Bought this washer new and it lasted 23 months! Control board stopped working. Repair estimate more than original cost of machine. Very disappointed.

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

We have not had any problems with our Kenmore Washer. It cleans very well, can do heavy loads or small delicate, you can adjust water levels and hot or cold water. Weve had it for 6 years and we think that shows that it wears over the long time. We would recommend it highly.

Ive had my Kenmore washing and drying machine for more than 9 years and has worked wonders. Washes and dries my clothes very well. Leaves a clean scent. Nothing has broken down yet. Makes no noise, quite silent when in use. Very content with both.

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

We purchased the Kenmore water/energy efficient washer and we wash on either room temperature or warm water. Laundry most of the time come out not as expected with unclean chocolate stains as an example. Also, we were told by Kenmore that we have to run the express cycle (Very hot water) with vinegar in the detergent pocket to remove residual detergent and to improve the washer ability to clean even normal day to day stains. We are not happy with our purchase. Another aspect that made us unhappy is the annual PM included in a 5 year warranty (paid extra) that often the subcontractor is sending washer-untrained technicians to perform the PM.

You have to babysit this machine. It is frequently out of balance! It took me 4 hrs to do 2 loads of wash. The volume of clothes it handles is great, but it does not seem to clean well. Likely, the big problem is too many bells and whistles. Give me a big machine with simple electronics, or better yet how about the old agitators which may not have held as much, but cleaned the clothes and had hardly any problems.

Without a doubt the worst washer I have ever owned. Thankfully I purchased a protection agreement. Within the last 15 months I have had 5 major repairs. They have now rebuilt the entire machine except for the exterior body. The repairs consisted of the following: Spin Sensor replaced. April 2015. Timing mechanism replaced March 2016. New transmission May 2016. New Basket/Drum May 2016. New Motor Aug 2016.I am now arguing with Sears about replacing the machine but because I have not have 4 major repairs within a 12 month time window I do not qualify. The reason I dont have 4 within 12 months is because they combined the transmission and basket repair into 1 ticket so TECHNICALLY I do not qualify. No worries though, at this rate I am sure to need another repair within the next few months... The technician actually told me this was the worst washer Sears has ever made and they get more calls on this washer than any other. HORRIBLE MACHINE!!!

Good quality, clean, efficient, hardworking product. Time tested and approved. Ive gotten many, many loads of laundry clean and fresh with this washer. This washer has been very reliable through many tough dirty jobs. Id recommend it for anyone looking for good, clean quality for great value and price. This washer is typical in looks but the value and quality more than makes up for aesthetics lacking, just buy it and see people... youll get clean value at a great price. You save time on presoaks plus its less expensive than others that seem to have the same value. It lives up to the value and more.

This machine holds large loads, and it drains properly. The knobs are self explanatory, so even one that is not used to taking care of the laundry on a regular basis can understand how to use this machine. It gets clothing clean with proper soap usage. This washing machine works well. It hold large loads of clothing and even will wash one comforter blanket at a time. I never have to worry about whether or not my clothing will get clean. The machine gets the job done. Simple yet efficiently elegant. I got it at a good value. This machine works hard and pretty much earns a bit of unfair abuse but it does the job.

It really gets those tough stains out with detergents. The power of the water is really amazing. It does its job amazing and cant describe how I get excited to do my laundry each week. It can fit a lot of clothes inside the washer and it somehow cleans every single one! It can run for a long time and the job gets done. I use the warm water and it usually works! Its not an ugly washer like the coin laundry ones. This one works like a charm while looking really good. You can see the cycle and the way this just operates is just a work of beauty! The price isnt that bad. The power of this machine will give you satisfying results. The price does match up with what this washer can do because it is a beast at washing clothes and the price says what its worth and its definitely worth the price.

Quality product that performed well. No issues that I can complain about. I washed many clothes and then dried many clothes. I then wore them and looked amazing. People would stop me on the street and beg to hear the secret of my look. I would whisper Kenmore then run away.

Great product that works extremely well and is very quiet. Very energy efficient and allows me to do large loads without any problems. As far as reliability this machine is perfect. It can handle very large loads and is very quiet while running and it can handle all of the abuse of teenagers using it to do their own clothes without supervision. The controls are very high tech looking but very easy to navigate and use. This is an extremely great and affordable value for this machine. It works just as well as the top end machines but you do not have to pay an arm and leg for it.

Its good services that can provide a good work on all clothes no matter how tough the dirt is on clothes. It always work. Best for me to use around the house. I would not choose another one due to the fact it might not work as well as this washer. It can handle any detergent and it would last for a long time. Its best to use when you have a lot of dirty clothes. It would be a whole lot better to use and then you should be able to upgrade to a newer model.

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

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

I have two Kenmore he5t frontloading washers, we are a family of 6. I hate them. My clothes dont come out clean and I have small holes appearing in my clothes. Im wondering if it is not filling with enough water. Not sure where the holes are coming from. I can only find one other person that also notices these small holes in the clothes...

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

The detergent and softener tray is difficult to open almost to the point that it might break. Also, the softener section isnt very clean after use. Seems like it takes a long time to finish per load even when on express selection.

Sometimes it seems like the clothes wash faster than the older washing machines. This washing machine is very reliable. Older washing machines we had in the past would give us problems within a few years. But this one we have almost 3-4 years now and havent had one problem yet. I love the appearance on this because it a newer looking washing machine and doesnt look like the old ones. Sometimes I forget that this is a washing machine. The value was great. We didnt spend too much on it to the point where we had to think twice about getting it. Once we saw the machine and the price our mind was made up.

It works very well and has many different settings I like. The clothes come out perfectly clean and the time is a good enough amount without being too much. Its been very reliable and I have it quite a while now. I love Kenmore products. They can get he job done without being over expensive. The warranty is good also and customer service is the best. Its solid white with only a few knobs so it isnt confusing how to use it. It loads on top and uses more water, but thats the kind I like not one with a tiny bit of water. It is a great value for the unit and I would have thought it to be more considering all it can do. It has several levels for water and different cycles.

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

I’ve had this washer machine for about 3 years. While it washes lightly soiled materials well, I do need to wash heavy soiled laundry multiple times. This machine has begun to accumulate a mildew smell. I have yet to identify the source of the smell. In addition, the trays where you pour your detergent, bleach and fabric softener fill with water after the wash. The only tray you can manually empty the access water is the detergent tray, this I feel everything else gets diluted. Overall it is an ok machine.

Elite High Efficiency Top Loader - We bought our washer less than 2 years ago! It has been extremely noisy the last few months and unbalanced! Yesterday the washer flooded our upstairs and poured through our dining room ceiling! We called Sears and they want $80 just to come out and look at it, meanwhile we have to replace carpet and Sheetrock. How can a company charge so much for a product and not stand by its quality and care about its consumer. A washing machine should last for more than 2 years!! Companies like this need to be held accountable for ripping off the consumer.

Our Kenmore Elite Top Loading HE washer leaks from the bottom after only 13 mo of light use. No hoses or drain issues, washer is regularly cleaned and maintained, only HE detergent in appropriate amounts are used. This happened one month after warranty expired. My previous washer lasted 12 years with no repairs required. Save yourself the hassle and expense of repairs and buy another brand.

The Kenmore washer I had was a hard-working, efficient machine. I had no problems with it at all. I bought it at an estate sale when it was about five years old. It performed perfectly for about ten years. When I sold my house the new owners requested the washing machine be included in the sale as they knew the glowing record of kenmore appliances and wanted a washer they could depend on.

My Kenmore washer is a creamy white color like most washers and it is not super fancy looking but it is nice. Some minor issues and fails but its a good washer and worth the money you pay. We have had to get it fixed at least once since the water was not coming out hardly at all and the calcium deposits had built up as well. And sometimes the clothes do come out a bit soaked still so I guess it just does not spin right sometimes. But other than that it seems to work fine. It still does what it is supposed to and washes clothes fine.

My top load Kenmore Elite Washing machine is 4 years old and has been rusting for the last 2 years. I finally decided to check into replacing the top and I found out it will cost over $350. This is absolutely ridiculous!! In 40 years I have NEVER had a washing machine rust! I will never buy a Kenmore product again!

We have never had a single problem with our set of Kenmores. We did not buy the top of the line more of the bottom line, no bells and whistle. The settings are easy to read and turn knobs too, Im blind/low vision and markings are bold enough for me to see. Baskets are more than big enough to handle all of our washing loads. No extra settings to cluster the facial plates with settings we will never use. Bleach trough in the right place and easy to pour into, big enough to hold recommended amount, softener container in the middle easy to get to, softener lid can be a little hard to get off if you cut your fingernails too short. Product and price was right, have had for 5 years no service calls, bought a set for daughter.

I have always used Kenmore. Has always been a dependable, quality product with excellent customer service. This specific washer has never given me one single problem. Not to mention great, efficient customer service. Looking to upgrade to a front loader next!! Perfect size, surface has stayed unscathed with our often brutal wash sessions. Nothing too fancy as far as controls but that helps with teens using the washer. Value is excellent. Kenmore has always produced a quality product for a good price. Less is more in this case. Would purchase again.

It fit a lot of clothes. Got everything clean on the first round. Helps fight against stains. Use the quick run cycle and it takes 15 mins to finish a load - great timing in my book for a family thats very busy. A little bulky but not too bad. Had it in a small bathroom in a corner - was not in the way just behind the door.

Performance is excellent but it takes so long to get any kind of wash done and I dont always have the time to wait. Please come with better technology or shorter cycles. This is a great unit and I would tell anyone it is worth the money in terms of performance but that my only drawback is when it takes forever to get anything done. I think you really need to find someone who has this, do a load for yourself and see what you think about it. Great unit but time waster. Definitely cleans clothes better than most but I come back to the time factor and I think others might look at it also so we need to think about this.

It cleans my clothes amazingly well. It uses less water too. This washer is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a new washer. My washer is still going strong. No breaks. Ive had no problems with it yet and Im thinking that I will not have any for a long time. I rate this ten out of ten. This washer is beautiful. Sleek in design and wonderful to look at. Wouldnt have it any other way. Perfect and flawless designing. It is definitely worth the price. The price is so cheap compared to what it actually worth. I would pay thrice as much as I did for this washer, 20 times over. Keep it up.

Design idea is great, however material quality needs a major improvement. Therefore a design mod is necessary. Rust at loading site and several repair calls to stop the balance issue with the tub. I like Kenmore products but made the mistake of going with their high end model a few years ago.

Never fails me. No matter how dirty kids clothes are always come out clean. I never have to rewash anything. Sturdy. Will never use another type of washer. This washer is extremely dependable. Have never had any mechanical problems. Does not make a great deal of noise. Clothes always come out clean. Sleek appearance. Very modern looking. Very streamlined and never rusts and I have a damp basement. I have even had friends say what a nice appearance it makes. I love it. This washer was worth every penny I spent. It was very expensive but I am a perfectionist about my clothes and this washer answers every need I have. Has never disappointed me.

I grew up in a family that always used Kenmore appliances so my owning them is just natural. The Kenmore name carries the value. And people I talk to and with feel that Kenmore is a workhorse that makes it a good value. I have kids and animals so laundry is a daily chore. I like that I can wash jeans, towels, blankets and comforters and they come out clean and unharmed. Theres too many times I have used washers that dont always clean consistently but this is one of the best and most reliable. It is very nice looking, too. I have a laundry closet right off my kitchen and it fits in well with my other appliances when the closet doors are open. The dials are sleek looking and very easy to use.

I like the washer. The only complaint is it doesnt let you set the water level, other than that it does the job. Purchased at sears at one of their sales. Huge basket and you can wash bulky blankets and rugs.

My washer came apart in my basement... pictures enclosed. Not sure what happened other than I was washing a King size sheet set. We believe it was at the beginning of the spin/rinse cycle. I heard nothing. Weve had it two years this past July so Im assuming the warranty is finished?

I like it because it is easy to use and the feeling of the clothes after they are cleaned is refreshing. I recommend it because of the reliability of it. The washer is so nice - the design and everything is awesome. I love the clean and sleek look it has. I love getting things that are quality for your money and this is one of the items I would recommend to anyone who is looking for the same thing as I was.

It worked really good, got all our baby clothes clean. Only thing I didnt like is it ate up her socks. It did a really good job of getting stains out and runs very quiet. It was not as energy efficient as I wouldve liked but a great washer. It was very reliable I could wash big loads at a time with no problem. It did eat my daughters socks and one time caused it to malfunction but we had someone fix it. I like that it looks like a heavy duty washer at the laundromat. It looked very nice and well put together. It also had a lot of different wash cycles to choose from on panel.

I have one old standard Kenmore washer that has been working and running w/ no issues. Easy to use. No problems. Had it for about 10 yrs now and still running. I think if it ever stops working I will stick to a standard one and not those new ones.

It runs very well and cleans the clothes the way they should be cleaned. Its quiet and doesnt make a lot of noise while in spin mode. This is a well paid for unit. Its big and wide enough to fit all my clothes in it and do a great job of washing them completely. You cant go wrong with a washer like that. The appearance of my Kenmore washer is something I enjoy looking at and am glad that I bought it also for the good appearance of what it represents. I am enjoying the value of my washer and all it does. I feel I got a great deal when I bought it and would enjoy doing it again if I have to.

The washer uses a sufficient amount of water to get the several loads of laundry cleaned each time. It is quiet and runs accordingly every time. I think it was a good value when I bought it now. I thought it handled every load well and had great capabilities of washing various loads, such as darks, lights, colors, and delicates. The water levels and heat were sufficient and well done. The washer is sleek and professional looking. It is large enough for the normal load but also for heavier loads. I got the washer in a white color with standard metallic sides. The value of the washer was great. I did not pay very much when I first bought it, and thanks to its reliability, it has held up well over the years and has stretched the dollar.

It does not take long to clean what I need to clean. It does not make a lot of noise and is easy to use. I love it. When I bought I was very excited and I most dependently would not buy another washer for a good, good twenty years. It is very, very reliable. I can really count on it to wash every item correctly and in a timely manner every single time I use it. I would never use any brand but this one. It is very, very cute and I love it in my kitchen. It is just so pretty and I really love it. Everyone should buy this washer. It is perfect or anybody house. Washers are really pricey any way so the price I payed was amazing. I even got sweet discount. You really get a lot for your money. You will love it.

Never had a problem and cleans great. Mechanical it is a very well built machine. My clothes cleaner now than when I had a different machine. This machine is so well built. It may be the last one I ever own. We have never even had the slightest glitch. We wash almost everyday. The machine has easy to see and use buttons answer settings. The panel puts everything right at your fingertips. All in all its a real clean look. It has saved us money in both cost of water used, amount of detergent used and electric costs. For my money its a great buy. I would recommend it to anyone.

Was extremely noisy and took too long to wash a load of laundry. Not reliable at all. It just died too quickly and was extremely noisy when running. It looked great, was black with stainless steel finish and just looked fabulous, but it died within three years and took too long to wash one load of laundry, over an hour and a half to wash just one load of laundry. It died completely within 3 years of purchase, which is not near long enough, so it was not worth the money I spent for it.

Where can I sign up for a class action lawsuit. I dont want a $50 gift certificate, I want Kenmore to replace the washing machine (Series 700 washer) with something that works as advertised. Save me some water? How about cleaning my clothing properly??? Ive had this machine for 1 year and 10 months and I am FED UP with this. Kenmore fix your problem or LOSE A CUSTOMER FOREVER!!!

Awesome machine works very well. No issues at all. I would highly recommend this machine. Good quality at an affordable price. And I would buy it again. Really reliable, big load capacity, easy to fill. Very quiet machine also. Its not the fanciest of machines, but aesthetics are fine. Very good machine for the price. Buy it. Few hundred for a machine that will last years. Well worth it. You will be very happy with your shiny new washer.

Simple to use and very convenient. I have a big family and my washer is like my nanny and best friend. I love it! Dont know exactly what Id do without it. My husband likes it too. I have never had a problem with my washer. My clothes are always clean. Its not noisy. It doesnt run my water bill up too high. Its spacious. My washer is white. It is square. It is pretty. It is clean. It looks wonderful in my house. Its stylish. Im so happy I bought it!! The value is outrageous. Its worth more than I paid for it in my personal opinion. I would have paid more. I know people who love my washer and would have paid much more.

9/2012 I purchased the Kenmore Elite top load machine from Sears. Once it was 2 years old, I continuously get the UE error code. It may take 3 tries and 2 hours to rebalance and get the load washed. Additionally, it is beginning to twist clothes tightly and tear seams of towels. I am being told this machine has no service recalls on it. I am responsible for the repairs.I purchased the same machine in 2010, with the EXACT same troubles. After a great amount of research, I discovered these problems were indeed a service recall. It is the exact same machine (only later model) with the exact same troubles! The same machine should not have the same troubles and not be a part of a recall.

For the price, the performance is well worth the cost. Clothing and other wash loads come out extremely clean every single time and is always very consistent as well. Very consistent in how effective it is in washing everything from silks and cottons and jeans to towels and bedding. In all the years we have had it, it has had the power. This is a basic, no-frills washing machine. While it doesnt have all the knick knacks and features of other models, the price is right and the cleaning power and consistency is awesome. Almost feels like an absolute steel when talking about the functionality and power this base model has. Totally worth every penny and feel good spending money on it.

The performance of the washer is really good. You will love how fast and easy it is to use. Probably the first time you will struggle with the bottoms but then you will love it. The reliability of the product makes you want to buy it, because give the consumer the security that is a really good product to acquire. It is really nice. It has an appearance different than the other brands. It is a modern style but can fit any house or apartment so probably you will like it at the first view. There are many washer that you can view on internet or at stores, but if you are looking for something cheap and with a good value for the price, this is the washer you are looking for.

Its been a great machine. My family has used these products for generations. I love the ease of using the washer. I plan on buying my kids the same brand when they get homes of their own.

My clothes come out clean and the stains are removed. Its easy to use and is fairly quiet. The knobs come off on the unit and sometimes I need to use pliers to turn the handle. Im pleased with how reliable it is. It just happened to be a problem with the handles and knobs that fall off. Its not overused as there are only two people in this house. Its very stylish as washers go. Equally distributed buttons and knobby. Its easy to keep clean and is appealing. Its very quiet and seems to make very little movement.The value of a washing machine is the way it cleans the clothing. It seems that this units such as this have a great value because they seem to work very well.

Does large loads, including pillows & comforters. Very quiet machines. Nice variety of colors. Cost of operation & water savings are a plus!! Ive had mine for over 5 years & only had to have a service man out here one time! The machines display a code when theres a problem & you refer to code guidebook/owners manual & follow instructions! Its easy to do & Ive done this one time! These machines can do large heavy loads! Ive done pillows, blankets & comforters! Both of my sons are big guys & I can do 5-7 pairs of pants/jeans in a load! I also do my grandsons baby things on delicate w/ air dry only! These machines are very clean & modern looking! Front loaders (a first for me) & digital led display! At a first glance I think space age & technology are the first things that come to my mind! And they are normal sized! Im very keen on saving money wherever whenever so these machines hit several buttons for me! The lowered water usage means I save on my water bill! The lowered electric usage means I save on my power bill! The ability to select the length of time running also equals savings on electric bill! The reduced amounts of laundry supplies needed to use these machines equals savings on laundry supplies!

I feel like this washer did get my clothes clean. However I wish that I could fit more into the washer to save time. I also felt that this washer used less water than other washers. The washer sometimes got off balance and I had to redistribute the clothes inside, but it was a durable and reliable washer overall. This washer never required maintenance or repairs. This washer is not as modern looking as a front load washer, but I did not feel that the design was an eyesore in my laundry room and the most important thing was that it got the job done. I felt that this washer was affordable and a great deal for the value. Other washer brands in this similar front loading style would have cost me considerably more money.

The machines are reliable and very useful to use. They are dependable and you can expect your clothes to come totally clean... and your machine will not tear down on you. They can keep your clothes as bright and clean as expected.

Its very easy to use, affordable, great quality and gets the job done right. The best washer Ive owned. The Kenmore washer is very reliable. At the rate its going I wouldnt be surprised if it lasts forever. The best brand out there in my opinion. My Kenmore washer isnt one of the newer fancy models but I still love it. Its not hideous. Just not fancy either. The Kenmore washer I have was definitely worth every penny. Id recommend it to any and everyone whos looking to buy a washer. And they last a long time.

My washing machine has been completely reliable and faithful servant for many years. It has performed flawlessly and done its job as intended without fail. I would highly recommend this product. Thats about all I have to say.

My husband and I purchased a Kenmore washer in 2012. This washer has broke down 3 to 4 times. We called Sears. They repaired it the 1st 2 times. They fixed at it. The next time it broke down it flooded our hardwood floor. We called Sears. They transferred us to LG. After a long drawn out progress they finally paid for the damage, and repaired the same problem. We asked if they could replace our washer so no. Meanwhile when they fixed our washer it cause the washer to leak some type of grease on our clothes. When we reported this Sears said it wasnt anything they could do. The bleach ring has rusted. Now the washer has broken again. Sears claim our extended warranty has expired, but for $39.00 a month they can come service the washer and fix the problem up to $500.00. Remember we only had this washer 5 years.

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

Kenmore washers have been in my house since I was a little boy. We would stuff clothes in it as much as we could. It never broke down. However it was chore we all could live with. Even when I went in the military and college I guess I was really because they were always there. Im in the process now of looking for a stack rack model, I hope Kenmore makes them. Now that coronavirus is everywhere you look we dont get out as much. Friends have been suggesting that I could go online and place an order. I tell them I am the kind of person that likes to see and inspect the items I usually purchase. Ordering online I have had my personal dissatisfaction with product that are not as they seem once it gets to your home. The material are not what you see in the picture. Thats why when I buy Kenmore I am confident about its quality and value.

My Kenmore Elite top loading washer does not adequately submerge my clothes, especially comforters in the bulky/bedding setting with water. Nor does it agitate and move the clothes around to wash them. The drum simply goes back-and-forth so the same clothes that were on the top at the beginning of the cycle are still on the top at the end of the cycle. Bulky items never change position at all. Furthermore, I do not use bleach, but the bleach container has eroded and rusted all around it. I am not satisfied with how this washes my clothes.

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

It gives a good drying! It doesnt take really long to finish a load. It is energy efficient and doesnt make noises loudly. Kenmore is a brand to trust. It has a big enough of area to put a huge load in, it doesnt mess up colours, it has a timer to tell you what cycle its on. It has white for the colour, its shiny that you turn the light on you can see it shimmer. It has a huge tub, its the Kenmore brand. Its awesome! I cant remember how much we bought it for. In all honesty it was a good deal for it being a major brand. I recommend getting it because ours last a long time.

I purchased Kenmore Elite washer in 2010 and truly wish I had read these reviews before my purchase. I have always purchased my appliances from Sears and felt that after spending almost $1000, that I had a great washer. Yes, my bleach compartment has rusted and also the machine was leaking. Had to purchase rods. Also, it doesnt wash any better than any less expensive model. Clothes wrinkle as others have commented. Also found out that it is really made by LG and Kenmore just put its name on the product. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS WASHER!

My washer has been running well for 5 plus years. I washed several loads of laundry and it always got my clothes clean. I try to stick with medium sized loads. I can get four pairs of jeans and several shirts in mine. Also, I like the simplicity of it, theres nothing too confusing. You have a simple knob and controls. White is the traditional color. I am very happy with my washer. It definitely is worth what I paid for it. It gets the job done. I would recommend this type of washer to anyone.

Purchased a Kenmore washer from Sears for $399.99 1 year+4 months ago. Service tech. says transmission has gone out. To repair, Sears wants $502.56 + service call of $79; $581.56 to repair a washer they sell new for $399. There are only two of us in this household (me 70 and my wife 68). We dont do a lot of laundry. This machine is a piece of junk. DO NOT buy Kenmore!

This is the worst washer (700 washer) I’ve ever owned. Unless I use deep fill and second rinse for every load half the load comes out dry and unwashed. Also (maybe my mistake) I cannot reach the bottom of the machine without a step stool. For such a deep basin it appears that it fills about 2”. So by using the extended options I see no efficiency or economy needless to say an hour and a half per load!

Its amaze balls - its fast which is great because you cant beat a fast washing/drying system when youre on a hectic schedule like most moms with multiple kids! I am able to wash big comforters that is previously have to use our local laundromat for. I can fit everyones jeans & towel in 1 load and not worry about breaking the machine. Its just so sleek & modern. I love it - versus the old clunky models of the past. Its definitely appealing to the eye & my friends & famous lay comment on it regularly. Well worth the money. I couldnt have gotten a better deal. It does what I need it to & then done. Its worth it - they should have more sales though in the store with pairs.

I want to say, I am a loyal Kenmore/Sears customer. However, this Elite top loader started out great but now is a major headache. First Kenmore product ever that we have had issues with. Whatever you do, do not interrupt the cycle at any time... If you do, you will be sorry. Constant unbalanced loads no matter the size of the load. All kinds of error codes and chimes going off from delayed drain which will stop the cycle entirely to latch lock malfunction, etc. You have to babysit this thing if you want to get your clothes done. Its a Kenmore Elite model number 29002000, which at one point I understand had a recall because the drum will become detached and damage everything in its path. All good things must come to an end, they say. My good run with Kenmore products over decades has now come to an end. BEWARE!

A front load Kenmore that came with the house we recently bought. It is just Ok and not very clear about several issues such as how much liquid soap to put in the dispenser. Several times it appears to leave the clothes too wet and needs additional spins.

Kenmore 41761723510 - This machine is the most unreliable machine I have ever witnessed, locks the clothes in, cant get them out. You can never know what cycle it is in... if any. Clothes stink. Just keep pushing the button and hope something happens? Now agitates for about 10 seconds shuts down... thats all cross fingers. Maybe get lucky. I will never get another Kenmore in my life. My last one was the same basic model, 15 years no problem... What on earth are these making these days and please tell me there is a class action suit on these pieces of garbage.

I did my research before purchasing this set and pretty much is what the other reviews said it was. The tub in the washer is super big. I was able to wash a king size comforter in it with no problem. I had to take the time to read the booklet to find out what the buttons are for but it pretty easy to use. It looks good and was a great value, Im glad I bought this set. We bought this washer after our Maytag broke just 18 months after purchase, and a week behind on laundry I just wanted a washer. I figured this was the better value for the money versus the 3.6-cu ft Whirlpool, after reading the reviews maybe not. I dont mind the noise while going through the cycle as it is very comparable to our Maytag, same with cycle time. It is in a closet on our second floor and with the doors shut it did not bother us across the hall or downstairs underneath it. My complaint is that they say it can fit 3 baskets full of laundry and while that is true the spinning value at 660 was a major design error. The larger or heavy the load the more the clothes lack getting water out at the end, that will require a drain and spin cycle. Smaller loads come out as expected when the wash is complete and dry in average time. We plan to keep the washer as I am not usually a week behind in laundry and needing to do extra large loads, and I was pleased with the smaller load I did do. For people who are looking at this for the size of the wash bin and extra large loads are normal I would not recommend this, but for just us two it works fine. Kenmore, in the Whirlpool family, are durable, reliable and high-quality appliances with a long-standing history of satisfied customers. Easily and economically repaired if theres ever an issue, theyre an excellent value for the money. The Kenmores seem to last forever. If you do have a problem at some point, Sears has a great parts and service department.

I bought the washer about 18 months ago. It quit working. Sears tech said main control board is defective. To me, that is a factory defect yet I had to pay 320 for extended warranty. Ive called many times, Sears just keeps throwing my calls between the reps. Ive not had a washer for a month!

Recently, our Kenmore washing machine stopped functioning. The service tech came and told us it would cost $1000 to replace 2 circuit boards in the machine. We purchased this machine as an upgrade from our previous Kenmore washing machine. We have always been happy with the Kenmore brand, but now we are seriously questioning our decision to be loyal Sears customers. We did not purchase the service plan with this washing machine specifically because we felt the Kenmore brand name was quality enough. After speaking with 5 customer service reps, we got nowhere. Sears is not the company they once were.

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

I bought a new Kenmore washer two months ago and I have never been so aggravated with a washer in all my life. My clothes are not being cleaned and there is never enough water to rinse them. I have to wait 40 minutes for the load to wash them and then re-rinse them on the rinse cycle. I am asking how this can save me time and money? I had a plain Kenmore washer (no bells and whistles) that lasted me 18 years and finally quit. How I would love to have it back. This new washer will never be the washer my old one was. I am planning to contact the dealer and return it. Too bad I did not read all the bad reviews before I purchased this machine. I would like to know why we, the consumers, have to throw away hard-earned money for products that do not work? I will not ever purchase another Kenmore washer.

Kenmore 700 series washing machine top load with glass lid - DO NOT buy this washing machine! It doesnt put enough water in to wash anything. I tried to wash 5 pair of VERY dirty jeans and they still had clumps of mud on them. I washed a load of towels and the towels absorbed all the water that was dispensed, and the Tide Pod was not completely dissolved! Even using deep fill it will dispense only 3 of water into the tub. I can get it to fill 3 times dispensing 3 of water each time if I stand there and hit the deep fill button, open and close the lid and who has time for that. I am having Sears come and replace this piece of junk Friday!

I purchased a Kenmore front loader washing machine on 11 July 2019. The machine broke down on 24 December 2019. I called and they sent a repair tech on 27 December. Parts needed to be ordered. After waiting a few weeks I called to ask what the hold up was? I was told the parts were on back order and should arrive shortly. I called again after waiting another week. Told they didn’t have any idea when the parts would arrive. I called the warranty department and got the run around. Then I was told the part would arrive on 21 January. Nothing. When I called the warranty department on the 22 they told me either the part would arrive on 27 January or I was entitled to a new machine. Nothing.Called on 27 January. They informed me that they would send another technician out on 6 February for a second opinion. Ok. If he agrees my machine needs the part order and it is still on backlog I will get a new machine. This sounds very odd to me. Never heard of a second opinion. This is totally unprofessional and reflects on their company. All I wanted was my machine to work especially since it is one year warranty. They should bring that new machine out when the technician comes on 6 February. I have been without a washer for over 30 days. It will be 40 when the 2nd opinion technician arrives. This is beyond ridiculous.

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

Kenmore Washer Model No. 796.40318900. Shortly after purchasing the very expensive washer it started leaking water. Why, no explanation given from sears. Then we started getting dE which means door error. Since I was busy working we decided to get sears out to repair. I should have done it myself! They send tech out a week later and just used the code given to swap out parts without really troubleshooting the root cause of problem. They replace the door switch for $240.00. Three days later it has the same dE and at this point I am livid at myself and sears. IF its the same part that went bad they would fix it under the 90 warranty on that part, if its something else they would charge me again. Just swapping out parts is not a reliable way to troubleshoot a problem. Thats just the easiest way sears probably trains their techs. This took about 3 weeks to get the second tech out. I just wanted to get another switch installed and I was going to troubleshoot the real problem myself. I guessed you figured out by now, nobody I know that is married can go a month without washing clothes on a regular basis. I will NEVER do business with sears again. I took the wife to Lowes and purchased an LG washer that was very similar that would fit on the stand I purchased with the kenmore. When the second tech finally shows up, I point him to the garage where the Kenmore sat connected to power. He told me he couldnt troubleshoot it not connected to water. I told him sure you can because it gets the same door error and will not start. Now the truth comes out from his mouth. Well the problem is not the door switch, its the software! I said, You mean the controller? He said, Yes, this is a known problem and for a refurbished one it will be $125.00 plus labor and a new one is $225.00 plus labor since its not the original part. So lets get this straight! They knew it was the controller and they scam you into believing it could be other parts to charge you out the ** just to steal your money! Now I paid for a repair that didnt really fix the problem because the controller works randomly and now they want another $350.00 to replace the controller. This will bring the total to ~$600.00 to fix a used Kenmore Washer that cost me $1500.00 brand new. No matter how you look at it, with the new LG Washer and the cost to repair the old one that I may not be able to sell without gilt is now over $2,100.00. By the way, the tech also said that Sears tried to duplicate the technology from LG and failed badly and sells everyone crap at big $$$$$. Also, the water on your floor is caused by a couple things. If there is too many suds build up in the washer it will flush it out the back of the washer and runs down the back side onto the floor. They didnt design it to go out the drain normally. This makes no sense whatsoever! If you do not clean the glass door and rubber around the door frequently, it will leak water out the front also and begin to make your washer smell bad. Straight out of the techs mouth. Way to go Sears! Make everyones life a PAIN. Now that other companies sell tools that are lifetime warrantied, there is no need to buy anything from this company ever again. STAY AWAY FROM SEARS! I hope you read this complaint board before making your next purchase!

After 30 years with previous Kenmore washing machine we decided to purchase a kenmore as a replacement. We did not need something that was real high tech so we went with a basic machine that did what we needed at a very competitive price.

It did exactly what I paid for the washer to do. It was able to wash my clothes in a quick and efficient manner. I have absolutely no complaints to report about this washer. I usually have quite a few loads of laundry, as I help raise a good size family. I used to have to wash loads separately. This washer is able to handle much larger loads easier. The washer looked like a typical washer. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with this product. I did like the clear door, so I didnt have to open the door to check my wash. I did not have to break the bank for this washer at all. I forget exactly how much I paid for this brand, but I do know I already have it paid off.

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

It uses less water. Has a quiet usage. Its not load. Had never knocked. My clothes get clean with less water and less soap. Its not broken down with excessive usages. Ive only used Kenmore appliances. They rarely break down with excessive usage. Every time Ive needed a Kenmore appliance its always been in good working condition. They are always stylish appliances. Modern and up to date looking. Keeps my laundry room looking modern and up to date. I like the buttons much more than I like knobs. You get what you pay for. Reliability and durability. These machines last for years. Washing machines are major appliances and sometimes its not affordable to just go out and buy one.

I have new HE top loader and I hate it! I always bought Kenmore and my last one lasted 25 years!! This does not wash good, I have to do loads twice to get clean, I cant adjust water level or add detergent while the water is running and when I washed my sheets they didnt even get all wet!!! Give me an agitator washer that I can control any day!

Kenmore Elite 4.7 cu ft Top Loader - If I could give it a negative star I would. HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE! I paid over $1000 for this machine and it has not worked properly since I purchased it--less than 3 years ago. I have had the tech come out at least 2x and now this time I keep getting the LE error code. Last Kenmore washer I had worked wonderfully for 13 years. I will NEVER buy another Kenmore AGAIN.

Kenmore Washer 800 is Crap. Ive only had this washer for 5 years, well actually less than 5 years. Three years in, it required a new control module, and now, it needs it again. The module is about 45 dollars and the service call is $90 to have a repairman come out. All three of my Kenmore appliance either have been replaced or repaired numerous times.

Sensors decide amounts of water and lots of settings even for delicate things like comforters. Dryer and washing machine are very quiet. Both are energy efficient.

My wife and I bought both Washer and Dryer on 10/20/11 and the washer had a recall and every scene they came out and did whatever they had to things have been crazy - the washer always gets out of balance. The other day the tub hit the front shell of the washer, it is a piece of scrap that should of went to a scrap yard for junk. The recall was for reprogram control unit.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite HE3 washer and pedestal in 2004 from Sears. I always dried off the area around the rubber seal, did an occasional bleach wash, hot water wash and sometimes added vinegar to keep the moisture down. I always left the door open after use and I used a maximum of 3 tablespoon of HE detergent. In 2007, I sent a letter to the customer service department explaining that mold had formed inside the rubber door seal and nothing seemed to help. I listed all the things I did and said that I was frustrated that I spent $1,000 and in three years, I was having problems. They responded with a long list of what to do for odor problems, all of which I was doing already. Forward 5 more years and the mold seems to be getting worse despite rubbing down the interior rubber seal with Clorox sheets and drying out the area. I am concerned that I am getting sick from the mold smell. I finally went out and bought a top load washer from a reputable manufacturer. Why should we have to pay such a steep price for a design flaw? Why dont the salespeople warn us about the common mold issue? And why is this happening without repercussions to the company? I would like financial compensation for all of this.

Where I pour in the bleach and under the top lip of washing machine is rusting! I run my washer through cleaning cycling but these areas are bad and I feel like it should not be doing this, especially so soon! I would figure they would make it more adaptable for the bleach area! We bought our washer from Sears in Statesboro, GA!

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

This model is my first front loader washing machine. I had heard of many problems with these but have only encountered one - if I dont religiously wipe the door inside and leave it open for a few hours, it develops a nasty sour smell. Otherwise, it does a good job of cleaning my clothes and uses a whole lot less water. I am still evaluating this machine but so far, so good.

My name is Penny ** and I have had mold and bad moldy smell from my Kenmore Washer for many years now. My clothes will smell and the washer tub would smell moldy and stagnated. I never received any type of postal mail is regards to the court action lawsuit nor the settlement action from the class suit against Kenmore & the bad odor from mold in the Kenmore washing machine.Tonight on channel 9 Eyewitness News I just saw the Settlement Action Lawsuit by chance. I went online & filled out the settlement claim online today 9/26/16. I did purchase a Kenmore washer Model: 402 49032010 and Serial No: Y0AG54A2707312M (YOA or Y0A?) in 2006 from Sears store in Gastonia NC and we began to notice a smell a few years later in 2009. I am sending this request because in the initial claim I was only given 3 options of $50 was, 20% rebate, or reimbursement on repairs. I am requesting to ask if we can just ask for a brand new up date front loader Washer instead of any cash, rebates, or % off??? Could I possibly get the name of the attorney that is handling this lawsuit? The odor is sooo bad and the rim gets so much black junk and I have to clorox out the tub so very often. We would just enjoy a brand new washer is that is at all possible? Thank you.

Cleans clothes well and in a short time. Its lasted for some time. I love it. It was a good price and Im glad I purchased it. It has a function for fabric softener and spins great. Although it does not fit my comforter, it fits large loads of clothing and gets them really clean. What a nice-looking washer. Its very clean and white, and shiny. Its modern and fits in my basement. It looks really pretty. I consider this a great purchase and a good value because Ive had it for a while and it works well. It didnt cost much and has a great warranty. It conserves water and uses less detergent.

It may be a little difficult to understand what each button does when you first get it, but its really easy to learn and it is very good at what it does. Were in a family of six and it can still hold all of our lights, darks, jeans, etc. Unless your family is massive, there will definitely be enough space for your clothes. Appearance-wise its a little bland. Personally one with a more chrome-like appearance would look nicer. It was definitely a good price for how good of a washing machine it is. Im not going to say it cant be a little cheaper, but it doesnt bother me quite as much with how well it does overall.

The Kenmore washer gave me great, dependable service for the 8 years I owned it. We were a family with 3 children so it definitely got a good workout thru those years. This brand has been recommended in our extended family for many years. The appliances are very durable and reliable, providing excellent service for a very active family! We have found that Kenmore appliances are also very reasonably priced for the quality and service that they provide.

This washer always stops after wash instead of going through the entire wash, rinse, spin cycle. Most of the clothes arent even wet after the wash part of the cycle, let alone clean. Worst washer EVER!
