Mechanically, the machine works fine. Design wise, the agitator does not do a very good job. As a result, a large load does not get agitated very well. I am often forced to split loads in order to get clothes clean.

I just purchased my Kenmore January 27, 2019. The soak button is odd and does not really do me any good but I had a horrible experience with LG so I am holding out hope for this new washer.

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

I am happy with my Kenmore washer because it cleans large loads of laundry, rinses the clothes well and uses less water. Its a very reliable washer with a large load capacity. Its quiet and rinses the clothes well with less water. I would recommend this washer. Washer is white with a clear lid that lets you see the inside. Shiny finish and will dent easily if not taken care of. Washers are overpriced these days for not lasting as long as they used to, but I am happy with my washer. Not necessarily the price I paid.

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 Series 500 Wash Machine: Bought this machine over a year ago after my old Kenmore wash machine died. In summary: Its A LEMON. Does not put in enough water to cover clothes, no matter what setting I use and I have had nothing but trouble with it. Ive had the repair service come out 3 times now and Sears will still not put in a new sensor even though the express setting doesnt work at all and the lid stays in lock mode from time to time. **I HAVE TO ADD WATER WITH A HOSE RUNNING FROM MY GARAGE SINK TO GET ENOUGH WATER INTO THE MACHINE TO PROPERLY WASH MY CLOTHES**. I figured this out when I first got the machine and my clothes smelled like I had just pulled them out of a dirty hamper after running them through the wash and dry. Advice? Save your money, do your research and buy and better machine.

I was happy with them but I dont think they lasted as long as they should have. Bought new from Sears but bought Maytag. Brand had better reviews and were bigger inside. When you have a family you need the biggest. Also bought front loaders, much better.

It has lasted me longer than any other washing machine. It washes my clothes very clean. I repaired it one time in fifteen years. I also use other things from Kenmore. I have told other family members about my experience with Kenmore.

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.

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.

This brand and model gets the job done. No matter what is put in the washer, it always comes out clean. I never have to worry about clothes coming out dirty! With five people in my house, two being teenagers and one toddler, this washer is very reliable. I never worry about having to fix an issue. Reliability in a washer is a must for any household with teenagers and a toddler. The model washer I own is very basic looking, which in my opinion is the best. Basic does not mean cheap since it still functions as a high end washer. The value that you get when you buy a Kenmore is the best. You actually get your moneys worth and more with any and every model. Kenmores worth every penny.

I really love my washer because it isnt loud and disruptive while I am doing other chores or trying to focus on a specific task. Especially when you have small children napping a few rooms over, this is important. I have had no issues with this washer. It cleans my clothes perfectly and I never have to worry that the laundry wont get done due to malfunctions in this model. Its sleek and shiny, this washer is easy to take care of and needs very little cleaning to make it stay that way. I would definitely recommend. It was better than my last machine and I am so very happy with it.

It does a great job at washing heavy loads. It washes fast and is not too noisy. It also lasts for years. Once you buy a Kenmore you will not need another washer for a long long time. It works very well. It is very heavy duty and built very high quality. It has never broken down. I had it for about 10 years before I needed a new one. It is very clean and modern looking, and easy to use. It has just the right amount of features without being overwhelming and there are no features that are not needed or that I do not use.

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

Clothes are important and need to always look your best. Clean clothes always makes a difference in ones appearance, not look like a slob living out in the street. You can rely on getting clean and dry clothes any time you need them whether to look professional or for everyday appearance, not look homeless out in the street. I have great experience with this product. It always helps me out in a jam when clean clothes are needed the most especially in a emergency. I value the brand name a lot. It helps with my everyday life when a article of clothing needs to be cleaned in a hurry.

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.

We bought the machine about 5 years ago. After the first year, it started giving me error. Went on internet and it said it was door switch problem. Ordered one and put it in, no difference. The next advice was to replace a board. I reset the wires and it worked fine for months. Then started again. So have to reset the wires regularly now. Then it started dumping water on the floor about every 4-5 loads. Am looking for a solution. Im 77 and its hard for me to do repairs now.

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

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

My Kenmore Calypso washing machine has been leaking water and I have been told there was a recall. I had placed my name on the recall but the only thing the technician did was come out and reset the programming, they did not do anything with the Calypso cycle itself. How can I get this issue resolved?

Everything about this experience was the best. Our washing machine went out. We decided to go buy a whole new set at home depot. The staff found what we needed and wanted in less than 10 minutes. He was very knowledgeable and polite. He even got it delivered the next day... And moved old set to the curb. :) This set has lasted for at least five and a half years. I have had no problems. I keep the warranty updated after my last incident... But also because I love this set the best. It fits my family very well. The kids are even starting to learn.This had everything I needed for my needs and laundry room. Every setting had been used many times over. Never have had a garment ruined. Everything is still very easy to understand... Especially with the ever so handy instructions... Lol. The value was simply stellar. I questioned the excitement at first... But the more I researched, I found that I was getting a great deal. Nothing has gone wrong in the five years that we purchased the set.

Kenmore Elite Oasis Washer - We have always bought Sears Kenmore appliances, and purchased the maintenance contract. The repairmen that have been sent out on a lid locking problem have not been able to resolve this issue. This started in August, and the last two appointments have been cancelled the day of the appointment (when my wife called the 800 number to find out what time the repairman would be at our house). Currently the laundry room is stinking, the entire first floor of our home because the water is stagnant and will not drain. The 800 number has made an appointment for our washer to be repaired on December 8th. This is the longest we have ever had to wait the first floor of our home should really smell great by then.

It was a front loading Kenmore washer bought from Sears. It started making a noise on the spin cycle and then something snapped inside and it would not do the final spin at all. No support from sears, no support from kenmore. They would not even bother to return our calls. We had to buy a new machine and throw away the old one. Please stop buying products from these two companies as both their product quality and after sales service are extremely poor. At this rate they will soon be joining other out of business companies of yesterday.

It uses less water than a traditional washer and clothes dont sit in dirty water. It always spins out correctly. It has no agitator which is a plus because agitators eat my bras. Ive never had any problem with it. It does exactly what its supposed to do and never has leftover water in the bottom like my last washer. Its simple and sleek. It does not look like the fancy massive washers you see everywhere. Its easy to use and clearly marked. There are many settings to choose from; normal, delicates, bulky (which is perfect for washing my king size comforter), etc. On the inside of the lid, it showed the water levels for each setting which is helpful. I paid only $400! It was on sale when I bought it online from Sears which always saves me tons of money.

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 have a Kenmore Washer and it is very durable. It cleans my clothes very well. I do at least once a week or sometimes more about 7 or 8 loads of laundry not including we have 5 people in the house so the other two adults use it also. I have had no problem with any kinds of stains on my clothes from the washer. The washer is very easy to use and has codes when it is having an issue. No problems with it yet. I have owned it for a year now. If I ever have to buy another washer Kenmore will be the brand that I will buy.

Yes I would recommend kenmore. It has great space and a great look. It goes great with my other appliances that I have. It has a warranty on it also. I also have kenmore washer also. They last a very long time and are dependable.

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

The washer does well. It has a nice capacity load and is a lot quieter than older models. You just have to make sure the lid is closed securely. I like the washer but had to replace the circuit board after just two years of washing, just hope this isnt a constant issue with it. If it is it might be cheaper to replace the washer. The washer is sleek. It fits well in any space you choose to place it. It really is stylish looking it is really different looking from older washers and others looking at it like it. As I bought the washer new I certainly did not expect to have problems with it after just two years of washing with it. I hope this problem doesnt persist.

Excellent product that gets my clothes the cleanest. Has different settings for temperature and cycles. Its energy saving also so its not too expensive. Always reliable to wash my clothes. Never had any issues with it breaking down. This is the best product Ive ever owned. Ill be definitely buying another in the future. Nice, sleek design that matches my other appliances. Very easy to maintain. I also like how the door in the front opens making it easier to load clothes into. Excellent value for the money spent. It helps save money with the energy saving feature. Im going to recommend this product to my family and friends so they can see how great this product is.

This washer performed very well. At times, the rotation device in the center would come unbound, but it is an easy fix. Overall, it is cost efficient and relatively compact for our living area and Im enjoying it. I have plenty of laundry to do, and this washer can hold it all. It has never need anything but a do it yourself repair. The washer is very good at washing. I dont enjoy cubical shapes as I have an unnatural fear of them (my doctor told me). Other than the shape, the color is good and it can fit into any reasonably colored room. For all of the use I got out of it, I would say it is underpriced. It is really that good.

As mentioned in previous reviews, this washer leaves soapy residue on everything. I use a little bit of he laundry detergent and there is always residue on my dark clothes. There is no center post in this washing machine to stir things up. My sheets always end up knotting up in a ball and the machine wont spin because of the unevenly distributed weight of wet sheets. I dont like doing laundry but it is particularly frustrating to have to wash things over and over to get the residue out. How energy efficient is it if you have to wash things 3 times? It is also frustrating to try to complete my laundry for the day when I have to keep untangling things that have balled up. I would recommend a side loading machine as they are much better at moving things around.

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

I 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.

I bought the Kenmore front loader washer just over three years ago. During the first year, it has nothing but problems with it. I had the warranty so Sears came to my house several times to fix it. They said I was using too much soap. I was not; I was using Wisk HE soap and only using the recommended dosage (usually doing less). They ended up replacing the washer after months of complaining and battling. They made it sound so easy when you buy the warranty that they will back their product 100%. It was a fight to get them to do what they were supposed to. With the new washer, the warranty only transferred to the new washer so it was only covered for the remainder of the warranty.Now this one is having issues and the warranty is up. Sears makes such crappy front loading washing machines and should not be able to sell them. How is it that I have had two different machines in just over three years and they have both failed me?

I have had this washer for over 13 years and it is still working great. My husband changed out one of the belts that only cost maybe $20. Great washer. Like I said I have owned mine for as long as I lived on my own. It is such a good washer I will repair before buy a new one. So far only replaced a belt on it. I hear of new washers stinking from odor. Makes me scared to buy the new HD washers. The washer is loyal and has had no big problems. I do not get why anyone wants a newer one that gets bad odors. These older machines have no worries of odor. It just cleans your clothes. We got ours at a close out sale. We paid $400. We have had this washer for over 15 years. Only one problem... the belt broke. My husband fixed it for $20. Total cost of machine $420 - you cant beat that.

Washes clothes well and is easy to operate. Doesnt go off balance as easily as some of the other washers I have had in the past and is relatively quiet. Washer can fit quite a bit into it. I wash my childrens bed sheets and pillow cases in them without a problem (I do however bring our comforters to a laundromat for the extra large washers.) My washer is a nice bright white color and has a clean elegant but not too fancy look to it. Doesnt have a ton of buttons or options to confuse you with. Its easy to operate, even my children can run the washer which is always a plus! I shopped around for the best value around my local shops. I found this washer, read some online reviews on it. This was within my budget and Im very happy with my choice so far.

Very efficient, didnt use a lot of water or power and was very quiet. It was very simple to use and even did large loads quickly. I was very satisfied with this washer. It was very reliable, it last about 15 years before we had to replace it. It never gave us trouble at all, and we never had to replace any parts on it. It was very nice looking. It was bright white and matched the paint in our utility room. It had smooth corners and looked very modern and appealing. Wouldnt change anything about it. This was a very good, reliable washer for the price. It was on the lower budget price side but it still gave us many years of use for the price.

We bought a Kenmore front load washer in 2012. I was so excited and didnt even consider another brand, as Kenmores last forever, right? Sears has always been a company that has sold quality products and built a large company due to repeat customers. I was baffled re the lock button not releasing after the load was done and also the standing water staying after the rinse cycle periodically. This from day one of purchase off and on. I have given my manual a workout in the past two years trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Because based on being a third generation owner of exclusively Kenmore appliances, a two year old Kenmore washer would never have broken!A few months ago the standing water issue slowly progressed to the point of not spinning at all when the rinse cycle began. Out came the manual, again and again. Of course, the lock button wouldnt release due to the water level, so I drained it numerous times from the hose in the trap door. This takes over an hour and the hose is so short you have to use small containers and hope you can get one to the sink while holding the hose closed with your thumb. Then the nd error started coming on for a couple of loads and then it wouldnt do anything but hum - I cleaned every hose, snaked the drain, etc. I then called the water company who spent a couple of hours checking out the drains for roots while I tried to save the load of mildewed towels from my last load. They got a kick out of my bleach buckets and even the wheelbarrow filled with laundry :(After all options were gone I contacted Sears who sent a service tech out today. I spent $202.00 on a new drain pump with an option of buying a year warranty for almost $400.00!!! It would have been more, but I found a 20% off coupon for service calls online. I cant afford the extended warranty and even if I could, a year isnt worth that much. I am so upset, as I know I bought a lemon and am waiting for what is next. Sears, dont break your cycle of standing behind your products. I strongly feel I should be reimbursed. Please contact me.

I really enjoy my Kenmore appliances. I never have to rewash my clothes and I can count on them to do the job. They have multiple setting that work with my everyday life and I use them all the time.

I feel the performance is great. As with all appliances they can break down but not very often but I still will get this product because its still very good. Its size is good for putting it in the washer pretty much anywhere in the house. I have mine in the basement and it works out well. Appearance is fine. I have no complaints. It gets what it has to do done so I would recommend this to anyone who wants one of these. In fact you can find a lot of models online. Great value for the money and I would recommend this to anyone who wants one of these.

I have had this Kenmore Elite Top Load washer approximately 2 years. The washer cost was on the high side but I thought I deserved a nice washer since I wash a lot of clothes. Immediately I noticed that the clothes didnt appear to get as clean as with other washers Ive used. The washer was constantly getting out of balance. There was a recall and a gentleman came to my house and did something to the washer to prevent the unbalance issue. The washer still gets out of balance constantly and again my clothes are not getting as clean as with my other washers. I wish Id saved my money and bought an older washer with an agitator or possibly side loader. I am very, very, disappointed with my purchase and will NEVER purchase another Kenmore item again.

I have a Kenmore energy star, he washer, it is very efficient, reliable and one of the best washers I have ever owned. This wash machine is very easy to operate, with multiple settings. I am very happy with the extra large capacity size & clothes are always spun well. Also love the fact that it detects size/weight of wash & determines length of wash cycle.

We bought the washer used and have now had it for 3 years. It is very dependable and it dries large loads of laundry, like my king sized bedding sets with no problems at all. It has a few surface scratches from the last owners, but that does not affect its performance at all. Im happy with it and we have definitely gotten our moneys worth out of it. I would not hesitate to buy another one tomorrow if need be and would recommend Kenmore Washers to anyone.

I bought it used and had it for 2 years before it stopped drying my clothes. After about a year and a half it started taking more time to get the clothes dry. A month or so later it was not drying them hardly at all. Up until then it worked pretty good, especially for being 7 to 8 yrs old.

My husband and grandson both work in construction and have very dirty clothes. This machine does not get stains out. I need to always pre-wash and do extra rinse. This is not energy or water saving! I have allergies and use the free & clear types of HE detergent, but still need to do an extra rinse. We also have mildew problems even though I follow the directions for cleaning the machine. I want my old one back!

Kenmore Dishwasher machine does a great job. Comes from a well respected product line that has been around since my grandmother’s time and has never failed to perform its assigned with efficiency. This product line brings back fond recollections of the machines I used as a child. Handles reasonable loads, simple to use, load & clean. Reliable operation without an overabundance of functions that I neither use or need. Handles all the capacity I need in my day to day life with conservative use of water, soap and power. My main concern with any unit is that it easy to load, and handles the washing with as little trouble as possible. Easy to clean, with a spartan appearance that lends itself to my lifestyle and sensibilities. I especially like the clean lines and simple control features without an attempt at being overly stylish or trendy. Simplicity is my driving concern.

Our machine is an older model, but it handles everything I pack it with! When its time to replace it, I will definitely consider the company. My clothing comes out clean, and the songs are straightforward.

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

It has a very large tub that can handle large loads of clothes with no problem. It cleans consistently well and has a number of settings and load sizes. This washer is very reliable and has worked very well for us. It never has given us any problems. We have always bought Kenmore appliances and will continue to do so. The washer has very nice lines and knobs. It has sleek lines is easy to keep clean. A bloke the top control panel which is also very easy to keep clean. We bought this at a Sears sales event and found it to be the best value for this size of washer. We were very happy with the price and size.

I purchase this washer at a Sears store closing sale. Have had it in the box in a climate controlled storage for a little more than a year, never opened, never used. Yesterday we opened it and hooked it up...this thing sounds like a freight train is coming through my house! Kenmore is no help, will send someone out to diagnose the problem, but will have to charge a diagnostic fee because warranty has expired. Buyer beware...do not buy a Kenmore model 110.25132411! Anyone want a washer that has had exactly one load of clothes washed in it? I have one cheap!!

It cleans well, lots of options to ensure delicates are clean, safe, and not destroyed. Wash only takes about 35 minutes, is fast and water efficient. Never had a breakdown, although the front panel came loose and cannot be reattached. And the washer squeaks when it runs, although it is in the basement so we dont notice much. Got it on sale. Got a good deal using a coupon and credit card. It was the deciding factor on which washer to buy. Dont buy at retail price, unless you are Scrooge McDuck rich (but then you can just pay somebody to wash your clothes).

My Kenmore appliance is so great. It is very reliable and Ive never needed to have a repair done on this appliance. Also, this Kenmore washer is very quiet! It is also very roomy and the appliance itself seems very sturdy. I would recommend a Kenmore Washer to anyone who is looking for an appliance. Also, this Kenmore was bought back in the late 90s and it still works perfectly as long as I clean it properly every few months to keep it going.

Ive had my Kenmore for more than 15 years and it still works great! Ive never had any issues with it and I would have highly recommend this washer to my friends and family. I can always count on my Kenmore washer to work for me. It has never let me down. My Kenmore washer has a nice and basic appearance. Its value is top notch!

The performance of this Kenmore washing machine is better than any other washing machine that I have seen in action ever in my entire life of washing laundry. If I were asked to describe the reliability of this washing machine, I would have to say that I highly recommend it for being very convenient and reliable. I would definitely give the appearance of this Kenmore washing machine a grade A because it is very efficient and includes all smart features for an easy wash. I would absolutely say that the overall value of this machine from Kenmore is very good. It includes all of the convenient and easy to use latest technology and features.

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

Kenmore elite 796.4157 - washer. After one week of having the machine I went into the laundry room and almost slipped because of all the water on the floor. Had a repairman come and he said nothing was wrong, just too much suds. I use tide HE - he said that was fine. I used less detergent and the machine still leaked. Another repairman came and replaced the hose. He said use less detergent. I use so little detergent its ridiculous it still leaks and another repairman is coming next week. There is an opening in the back of the machine with a white circle and the machine is made that way to release suds and water. Sometimes I see just water pouring from it. Why would anyone make a machine that comes out of the machine onto the floor. Someone is going to slip and get hurt and then I will sue Sears and my floor is constantly getting water. AGAIN WHY WOULD A MACHINE BE MADE TO GET RID OF SUDS AND WATER ON YOUR FLOOR. I WANT A DIFFERENT MACHINE. I Purchased it in 2013. WHY WHY WHY????? Who makes a machine that makes water come out on a customers machines?

It is a great washer. It holds huge loads and small loads. It washes huge loads. It is really quiet. It is all around a great washing machine. Just make sure to buy the cleaning pods. The Kenmore washing machine is a very reliable washing machine. I have never had a problem with my washing machine to date yet. I have had it for a few years. The Kenmore washing machine is a very nice looking washing machine. The Kenmore washing machine is a very great value washing machine.

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

The washer constantly smells like mildew, even after cleaning the gasket with bleach, and running an empty load with hot water and bleach. I have heard from several other friends that they have the same issue with this washer. My laundry room always smells like mildew, and clothes have to be removed immediately, or they will need to be re-washed.

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

It is a great, long lasting, and dependable machine from Kenmore and I would buy another in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend this product. It is really reliable. I have had no issues at all. I would recommend the product to anyone that needs a washer. It is a great looking appliance and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great washing machine. I look forward to the opportunity to own another one in the near future. It is a great value. It is a great machine for a really low price. I love my Kenmore washer.

We have a 2-year old Kenmore Series 700 Washer. On December 12th the hose on the rear of the machine failed due to corrosion. Our home was flooded. The hose was replaced and failed again in 3 weeks due to corrosion or some chemical reaction. We had our house re-grounded by an electrical company. Two weeks later the same result. We need technical help so that we do not have another $100,000 insurance claim.

I purchased a Kenmore Oasis Elite in May 2006. We have no children at home, just two retired people. Within a year the hinges on the lid had to be replaced. Rust has been developing. Recently, the tub would hit against the frame when spinning. The repairman replaced the computer board, still didnt work. Another visit and he replaced the pump, still didnt work. Company replaced the steal tub (drum), still didnt work. The repairman stated that it probably would not last more than a year because the struts needed replaced. No surprise, one load of wash and the banging of the tub continued. Spoke with a Sears representative today. He stated that many people were very happy with the machine and it has lasted without any problems and I must have gotten a bad machine. I told him that if I got a lemon they should replace it. He said it was no longer under warranty and nothing could be done. Please never buy any Kenmore appliances from Sears.

Sturdy enough to clean and dry my clothes while being gentle enough not to overdo them and ruin my clothes. Does the job with little hassle, easy to run and understand options. Very reliable. My clothes are washed/dried every time. Very dependable. Does an excellent job without fail. I never have to re wash as regularly as with other washers. Its very nice. White, mainstream look that is classic and goes with any home and room decor. Doesnt take up much space, and is very streamline and neat. For a name brand washer I find it a very good value. Kenmore is a name that has been around a long time and is tried and true, trusted. And still a great value compared to other brands.

I signed up for ConsumerAffairs to be able to ventilate my frustration about this washing machine. There is nothing wrong with the mechanics of this machine. It turns the front loading drum, like it should, adds water, removes water, etc. But the program-cycles it offers make the whole washing affair completely idiotic. All the cycles are way too short for good cleaning. (None takes longer than 1/2 hour.) Also, there is no cycle without a final spin option. I come from Europe where eco machines turn slow and long, in order to enable good soaking and cleaning. I have to add programs cycles in order to get anything clean with this machine. Meanwhile I cannot put off the spin session, so I end up using a lot of energy to get my wash done with this machine (while ruining my clothes with the spinning). My husband ordered this machine after thoroughly reading consumers reports. Makes no sense to me.

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

Without an agitator the clothes do not come clean. Dah, I should have thought of that before I bought it, I know an appliance repair guy that his wife even got rid of her agitatorless machine. Thats how bad they are.

Worked ok. Didnt last as long as expected. Washer was a bit rough on clothes so bought a different brand the next time. Hence have become very disappointed in Sears so have avoided their products.

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

The very first couple weeks we bought a kenmore front load washer it flooded out the laundry room many times. Floors, walls and basement was damaged. We have called for a appliance tech, to come and see what was happening. The most times this would happen if I used any other setting except normal wash in the beginning. The tech couldnt see anything wrong. He didnt try putting it on wash while he was here. He didnt seem to have any idea about this product. After a couple of months going through the same thing we requested for a new washer while the warranty was still on it. Sears was months looking into the problem for us and every time we go and see them, they said finally we will be getting a new one. We never did get a new one and now the washer is worst than what it ever was. As of this weekend I am draining the water in a bucket so I can get my clothes out of the washer. Very dissatisfied customer...

I do not have to worry about my clothes coming out clean from my washer. I KNOW they will come clean. Kenmore is the only washer I will ever use. It is very reliable, and makes my life easier. My washer is one of the best assets in my home. The overall appearance of my Kenmore washer is very nice. It has a clean look to it. It always matches with what I have in my laundry room. I like having white appliances because it is easy to clean and goes with the entire house. The value of my Kenmore washer is priceless. I could NOT do without my washer. It saves me time, money and the hassle of having to go to a laundromat.

Sears Kenmore model 110.28002011. Same problem as the recall that occurred on 12/18/2012. Recall number: 13-073. Same violent shaking. This is the exact same circumstances that occurred during the recall as report in recall #13-073. Washer purchased new in Jan 2013. I will never buy another appliance from Sears, not to buy and will tell friends and family and social media. Sears do not stand behind the product that they are selling... I will never buy another Kenmore not because of the problem but because of the lack of support behind the product. With all the complaints they received, neither Sears nor Kenmore stepped up to resolve this issue.

Sears installed new washing machine in August and Sears installer messed up the connection so we had a huge leak (out of plain sight) and lost thousands of gallons of water in California (where we have a drought and are supposed to conserve water). We had over $1000 extra on the water bill and called the specialist from DWP who had discovered this tremendous leak. I called Sears on the 4th of Jan. and they gave me emergency appointments on the 10th while I have a fountain of water gushing out. Sears rep advised not to touch (or fix) it before their technician gets here. Also, they advised me to seek reimbursement from my homeowners insurance (that does not cover damage caused by leaking plumbing) from the home warranty company (Fidelity) that does not want to deal with it either. The actual washing machine (Kenmore Elite) does not function as promised either. It fills out to the top while washing one pair of pants!. On Jan. 7th, I managed to get a Sears technician at my house. He rudely informed me that he couldnt help me as it was a plumbing issue and machine was plumbed in incorrectly (it was delivered, installed and plumbed in by Sears) and I needed to call my plumber. Until then he would not address the washers technical issues. Sears supervisor, Larry, advised me on the phone not to use an outside plumber as the adjuster from Sears, Carly, will contact me and when she sends the inspector, he will evaluate the situation.The time frame for this action is unknown. Meanwhile I am losing 100s of gallons of water in the drought state of CA and 100s of dollars as well. I also cant use the Kenmore Elite machine that costs $900 plus over $1000 in water bill due to incorrect installation by Sears and the bill keeps going up along with wasted water. I need reimbursement for expenses and a new washer properly installed (a simpler cheaper model is okay).Today, Jan. 10th, 2013, I had called the outside plumber to fix the leak as I was losing too much water and the plumber fixed the incorrect installation by Sears and stopped the leak. Sears Technician came to check out the machine, a Kenmore Elite (model #79631512210) that has water settings on Hot, Warm, Eco Warm, Cold, Top Cold. On all of these settings, the water in the machine remains cold, not due to the incorrect connection (it has been corrected by my plumber), but due to the computer board internal setting that regulates how machine would be filled. On Hot setting, it takes about 2 cups of hot water from the Hot hose and follows up with 2-3 gallons of cold water from the Cold hose. As a result, the washing water is cold on the Hot setting! Technician explained to me that in this high efficiency machine, it is normal as it is trying to save my gas-heated water. He said it runs normal and he spent about 5 minutes in my house. The machine could not be normal as it has same cold water temperature on 5 different temperature settings indicated on the panel of this Kenmore machine. I need Sears/Kenmore to change this machine to another one that works as stated on description and instructions. I have no help or response from Sears so far, despite their promise to stand by their promise of quality of product and service.

It was fine, got stains out but I wasnt overly impressed. The unit was also very loud during the spin cycle. The unit seemed to be big enough for weekly washing for my husband and I but I had to break up the loads if my daughters clothes were included. The controls were very easy to read and set, no fancy extra or unneeded options. I liked that it was straightforward and didnt have settings that I would never use, just to appear higher quality. The unit looked fine and did the job it was asked to so I guess it was a good value for the money, although I wouldnt say it was superb quality. You get what you pay for and I was satisfied with the purchase.

I had bought very expensive towels and it took only washing them 4 times and they were shredding and falling apart. Then my washer frequently has uneven loads so often I will get frustrated and just go to the laundromat. I dont understand my parents have the same one and theirs does not do either one of these. Why???

Most of the time it ran just like it should. Once and a while it would jam up or stop working. It was very dependable and got my clothes clean. The one I had lasted many years before I had to replace it. No matter what I put into it, it always did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend this for anyone needing a washer. The store only had it in very few colors. It did not look very attractive but, got it for what it can do not its looks. As long as it did its job well, like always, its appearance does not matter. It was a bit on the expensive side but, it lasted so long that it was worth what we paid for it.

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.

Satisfied. My clothes are clean and well dried after washing it. Less work. It can load heavy duty - the blankets, sheets, pillow cases. This brand is not expensive but really works well.

Purchased new Kenmore Elite Front Loading Washer in November 2013. Very loud and noisy. Cannot watch TV in the next room. When I wash heavy loads like 3 Large towels it stops in the middle of spin I guess unbalanced. I have to restart the spin. Does not make sense. I purchased the largest tub size they had. Top of the line. As far as the noise, when they delivered they never balanced and after reading the directions it says this is critical for the spin cycle and noise. I went and bought a 4 level and balanced the machine per instructions. Helped minimal but too extremely loud. Will never buy another Kenmore. It has leaked water about 4 or 5 times. I walk in the room and water on the floor. I called Sears for service and they advised to read the directions and you have to closely follow the type cloths you wash and the type cycle or it leaks. It you have KIDS DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE. I am an Adult and I caused it to leak water 4 or 5 times in 7 months. If I had known this I would have never purchased this machine. I paid for a 5 year maintenance too so about $2,000 for a new washing machine that leaks water on my floor if I choose the wrong cycle for washing. Brilliant minds at Sears. You cannot make this stuff up!

I bought my Kenmore when my youngest son was born. Hes 12 now, and I just replaced the washer. We have 5 children, so thats a lot of laundry! We only had to have it repaired once in all that time. Many good years of service!

We bought a new Kenmore Elite Top Loading Washer 31522 in July of 2014. We noticed that the machine often generated a UE error and we had to redistribute the clothes. But it got where we could not even wash a load of sheets without having to redistribute the load 3 o 4 times. Sometimes just hit Drain and Spin just to complete the load. Even though Consumer Reports usually discourage buying an extended warranty we did buy one for 3 years. We called for a service rep to repair. On the day he arrived I had used my neighbors one year old Maytag which was very similar to mine and had zero problems with getting my laundry done. He said this would not happen with the Maytag b/c Maytag is made in USA and Kenmore is now made by LG in Korea. The repair man said he has to completely rebuild the machine and cost for labor and parts (8 parts) will be $1500.00. The machine costs $700.00. Why would Sears approve a $15000 repair that could buy 2 new machines? I told him that I have to use a laundromat frequently which gets to be expensive and very inconvenient. He said the parts he would be delivered and he would return in 9 days. Sears called on day 8 to cancel appt and left a number to reschedule. When I called to reschedule they said it was b/c their records indicate that all the parts were not delivered but I told her that UPS did deliver 5 additional boxes. I got an automatic call about an hour later saying I was the first appt for the next day between 10 and 12. No one came or called. I called and was told that it was cancelled and needed to be rescheduled b/c their records again indicated that we did not have the tub. We had to go through each piece we already received to confirm. The 3rd appt was made for a week later. We are still awaiting the delivery of the inner tub assembly from LG and fear that we will have to again reschedule. I called the sales agent who sold us the washer and asked for his assistance in getting a new machine. I was told that the only person who can decide if the machine can be condemned is the repairman. This does not seem right to me. Why would we ask the repairman who can charge for the repair be the one to decide if the machine should be fixed? Especially when repairs will be way more that the price of a new machine. I think we have a lemon. He was supposed to talk with his manager and get back to us but then heard nothing. I called again and he said his boss will contact us. Again heard nothing. I called again and had to leave a msg for the boss. The boss left a VMX saying he could not replace the machine, but have to wait for the repairman. I am very unhappy with the machine and especially with Sears.

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

DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE WASHING MACHINES(Kenmore Elite )! Since the very first day we brought this piece of crap home, it has been nothing but frustrating! Its very rare when the cycle completes without it stopping because it is barely out of balance! I load the clothes as evenly as is humanly possible! Also, the clothes often come out NOT clean and sometimes have soap on them (I do NOT use too much). Prior to purchasing this washer, my husband and I talked to the salesman extensively about this washing machine to ensure that we were buying a decent one--obviously he had no clue. SUPER ANNOYING.Miss my old one, and miss the days of old when washing machines and appliances in general were well made, and made to last! I called the Sears company that sold me this, but they could care less that I am not satisfied in the slighted way! They said I load it wrong. REALLY!? DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND RESEARCH ONLINE. DO NOT GET FEEDBACK FROM THE SALES PEOPLE AT THE STORE!

The washer is very easy to use and is extremely efficient. Compared to my previous washer which I had to wash the load twice, this washer gets it clean the first time. The washer is extremely reliable. It is big enough for large loads and it gets the clothes extremely clean in a reasonable amount of time. The washer has a very clean and modern look. Its not the standard white that most washers are. It has some silver and a black tinted lid. The value for this washer was very competitive compared to similar washers. And the store where I bought it had a rebate which made it even a better value.

This washer is excessively noisy. It makes many different noises and is totally annoying! The washer does not fill up with enough water even when you select Deep Fill. You must put the detergent in before you load your clothes and this completely stained a new shirt. The fill rate is slow. If you need to stop the washer it does not cancel out properly. The cycle takes too long.

It works very well. I can put in large loads with no issues. I wish there was a spot for fabric softener. However, everything works splendidly. We have had this product for 2 years and it has never given us any issue at all. It can wash really dirty items without a leftover smell. It looks like a normal washer. Its great for someone on a small budget that wants a washer that will last a long time. Its also easy to clean. We got this at a very good price and is very affordable and reliable. For something we will be using for years to come with a little one, this was the perfect washer for us.

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.

My Kenmore washer washes large loads as good as it does small and is very dependable. It handles anything you test it with. This washing washing machine has lasted a very long time. It performs as well as washing machines costing much more. The warranty on this machine is fantastic but will probably never be needed. My machine is neat and sleek and fit wherever you want to put it. The controls are easy to read and understand. I love the top loading design. Great for convenience. In comparison to other washing machines of its generation, its value is superb because it is so well built and possibly the last machine you will need to buy.

Kenmore washer model 110 - I purchased this washer on Dec. 11, 2015. Was told this is their most popular washer, can wash a king sized comforter, energy saver. Got it delivered and started using. From the very start it did not clean my husbands jeans and t-shirts. I have always Shouted the stains on his work clothes, washed them in cold water and always came clean, but this washer takes at least 1.5 times as long to wash and they come out just as dirty as they went in!!! I started trying different wash options which only add more time to cycle and still no difference. I called Sears and told them I was dissatisfied with the washer and was told I have had it longer than 30 days, and I wouldnt be able to return. I called service who came to check machine and was told that there was no errors showing. Nothing he can do. I am so mad. Paid a lot of money for a washer that doesnt wash, and I have to send my husband to work with dirty clothes!

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

Fast and efficient. Has a wide variety of cleaning modes each with a high, normal, and light setting - can select the perfect options for what you need to wash. Has never had an issue or broken for any reason. Seems to work as well as it did the day I bought it, I bought it about five years ago. The Kenmore Washer has a very striking appearance. Modern, stylish and with either a black or white finish. It transforms the laundry room into a room you wouldnt mind company seeing. Good value. Was a little bit more expensive than other models, although this Kenmore Washer has more features and options than even a mid tier washer.

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

I purchase this washer about 3-4 years ago and the problem of rust is getting worst. The rust started after 1 year on the lid then it accelerated to inside and now the rust stays on most of the clothes I wash. When we look inside with a flashlight, we see that inside is all rusted and peeling off. I have a baby coming. When I tried to wash the babys clothes the rust stays on the clothes and its hard to take out. I had to rewash them by hand. Im really frustrated since we follow the manual very well to take care of this machine. I cant believe this will happen to a 3-4 years old washer since my mom is currently using a Maytag for over 10 years and it still works fine without rust. I hope to have it repair by Sears as soon as possible.

Clean well, works well - washes fast. Laundry comes out smelling good - great machine, last forever - cant overload it. Thats my favorite part about it. My husband broke our other washer that way thats why we got yours. Like the design, like the shape, like how easy it is to get to the buttons and how easy it is to put the soap in - very easy to use washer, nice washer. Did pay that much a very good deal, great value, got a lot of use for the price. I couldnt have ask for a better price. We do probably 3 loads a day in that machine.

I have a family with three kids. That means a lot of clothes to wash each week. Love the load sizes, helps me get away with doing less loads. Clothes get washed great, then come out smelling fresh and clean. My washer reliability has been good so far. The different cycles mean I dont have to worry about ruining my delicates, yet know I can trust my washer to deep clean all my husbands work pants. Its a simple appearance. Not hard to keep the outside clean. I usually wipe everything down 1-2 times a week, just to keep everything nice and clean. In my opinion this washer has been a good value. This is a trusted company for my family and I do believe you get what you pay for when it comes to major appliances.

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.

It was quiet and took a nice load size. 2 pod Max and cleans well. No leaking and it doesnt rumble when spin cycle is running. You can put items in machine, easy settings, and relax. The hoses didnt break or leak. The machine didnt rust or break down either. I did not need to service it or call for a repair. I only replaced it because I wanted a newer model machine. Not too big where I couldnt fit it in my place. It was easy to move around from one location to another. It is nice-looking and you can watch your clothes if you want to. I dont know about now but it was pretty good for the money when I had it. I got plenty of use out of it, and I can say that I definitely got my moneys worth considering the time.

I have had this Kenmore Elite Oasis washer for 5 years and have never had one load of clothes come out clean. To even get somewhat clean, I have to use the heavy duty setting, plus pre-soak and extra rinse. It seems like there just is not enough water used, and not enough agitation. Sheets and large items roll up into a ball. Everything wrinkles excessively. I would trade this for an old, plain washer with a real agitator without hesitation. I have never really disliked a washer before, but I hate this one.

This washer had a strong agitation cycle and I never needed a repair. Easy to use knobs. Never had to explain how to turn it on. My clothes always came out smelling good and looking fresh. I could wash a decent sized load of dirty clothes in this washer. I never needed a repair and the agitation was strong and reliable. The water flowed freely and the knobs were easy to understand. This washer was a simple washer in looks. Even though I could have gone for something more spacey and futuristic in looks I was very happy with its performance and easy to understand knobs. Looks arent everything. I think in this day and age we spend too much money on things that break down over time. This washer was sturdy and reliable and I never needed a repair so I am satisfied with the amount of money I paid for it.
