase this brand refrigerator if the need was to arise. Since receiving the refrigerator as a gift, I have obtained a matching washer and dryer.

I have the same issue as J. of Waukeegan, IL (2/17/15) and I am sure many others that my Kenmore HE washer does not clean clothes. Although I have tried all different detergents (all HE) and all size loads and all settings including deep wash, two rinses, super wash and so on, the laundry comes out with white marks, dry spots (the section of the clothes that are folded do not get wet), and full of lint, fuzz and dog hair. My laundry comes out of the washer dirtier than it goes in. It is truly disgusting. I have contact customer service and sent them pictures and they eventually agreed to send a service representative. But the representative only tested if the washer was going through its cycles properly, he did not test to see how it washed clothes. I showed him the dirty clothes that came out the wash and the only recommendation that was given was to do three loads without detergent and then use only a small amount of detergent for all future washes. We have been only using the small amount of detergent as the representative indicated, however, we followed his instructions of running the three washes without detergent anyway and as we expected, it did not have any affect on the functionality of the washer. I am certain that this model just does not allow enough water to wash the clothes and since it is on a sensor we cannot adjust the amount of water. Before the representative was sent I clearly explained that the washer was working as it was designed, the problem was that it was designed poorly. Yet the representative was sent to only see if the washer was functioning as designed and made no effort to see if it actually washed clothes or to understand the problem (it was not the representatives fault, he was very polite and tried to help, he just wasnt allowed to do anything more). I am so highly disappointed that Sears will not help me but also so disappointed that they can have such a bad product AND they are not interested in understanding its product flaws and improving their product line.

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.

This washer and dryer are very attractive in appearance and very easy to keep clean. It has a lot of knobs and settings but very easy to operate. They have been a god send. Dont remember what I paid for them but whatever I paid it was well worth it. Its the best washing machine I have ever had. It has a large tub for big loads so you can cut water level down for very small loads and the different water levels have helped on utility bills. It also has different wash cycles from very heavy to delicate. I have owned this washer for over twelve years and has never failed to work and have never had a repairman out. Great machine.

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.

I inherited my grandparents Kenmore washer and dryer when they passed away. The washer and dryer must have been well over 10 years old and still alive and kicking! I used them for at least another 5 years or so before I had to replace the dryer. I was so impressed with how long this set of washer and dryer lasted, that I ended up replacing them with newer models of Kenmore. I really liked that they cleaned my clothes well, dried them good and the products lasted so long! If they are good enough for my grandparents, then they are good enough for my family and I.

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!

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.

My Kenmore washer & dryers outlast any other brands known. Always get a complete satisfied wash. Also clothes do not have to be ironed with the Kenmore dryers. I gave my son a washer from my parents that were bought in the 60s. Its still working like a charm. Kenmore products are very durable. I hope Kenmore never goes out of business. I truly rely on this brand for years. I have the gas top loader. Very easy for me to do wash. No bending with having arthritis. Clothes come out clean & stay new looking for years. It is worth every dollar I spend on my Kenmore washer & dryers. The lasting outweighs the reasonable prices. I will never buy any other brand. Im very set on my Kenmore products.

It is an amazing machine. I love how efficient it is. It always works amazing. I recommend this machine to everyone who is looking for an awesome experience with a new set washer and dryer. I love mine and I wouldnt change it. It fits a very large load of clothing and towels. It doesnt take very long to dry at all and it always works amazingly.

I owned an electric top loading Kenmore washing machine and an electric Kenmore dryer for 18 years. In that 18 years, I never experienced any problems with the washing machine. It always worked like a charm and I did laundry for 5 people, including a baby, in that washing machine for 4 of those 18 years. The only problem I ever had with the dryer was the cord had to be replaced after several years of use. There was also one incident where the dryer wasnt drying properly and I called the Kenmore service division to make an appointment for them to come out and repair my dryer. The dispatcher I talked to with Kenmore suggested that I check my dryer vent on the outside of my house to make sure it wasnt stopped up with a birds nest or something else. I checked the dryer vent and it had several dirt dobbers nests in it. When I cleaned out the dryer vent, the dryer went back to working perfectly and, thanks to their employee, I didnt have to pay Kenmore a repair bill. We had to move from the home we were renting into a small apartment that didnt have washer and dryer connections so we donated our 18 year old Kenmore washer and dryer, which were still working perfectly, to a non profit organization.My electric Kenmore washing machine was a top loading washer and the knobs were on the top of the washer behind the lid. The electric dryer had a regular door on the front of it and the knobs were on the top of the dryer towards the back. There was a large lint catcher on the top right hand side of the dryer. The main thing I loved about the Kenmore washer and dryer, as far as their appearance, is that they were made of heavy duty metal vs. plastic. I also liked that the mechanisms of the washer and dryer were simple mechanisms that didnt wear out and cost me hefty repair bills.The electric Kenmore washer and dryer were well worth every penny we paid for them. I used them extensively for 18 years and the only thing I ever had to pay in regards to a repair was a new cord for the dryer after several years of use. Having used them for 18 years, and they were still working perfectly, I would have to say that I definitely got my moneys worth out of them plus some.

I absolutely love it. It works great. I use it a couple of times a day and we havent had any issue with it so far. Some dryers tend to not dry as much when used a lot. Mine is still working great. The Kenmore dryer is also fast and keeps wrinkles out. It makes clothes soft and fluffy. It also doesnt get overheated and make clothes smell burnt. It has plenty of room for the bigger loads. I also loved the price. I couldnt find a better deal. It’s an energy saver, so now I dont have to worry about light bill jumping through the roof. The appearance is very plain and boring though. It needs some color maybe giving the option to choose for a color. That way you can match it up the decor in your home.

It is very old and still works well. I have personally had this dryer for 16 years and it is at least 30 years old on its own. I got it when I moved into my home and have loved it, it is without problems and will probably last longer than I will.

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 am satisfied with how my washer and dryer works. It gets our clothes clean, and we dont need to use as much laundry detergent. Its Energy Star, so it helps save us money. I would recommend these appliance with friends and family.

This is an incredible dryer and the capabilities are endless. If you have the money, you should go to the store and get one of these. Its a good dryer that you could depend on if you have only one. This will completely dry your clothes and you rarely have to worry about it. This dryer is a decent size and fits well into my back room and with the washer on the side, it fits really nicely into the small space. If you have the money, this can give you really good quality drying, but its not totally worth all of the money and cash you should really put into it.

Our Kenmore washer is less than five years old, and weve been having problems with it not agitating and/or spinning. It makes all the sounds like its doing something, but when you open the door, nothing is happening. Its hit or miss, too. Sometimes, Ill open the door after a cycle to put the wash into the dryer, and everything on the bottom is sopping wet. Ive tried adjusting the clothes thinking it didnt spin because its unbalanced, but even empty it wont spin. Then, two hours later, it might decide to spin. When I emailed Sears, I was sent a generic email response to the effect of, Your washer only has a one year warranty, unless you purchased extended warranty... I hope this information has been helpful. You are important to us so we hope that you will continue to make Sears your first choice for future purchases. Never again!

The dryer works well, for the most part. We did have to have it serviced once and it only needed a new dryer belt. It continues to work fine but it does make a squeaky noise. It has enough settings for my needs and I dont have any major complaints with the reliability of this dryer. I like the appearance of this dryer. It looks nice and the control panel isnt overwhelming with too many buttons and knobs to look at. I feel that this dryer was a good price and a good value. I am happy with the value of this dryer and would buy another one in the future.

When I was first married in the early seventies, I bought all my appliances at Sears and they sold Kenmore more than other brands. I purchased a Kenmore washer and dryer and also a Kenmore refrigerator and they lasted for over twenty years. I have since then always favored and trusted the Kenmore brand. I liked that the refrigerator motor ran quietly and that it was frost free and easy to clean. I liked also, the finish on the outer cabinet of the refrigerator because it didnt show fingerprints and smudges. It had great vegetable bins and the shelves were roomy and great for storing tall items on the top shelf. I also liked the door compartment.

It worked about average. My clothes were clean but stains still had to soak or run through a couple times if they came out. Works better with smaller loads and extra rinse. I had it for couple years. Never had to fix anything and when I sold it was still working. I would purchase another Kenmore if needed. The appearance was plain but I didnt dislike it. I do preferred to look at the front loader washer and dryers with different colors but I dont think they work as good. For the price I paid for it it was reliable. It was a good value.

I have an old model but it still work and does the job, it is still up to date modern, performs as it did the day I bought it. When I purchased it the products only came in white. I own washer and dryer top and bottom load and I own or purchased a freezer for the garage. Didnt need anything high fashion. Both product was purchase from Sears, a company that I have trusted for years.

Thanks to Kenmore, I am absolutely in love with my washer and dryer. They have never let me down and I will NEVER use another brand!!! When its time for a new one, Im going with Kenmore. You can bet on it.

The Kenmore washer was highlighted by the store and had a wonderful rebate incentive and reviews on them. Said it was one of the best on the market. The washer and dryer work extremely effective by drying my washables very fast and very dry and by saving power and being energy friendly. It is very durable and has endured a lot of usage by my family and me. It could be a bit more energy friendly and energy-efficient by saving me money on my power bill and saving energy being eco-saver/friendly. The filter system could be a bit stronger as well.

Do not. I repeat do not buy this appliance. I purchased a stackable Kenmore washer and dryer FIVE MONTHS ago from Sears and it has broken down TWICE! I have been without a W&D for nearly a month and all I get from Sears is a shoddy product and poor customer service. And delay, delay, delay. Go to Lowes or the guy on the corner. I am sure you will get a better quality product and customer care.

I have both washer and dryer. They last a long time, very well built. It gets your clothes cleaned and dried fast. I would highly recommend this brand. Very trustworthy. When I need to replace my washer or dryer I will buy from Kenmore.

I have both a washer and dryer made by Kenmore. They were a housewarming gift from my aunt and uncle back in 2003 when we moved into our house, and they are still going strong with no issues ever. I use our washer and dryer a lot, and they have never given me even a minute of trouble. I like it that Kenmore produces products that are built to last. I will continue to purchase Kenmore products in future and I will recommended them to everyone I know. I also like it that my Kenmore washer and dryer are very low maintenance. The only maintenance I ever really do are I clean out the dryer filter regularly and I run the occasional vinegar rinse through the washer to keep it fresh. Other than that, there hasnt been the need for any more maintenance!!! Thank you Kenmore!

It cleans my clothing. It works well. I only needed to have it repaired a couple of times over the years. It sometimes did not drain. Both have had their issues from time to time. Usually inexpensive to have repaired. They have survived three children growing up. Both machines are white and have the look of a traditional washer and dryer. They are in my basement so they dont need to look great. Given to me as a gift from my parents for my new house. I do not know how much they cost but they have lasted over ten years now and I have had minimal problems.

The washer worked well enough. Clothes went in dirty and came out clean. The dryer also worked. Clothes were dried usually in one cycle, unless we put in an especially heavy load.

My washer is 19 years old. I had one repair to the barrel for 180.00 which is not anything to complain about in all that time. I only paid 250.00 for it when I bought it. I had problems with the dryer from the moment it got it. I had to have it repaired 280.00 but since then I had worked perfectly. I only paid 225.00 and I got it with the washer.

I dont remember ever having any problems with the washer or dryer that required a repairman until we had the appliances for several years. The appliances received a lot of use, serving two adults and two children from diapers through gym classes.

The washer and dryer was a very good purchase. The washer washes the clothes great and gets all the stains out that a normal washer couldnt. The dryer dries the clothes three times faster than any other dryer. The washer and dryer is very reliable. I use them every day and I havent had a problem yet. The price might be a little outrageous but you are paying for a really great washer that will last for many years without problems. They are a little bit slimmer than an average washer and dryer and they always look really white and it doesnt rust. I think the value of the washer and dryer is priceless. The washer and dryer are overall satisfying and I would recommend to everyone. Their appearance is great and their working abilities are outstanding.

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.

Love my washer and dryer does the work I need without the noise. Cleans and refreshing. Helps the environment too. I have many products to choose from but I felt these were the best products for my home usage. I can load and load it washes fast. My products are covered by a warranty but I dont think Id ever have to use it. Products have been used in the family for years. Love the fact that it comes in different colors. Goes with my laundry room. My company is amazed when I tell them yes Im washing clothes or drying them because of the looks you can barely tell that its on. Product really gives you your moneys worth. The value is so outstanding that your family would be please to keep it in the family for years to come.

My Kenmore washer and dryer have been great. Theyre about 18 years old and electronic controls and I havent had a lick of trouble with them. I grew up with Maytag and they were every dependable but also every costly. So go with Kenmore and get the dependability you want without the higher cost.

I love my washer and dryer. Ive had them for a while now and they run like brand new! They clean nicely with the washer cleaner. You can buy at Walmart and Ive never had a problem with them smelling like my old washer. I would recommend to anyone looking to buy one. Its a great deal.

I always used a liquid detergent. I never used powders. I always kept the dryer vents cleaned out to prevent fires and to help the dryer be more efficient. Both my washer and dryer lasted more than 15 years. I think the secret is to use liquid detergents and to keep the dryer vent clean especially to the outside. Neither of my appliances had to have any service other than what I just described. Even though I purchased the cheaper or plain models I found that they were easy to keep clean and that their finish held up very well over the fifteen plus years I used them. For the monies I invested and the usage I received for my fifteen years of usage I think I came out very well and not having to spend monies for service or repairs especially speaks to the quality of both machines.

Those machines took a lot of use and never stop working. We were a family of 5 and so they were used at least 10 times a week. If not for the reliability I dont know how we would have gotten along. The benefits of those machines were greatly appreciated with the usage that my family put on them. I would recommend them to others and if I were living in a house I would get another Kenmore washer and dryer. I didnt care for the square shape or the hideous color, but considering that back in the 70s those were the fashion shades of choice. At that time the prices were very reasonable, today they would be considered as low priced.

I purchased a kenmore elite washer and dryer approximately 15 months ago, with a 1 year warranty. And immediately this LE sign came up on the washer. I figured that it was way more technologically ahead than my prior machine so I figured I wasnt using right. The past 15 months my wife has had to run the clothes through the machine twice. Because they would wash then the machine would shut down right before the machine would start its final spin, the clothes would be loaded with water and require a 20 minute run to complete the process. I now had to find out the hard way that there was a serious issue with it and paid 400 dollars for an extra year warranty. On top of all this, Sears continues to take their sweet time and changing the service date.My prior machines lasted me 12 years. This washing machine was personally my worst investment. And the biggest waste of money, time and patience. And I will never purchase nor recommend kenmore to anyone!

I had a Kenmore washer and dryer over 20 years ago. They turned out to be very good appliances. They were dependable and lasted for many years. I changed to Whirlpool after Sears outsourced their appliance to another company.

Very reliable with amazing performance. Impressive style and performance. Clothes get dry faster and retain their original softness. Always dependable getting the job done, even when its a big load of towels getting dry on the first time Ive seen! Towels and they are free to go. With a sleek and sophisticated appearance, there are no worries if someone would happen to see the laundry room. Nice color choice will go with any color scheme. Great performance at any price, but at what this dryer is priced is a steal. Although even double the price would still be worth it for the beginning of summer has started.

It was the first washer I bought and used it for many years. In the market to buy another one. Great product. Bought a different brand that didnt hold up as well. Definitely prefer the Kenmore brand to the last washer I had. My Kenmore dryer is very old but it still works. May have to get a set.

The Kenmore washer and dryer were well made and did not give me any problems. I kept both machines until I was looking for a larger capacity washer and dryer, but up until that point both machines worked very well.

The hubless model ties anything long (pants, shorts, sheets) into knots. Bought it for the price and water efficiency, but regret the hubless. De-wrinkling the tangled mess is a must by dryer or line dry plus iron.

I have had Kenmore devices for a few years now. Kenmore appliances have always been simple to use! Never had a problem with having to repair my Kenmore washer and dryer. Clothes always came out exceptional! Overall great company who makes great products.

My washer and dryer is Kenmore brands. Model is 20222 and 60222. They are very old and still work for me. Since have them it never made problem to me. I wanted to get a new model Kenmore. I love this brand and would recommend it to my friends. It is very good value for me to have Kenmore. This brand is reputation for long time and good quality, durable.

Ive always owned Kenmore but this is my best washer thus far. The clothes come out so clean. My favorite is the sanitize cycle. Great when you have animals and kids. Holds a lot more than I realized. It really gets clothes clean and fresh every time. Dog wet on my bedspread. Was so upset was going to just throw it away. Decided to wash. Couldnt believe one, no smell but spin cycle dried so good. Was safe on low in dryer for less than 20 min. Love display front. Modern with the option to lock the door or stop to throw in something I forgot. Easy to clean with a quick wipe down. The front load detergent tray is easy to use and take out. Wasnt sure at first on cost compared to other washers. Was afraid to spend that much. Thought I needed bigger capacity. So glad I bought. Perfect for the price. Huge clean loads.

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!

This is an easy to use dryer. It is easy to figure out the controls and it runs very smoothly. I would recommend this dryer to someone who is looking to buy one. The dryer fits quite a bit of laundry. It definitely fits more than the previous dryer I owned. I can easily dry all my clothes in two dry cycles, sometimes one. The appearance of this dryer is very nice. It is not too bulky and it fits in well with the washer I own. I think this dryer is a great value for the money. For the price I paid, I am very happy with it.
