Best dryer Ive ever owned. The settings are very user friendly, and a large load of laundry can be dried in less than an hour. No issues with the settings or machine balance. The performance of this particular model is top of the line. Bulky and uneven loads dry quickly and completely without any issues. Model can hold large loads of laundry with no performance issues. This Kenmore dryer model has wonderful symmetry and looks pristine sitting amongst my other laundry appliances. Nice style with a lot of interior room, but doesnt take up a large amount of floor space. This dryers value is the best deal for its size and functionality. With the large amount of capacity for holding laundry, it pays for itself in comparison to purchase price versus an inconvenient laundromat in well under a years time.

The machines are very reliable and works well. We have had this model for a long time and we have had no problems with it. Everything has continued to work. Many clothes can fit into these machines, and all of the clothes get cleaned and stay nice. The machines are reliable and easy to use, and keep the high quality of the clothes intact. The washer and dryer both look sleek, modern, and dont take up too much room. They fit well in our basement, are quiet, and are reliable and useful. We got the washer and dryers for a great deal. For their price, they work unbelievably well and show very minimal signs of wear and tear, but the functionality of them are still perfect and great.

It always seemed to work really well in keeping my clothes feeling and smelling clean. Never had issues with either washer or dryer. Only reason we dont have them anymore is because we finally decided to upgrade to a newer model. Very easy to keep clean as well. I never had an issue with it breaking down or having to fix any parts to it. Always seemed to get the job done when I needed it to and I do an average of at least 7 loads per week so I never once had a problem with either washer or dryer. It was very simple but thats what I most loved about them. Most of the newer washers and dryer have all these different buttons for certain washes and it can get confusing. For the price that I paid for both the washer and dryer I feel the value was amazing. Couldnt have really asked for a better combo for the price and it definitely was worth buying the set together.

Love my Kenmore dryer! Has lasted far beyond my expectations. The Kenmore has been the best dryer out of any dryer I have owned. It has been efficient for larger items, as well as smaller delicates. My Kenmore dryer gets an A+ in reliability. Has several settings making it a great dryer for all of my familys needs, from larger heavy items to smaller delicates, it always gets the job done! The appearance of my Kenmore dryer is great! Sleek and clean looking. Knobs are easy to read & use and enough settings for larger heavier items or smaller delicates, as well. The value of my kenmore dryer has been great! It has outlasted other dryers that have been higher priced. It has been reliable and perfect for our familys needs for the value.

We purchased the Kenmore Elite washer (and dryer) at the Leesburg, FL store location prior to moving from Leesburg to Crossville, TN. in 2006. It was delivered to our TN address (**) from the Cookville, TN. Sears store. Not long after, I wrote a letter to Sears regarding a problem with it becoming (seriously) unbalanced during the wash cycle. I sent pictures of a wash load whereby a single item so completely covered the remaining items that it looked like a giant mushroom. The response - use the correct wash cycle!!! Hello-I was not born yesterday & have been using washing machine for years. It is now 2014, we are back in Florida, same washer & it is worse than ever!!! I literally have to unbalance almost EVERY load, regardless what I am washing.Today it was four very lightweight shirts, two bras & a couple pair of undies...on the delicate/had wash cycle & I had to manually unbalance the load no less than EIGHT times. Please advise if I have ANY recourse. I had no idea this was such a widespread problem. We NEVER received a notice or letter from Sears on the matter (other than telling me how to wash clothes when I did complain!). Thank you.

It is reliable and really cleans the clothes and dries them quickly. I dont have to keep the clothes in the dryer very long because the spin cycle of the washer is so thorough. When I put detergent in the washer, it does not cause over sudsing so my clothes dont feel sticky as if soap was still in them. There are many options for washing and drying and even just fluffing them or keeping them from getting wrinkles. As a result, I dont have to use as much fabric softener as I did with past appliances.

This washer and dryer pair got plenty of use by my two kids, my mother, and myself! Im not sure how long they normally last, but they got a lot of use! They were heavily used, I would say daily for about 12 years. They were very dependable. Actually I could have fixed them, but I wanted a new set. I only used water to wipe them off, but they always maintained a new look. I would suggest this brand to anyone with a large family. They were a good looking pair! It definitely was a good value. I looked around at other brands and I think I got more features on mine than others offered for the same price.

In July of 2016 we purchased a Sears Kenmore Elite front loading washer and dryer set. At the Sears store the salesman told us this was the best selling washer/dryer combos and that they were absolutely flying out of the store. On October 4, 2016 we noticed several of the lights were not working. Because we did not purchase the extended warranty from Sears we were referred to the manufacturer. As of today, December 26, 2016, the washer is still not repaired. We have spent countless hours on the phone looking for satisfaction. A repairman has been to our home three times (wrong parts every time). And are currently waiting on parts for a 4th try at fixing it. Apparently LG manufactures the computer module that is needed. Our most recent phone conversation ended with the comment get over it and buy a new washer. We bought a matching set and do want a different washer and dryer that do not match. We will never buy a Kenmore appliance again. Most people do not know that the components in Kenmores are from a hodgepodge of manufacturers. I would give Kenmore service a zero star rating if I could.

I liked this dryer. The knobs are cool and easy to understand. Theres plenty of space inside for plenty of clothes. The temp is easily adjustable and easy to plug into the wall. This dryer is slick looking, the door opens perfectly from top to bottom and the colour is nicely chosen. And then the lint trap is easy to remove and nice looking too. This dryer worked every time I used it and each setting works very nice. This is very reliable. The heat cycle is awesome. Also, the price is good and it has a good warranty for parts and labor. Ive had it for two years now and it doesnt show any signs of weakness. Im very happy with this product.

It cleaned clothes good and it was consistent. It worked great and I would recommend it. Also, I never had a problem with the dryer and I find it to be very reliable because it performed as advertised and expected. The clothes were always dry in the manner I was hoping and expected. Its appearance is very understated. Nothing fancy. It blends in well and gives you the impressions that it is a strong and quality dryer. I think you get the most bang for your buck with this dryer. You dont want to pay too much or too little. You just want your moneys worth.

My previous Kenmore dryer was twenty years old but had to replace due to cellar being flooded or it would be still working today. My dryer now is six years old and runs like it is brand new. It is very reliable, efficient and trustworthy. It is well-made and strong and sturdy. Has a modern appearance and fits well. Was easy to install and runs quietly. It does the job for my needs, and does a good job at drying the clothes. This dryer was of great value to meet my budget. For the size and price it is the ideal dryer for one or two people in a household. It is a product I would recommend to anyone.

The washer and dryer was durable. It last a long time with no problems. It got my clothes very clean and it never broke down. I would recommend this washer to a friend. I have always been happy because it gave me no problems. It performed great, economic on water use and energy efficient, stable, cleans well. Has different cycles. The appearance was nice and the capacity is very large so you can get laundry done in a timely manner. Its energy efficient. It is a great value whatever price you pay and of high quality.

Kenmore Elite Washing Machine - We received the recall notice, and even though we have experienced no issues with our washing machine since we purchased it several years ago, my husband called to schedule the service because it was a safety recall. The technician came out on February 8th and slowed the speed of the spin cycle on the bulky items selection. The first time I washed clothes after that, I had multiple UE (unbalanced error) and it actually took one cycle 2 hours and 45 minutes before I could finally get the clothes clean and rinsed somewhat, and then spun out and into the dryer. I tried several other cycles, selecting different spin speeds, and never could wash a load without standing around redistributing the clothes in the tub. My husband called again and they sent a different technician on February 18th, who ran diagnostics and said the tests showed nothing was wrong. He advised me on how to wash clothes - two of each item, large loads, etc. - and said there appeared to be nothing wrong after he ran a partial cycle with no clothes in the washer. He instructed me to let it finish and then he closed the ticket. Today, once again, all my weekly loads had UE multiple times during the cycles. My husband called Sears again and it will be two more weeks - now it will be March - before they can send another technician. The lady offered him a discount on a new washing machine if he wanted to replace this one! Needless to say, my advice is dont call and have the reprogramming done if you havent experienced the issues described in the recall notice.

Immediately once I bought it I knew that it would be easy to use. After trying it for my first time I was hooked and it did the trick as it washed all of our clothes extremely easily. So far it seems extremely durable and works like a charm. The only downside is that you still have to remember when to get your clothes out. The appearance is what most people seem to want in a washer/dryer, a good aesthetically pleasing coat of white with some chrome around certain spots. Its definitely worth the price even if others say it isnt. I use it almost every day for all of my kids and my wifes clothes so you know it does the job for the price.

It did an OK job, one of the cheaper models they have. My next buy would be a better dryer, more cycles to use. I would recommend this dryer for someone who doesnt dry big loads. It is a very reliable dryer. Mine lasted for 12 years. I now do less laundry than I did back then. I have lighter loads that require less drying time. There was nothing outstanding about the design. It was white to match my washing machine. For the money it worked really well. There are better dryers and there are worse dryers. Depends on the use of the dryer for what money you want to spend.

Hundreds of people have gone online to complain about oil spots on clothes from Kenmore Elite washers. Their strategy is to deny the problem as their path of damage control. Owners are told its fabric softener, the wrong soap, their water softener, overloading. They know this is bull. They have made a conscious decision to buffalo the public by acting like this is always a surprise at every service call. Hey Sears! Pick up a few offending machines and troubleshoot them until you find the offending part(s). You replace a part at a time until the spots are gone...duh! This absolutely needs to be a class action suit. Dont tell me Sears isnt playing dumb. Anyone can get on the Internet and read hundreds of complaints. And you will see these posts followed up by carefully scripted responses from Sears Service Dept. This is a skillfully choreographed response to stonewall owners of these washers. Even their own service technicians say Sears wont even tell them anything until a recall is announced. Until then, the word is out, Everybody play dumb while we decide what to do. Dont sit home day after day waiting for repairmen to tell you its your detergent, your water softener, your fabric softener. Their own technicians tell me, anonymously, that the overdone technology washes clothes with too little water. Owners are being told to use as little as a tablespoon of HE detergent. Then youre left with too little water + too little detergent = clothes that dont get washed. If you havent gotten the drift of this post yet, Ill spell it out. This is a design and engineering problem. Unless you plan to redesign how your Kenmore Elite washes clothes, you arent going to fix this problem. My washer and dryer combo is going back to Sears. If they refuse, my next step will be an attorney who isnt shy about filing class action suits. It would look a lot better for Sears if theyd stop playing dumb and step up to the plate. If not, well drag Sears up to the plate.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite front load washer and dryer combo (592-493040) from Sears about 5 years ago - cost well over 2500$. A visually beautiful Tango Red plus the matching bases. This was a mistake. As a retired couple the machines have had once a week use. Last week the washer started to smoke after the spin cycle and make loud off balance drum noises. The repair outfit just told me that the washer will cost over 750$ to repair and was made in Korea by another manufacturer for Sears/Kenmore. To get six years out of an expensive high end washer is consumer abuse. More fool me... Sears Canada has closed, the extended warranty no longer honored. It seems we bought a Lada disguised as a Ferrari. Advice: Stay away from Kenmore products! (Irony is my 95 year old mother has a top load Kenmore that has been chugging along reliably for 25+ years). What happened to the legendary reliability of the Kenmore product line?

I owned a Kenmore washer and dryer years ago (at least thirty years ago). They performed beautifully. I dont remember but three occasions that I needed repair service. The third time I called for service it took a week or more to get it fixed. I decided then that when I needed to buy a new appliance it would not be a Kenmore.

It works great. It cleans the clothes well, is big enough for a family and it is the only brand I would own. I have never had a problem with any of them I owned. I have had 6 washer and dryers over the years, bought brand new and they lasted over 10 years. They are very reliable. I would not own anything other than this brand. They are great looking. They are well put together, not too complicated to use. They come in many colors to suit your decor. They are easy to use. They are very cost effective, do not cost a lot like most washer and dryers. I feel they are the best for the price and quality. They last longer than the ones that cost a lot more.

Long lasting dryer that completed dried load in one cycle. Easy to use and minimal upkeep. Would recommend to anyone as a starter dryer. Also owned the corresponding top load washer. Large enough capacity for towels, clothes, etc. Basic white dryer. Nothing too fancy or out of the ordinary. Simplistic. All in all a great value. Low cost and low maintenance, reasonable energy usage.

The dryer works great. The different settings allow for the complete dryness or just throw wrinkled clothes to smooth them out. The wrinkle setting works amazing. It has worked every time. Very reliable.... Always drys clothes in the right amount of time. Any time I had an issue it was easy to fix. I like the appearance. It is sleek and classic. I do wish they had color options though. It would be nice to have options so it could be a modern laundry room. Very worth the money. Its reliable and compares well to other dryers that are slightly above this price. Again it is really worth the money.

The Kenmore Washer washes and the dryer dries. They are white in color and get the job done. They are durable and they perform very well. My parents bought Kenmore and were satisfied with them and I have always bought Kenmore and have been very happy with the performance and how long they last. I have been satisfied.

Always been a fan of this brand washer/dryer combination. My parents and grandparents supported this brand. The load capacity of the washer is substantial, and the dryer holds ample sizes of laundry. Each has a very low repair cycle, and noise level is minimal. As previously stated, reliability and low repair needs is a huge plus for these machines. Drying time is seemingly shorter to achieve maximum results. These products are very smartly designed and look good in any laundry room facility. Various color schema is available and appealing. Easy access and loading qualities are helpful to all using the machines. These machines are a great economic deal. The value certainly matches any reasonable price accorded. We have always found these products comparable if not less expensive than rival brands.

When I purchased this washer, I held it to the utmost standard of washer and dryers and expected it to be extremely proficient. The appearance of the washer wasnt all that to me. Ive had and seen better washers. But I didnt choose this washer because of its appearance and if I have to choose between performance and appearance, Ill choose performance all day. This washing machine was amazing and didnt leave the clothes drenched in water. Washed like its supposed to and was long lasting. Had washer for 8 years but I wouldve liked for it to last me at least 10 years. This washer is a very dependable washer and would not disappoint. It washed like I expected it to wash.

Machine at times sounds horrible. Called repair and they claimed, that is the way it is. The nature of the beast. When it stops, get a new one. Unfortunately, my parents machines were still motoring well over 20 years! I have their gas dryer which is over forty years old! Too bad, I listened to my wife, she bought a new one because of appearance!!!

Kenmore is a brand you can trust. Dries and washes faster than most of the washers and dryers in that category. I am very happy with my washer and dryer choice. Best value for your money for this class of washer and dryer combo. The appearance of my washer and dryer combo looks great in the laundry room. Would highly recommend this combo pack. Thank you.

Kenmore has some amazing products that will not disappoint. I’ve purchased the washer and dryer and they lasted 15 years or more with a minimum repairs. My laundry is clean the first time and my dryer gets the job done. Kenmore is the only purchase I would make for my laundry needs and my kitchen needs... Excellent.

Kenmore Elite Oasis gas dryer - We bought this dryer in 2006. We got it home and hooked up and it would not work. Call Sears had to fight to get them to bring us another one. Within the first years they had to come fix it. Then They say I only bought 2 protection plans on it. I know it was more. It flashes from 40 on normal cycle to F and keeps doing it. Do not buy this dryer. Everything in my house is from Sears. No more Im done with them. They lost a loyal customer. Its model # 110. The flashing F must mean its over heating cause now that it has cooled down its not doing it. But not drying clothes either. Like I said never again buying from Sears. Its buyer beware.

Ive never had any problems with this dryer. It dries close the first time and thoroughly, it is the best dryer that I have ever owned. Its always been very reliable since day 1. It works as well now as it did when I first bought it. It is always running smoothly and topnotch. It is the perfect size for my laundry room. It is nice and sleek, I love the front loading door and the capacity is perfect. No other dyer would work or look as good. It was a little pricey but so worth the money that I paid for it. Its value is amazing and I would now pay double for this amazing dryer.

Had both a washer and a dryer awhile ago. They both worked fine and lasted pretty long. When we had to buy ones we bought different brands because they were less expensive and they work just as good. Weve had a lot of Kenmore products over the years.

It only takes one cycle to dry a load. The dryer is always very easy to load. The fact that the door stays down makes it much easier to use. The dryer is very reliable. The dryer only takes one cycle to get the load of laundry dry. The dryer runs fairly quietly. I would recommend this dryer to anyone who asks. It is white and the right size to fit in my laundry room. It was easy to hook up. This dryer was a very good value for my familys budget. It turned out to be cheaper than we expected. The dryer was on sale at our local Home Depot.

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

I have great experiences with my Kenmore washer and dryer. I am never had any problems with them nor have I needed repairs. There are multiple cycles to choose from as well as any type of laundry detergent or added clothing cleaning products can be used. The dryer has multiple settings as well.

We have been a owner of Kenmore products over the year including the clothes washer and dryer. The earlier machines were never as good as our latest model. For the past ten years, our Kenmore set has been serving us well and hope to get another 10 years or more. The features on our washer is easy to understand and use. Very energy efficient and gentle on the clothes, just wish that Sears Canada had to go out of business.

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

I owned a Kenmore dryer for over ten years, and I never had problems for the first 8 yrs. I would use my dryer for those cold and early mornings before leaving the house, so my coats would be warm.

All the Kenmore appliances that weve owned, especially the refrigerator, have lasted long past the usual life expectancy of appliances. I think we had the refrigerator about 25 years with only 1 or 2 service calls. Our Kenmore clothes dryer is nearing 20 years and still works great!.

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

Kenmore because its reputation is great and is backed by its word and is economical-priced. I like the style of the models and nothing bothered me and Ive had the dryer 13 years and the washer 1 year replaced another brand. If it was a bad deal I wouldnt have bought it and they are known to have great appliances and always works and good and doesnt fall apart. Kenmore works and doesnt let you down, and you can count on them to help you with your appliances and set you up with top of the line products that you can count on.

The washer and dryer functioned properly. They did their jobs completely as expected and lasted for a long time. Very satisfied with the purchase. It is the most reliable washer and dryer I have ever purchased. They function as expected and operate quickly and efficiently. Its all great. The appearance is good. There isnt much that separates most washer and dryers as far as appearance, but it looks really good. No problems with appearance. Not the cheapest product on the market, but very much the best value. Everything about it is perfect, and the cost is just a little higher for a quality product.

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

Gets the laundry done. Parts had to be replaced twice. Takes longer to dry and wash. But it does what it does. Sometimes there are residues. It fits lots of clothes, jeans and towels. But it does leave soap residues sometimes, which kind of sucks. Its very simple and easy to use. All basic functions. Its basically load and select and start. Not very technical compared to others. Not a lot of buttons or knobs. Its worth it. Just like everything else, if you take care of it, it will last and be worth what its valued. It could be lowered since all these new and improved washers and dryers are coming out.

I am very happy with my Kenmore appliances. They are energy efficient and work very well. They arent over priced making them a definite value. The dryer was very good. Their dryer was large enough and had various settings and temperatures to dry a large load in an appropriate amount of time. It also helped keep the clothes from wrinkling. Also, the dryer was very modern looking. Nice dials. Wasnt overly bulky or large. They definitely keep up with the changing times and designs. Never had any issues with it while I owned it. It was definitely a worry free purchase.

Kenmore has always been a top brand when it comes to washer and dryers. Every home that I have had I made sure that Kenmore was installed. They are big enough on the inside and yet still compact to fit in any space.

Dries fine, however it gets a musty odor. I would not suggest this dryer based on that alone. It is impossible to clean it or get the smell out! I am disappointed as I have used Kenmore brands in the past and never had an issue until now. Odor aside, the machine dries well and has not really given me any problems over the years that I have owned it. I have not had to call maintenance. I tend to keep the lint vent clean after every use and I believe that helps.Very sturdy looking machine, visually appealing. The brand comes in many different colors. Mine is white and I have no issues keeping it looking clean. I like the window on the front for seeing the clothes spinning inside the dryer. The value is just ok. It dries well but the odor takes away from the usefulness. Sometimes I think it is better to line dry or not use this machine at all! It is pointless to wash clothes and then have them get smelly in the dryer.

Kenmore is a brand well spoken for. I was able to purchase the washer and dryer. The washer is an exceptional washer of clothes. The machines are easy to clean. If parts have to be replaced easy to find. I love the brand and the name is dependable and reliable. The representatives are knowledgeable and attentive to your needs in what type of appliance will work for you.

My Kenmore dryers performance is efficient and gets the job done quickly and quietly. Its also easy to use and takes the guesswork out of trying to figure out drying times. My Kenmore dryer has plenty of room for all my needs. Its especially useful for washing larger loads of pet linens and bedding, and handles delicate clothing as well. My Kenmore dryers appearance is good. The front load feature is convenient especially when drying blankets as being able to see items helps to know if things are bunching up. My Kenmore dryer is a good value because it is energy efficient and allows me to dry more items together which in turn means being able to do fewer loads.

First off, I realized washers and dryers fall into the same category, which is a mistake. The dryer has been great for the eight years I have owned it, albeit overpriced. The front load washers (He3) are complete junk. I spent years doing light repairs on commercial machines at hotels, so I do all my own repairs. My labor is free so I believe my opinion should hold more weight than average. If I had to pay a repair service, I would have junked this machine long ago. I am about to replace the drum seal for about the 4th or 5th time. In total I have done an major repair about 10 times and of course the mold/mildew smell of the machine, constantly buying expensive cleaners to rid the smell. Listen, the smell comes from the pump. It doesnt fully drain the sump, and the detergents leave a residue... If you ever take the pump off, it smells just like a sewer. My brother bought a Sams---, 5 years, absolutely trouble-free.

Great products. Clothes came out fresh and clean and dryer has wrinkle guard and automatic sensor. Can handle large loads including queen size comforters. Never have had any problems or needed service.

The dryer has had a problem lately, but after over twenty-five years it is expected, although the washer is STILL going strong no matter what I throw at it or many loads of different sizes during the week.

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

Kenmore Series 700 HE washer/dryer - Horrible experience starting from day one - delivery was a nightmare. After using washer for less than 60 days I confirmed that washer doesnt put enough water in tub to get clothes clean - detergent remains undissolved. I tried several different cycle settings - had to use heavy bedding for all loads to get enough water in tub - still doesnt clean sheets or blankets - they are dry at the end of the cycle. The washer doesnt agitate vigorously enough to ever get the clothing or bedding submerged in water. Sears would not consider doing any kind of exchange for a different machine and said there is nothing we can do as it is beyond 30 days. Said to sell it on Craigs list.

This dryer had a large enough drum to hold large loads. Consistently dries clothes very well considering the size of loads. Very simple to use and at a good price. Very good machine. Installs simply. Have had no problems the entire life of the machine. Never had It break down and have any issues. Very reliable. I bought this dryer in a traditional white color, Standard color and thats what I prefer over a color or stainless steel. Looks very up to date, stylish and still be simple. This brand and style of appliance is a very good value. One of the best prices in its category. Others you pay a lot for the brand name. On this you pay for the performance.

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

We bought the Kenmore 600 series washing machine to go with our Kenmore dryer less than 6 months ago. I have resorted to washing things twice with two rinses each and it still does not clean worth a damn. On top of that we are using clear HD detergent and yet our clothes are coming out with white spots on them. Never buy Kenmore again.

I have owned many sets of washers and dryers but this set happens to be the best. I can wash and dry extra large loads like a comforter or 15 pairs of jeans or I can wash very small loads of gentles and not hurt my delicates.

Cleans very good and its the best on the market. Everyone should own this model. Not loud at all and gets job done in a fast manner. Great product. Gets clothing dry very fast and is not loud either. Has wrinkle prevent and air fluff. Also is energy preferred. Dryer also has cool down mode timed dry. Very clean. Looks very expensive but the price is outstanding compared to others. Love the features on this washer and dryer. We have had ours for a year and half and I would not trade for world. The value of the product is amazing compared to others. I would buy another one if I had to. Im sure it will run forever. Built very good. Ive looked it over.

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

This was a great machine. It was simple to use, effective, and had fairly quick cycles. It is still in use with a family member, and still going strong. It did not require any repairs, and was still in great condition to give to someone else when I got a new one. It ran smoothly and efficiently. Theres nothing fancy about the appearance of this machine, but its simple and clean and serves its purpose. It certainly wasnt an eyesore. Kenmore tends to be more expensive than other brands. I have had a washers and dryers that were comparable quality and function but far less expensive. That being said, it is an established brand with a strong reputation.

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

It performs as normally as any other washer. I like the different options and settings when washing and the fact that it is a front load instead of a top load. I have had this washer for about five or seven years now and it still works very well and washes my clothes as if we just bought it yesterday. It is a front load washer and it is white. One thing that I like about the washer is the different settings when washing and it also comes with a display as well. Im not really sure about the value of the product for the money it is worth because my parents bought the washer a while ago for themselves and then gave us the washer and dryer for me and my fiance when we moved into our new house. Overall my best guess would be that it is very valuable for the price.

I buy exclusively Kenmore for all my kitchen and vacuum needs, they run good and I even have a 30 year old washer and dryer still working. I love Kenmore products and this frig is perfect, cools very well and its big enough for my family size. I love the lower vegetable bins. I line them with white garbage bags so when they get dirty I change the bag. But when its running the motor is somewhat louder than I would like since our kitchen is one room with living room and I have to turn up the TV to hear it.

Model 25370313211 - I purchased this refrigerator November 22, 2012. Ten and 1/2 months later my freezer temperature started fluctuating from 0 to 18 degrees causing my food to thaw and partially refreeze. I contacted Sears within the first year of purchase and after several house calls and $1700 dollars worth of repairs they told me that any other problem would not be covered under the manufacture warranty. During the last few visits of repairs to my freezer my ice maker and water dispenser stopped working. Since this problem was not in the original complaint I had to pay for the repair. I was told by the repairman that it was a design flaw in the refrigerator and I would have that problem again which I did 3 months later. He showed me how to take the panel out of the inside and thaw the water line with a hair dryer. I have to thaw the waterline every eight weeks. This problem was not mentioned on the website when I purchased the refrigerator!!Less than a year after the last repair freezer temperature is fluctuating from 0 to 20 degrees (UNSAFE!) and Kenmore says they are no longer responsible. I spoke to 2 of the Kenmore service reps and they both agreed that the refrigerator I purchased was a lemon. One suggested that I speak to the store manager to see if he could help me. I spoke to him about my situation and he promised to call me in 3 days. He never returned my phone call. I went to the store and spoke to the assistant manager. He said that the products that they sell are not meant to last and that it was out of the stores hands since I had their Kenmore repairman work on my refrigerator. He again gave me their number and all they said is that they would offer me a 20% discount on my service. I told them that I did not have $1500 to spend on their defective product. Shame on you Sears!

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

It was efficient for the price. My washer and dryer worked fine and I am pleased with them. It worked well with cleaning my clothes and drying them efficiently. The appearance is white. One is a top loader and the dryer is a front loader. They are small enough to be kept in the utility room.

It was very useful. I liked the amount of power it had. It dried my clothes quickly. However, it made my house very hot. Every time I went upstairs, I could feel the heat from the dryer. Im not sure if it is the dryers problem or my own. It is reliable. It is not the best Ive ever had, but it is fine. I liked how it dried things very efficiently, but like I said before, Im not happy about how hot it made my house. It is quite attractive. It looks very modern and its the best-looking dryer Ive ever owned. I have other issues with it, but not appearance. The value is average. It is not the best, like many of the other features of this. However, I dont have a huge problem with it.

This machine definitely gets the job well done! I would use it like there is no tomorrow and I would definitely recommend to family and friends anytime. This washer fits the amount of laundry I want to wash at each time just the way I want them to so that every pieces of clothing can get the right wash. This washer is beautiful both on the inside out and comes in a very great and efficient manner and does the job better than other big brand name washer or dryer. The value of this machine is worth every cent because sometimes we pay more and does not get what we pay for but I can tell you youll never regret owning one of these.

We had this for about ten years before we had to have it fixed and then it last for about another five years. It lasted a long time and worked well. We could not fit all of our needed items in it because we are a large family so our solution was to do multiple loads of laundry. It worked well for us. Our washer was top loading and the dryer was front loading. They were both with which is what we wanted at the time. We like the appearance of them.

Kenmore has always been great and these washers and dryers keep it up. Best performance Ive ever had. Highly recommend this company to all my friends and family. Now getting a good wash has never been better plus the best part its all energy-saving. There is unbelievable value in this product. My old set was running my electric up but with Kenmore Im saving on average $20 on my electric bill each month. I have had my fair share of washers and dryers but none has stood up to the reliability of Kenmore. Now I dont have to worry about my clothes not being dry because of a dryer going bad. The sleek look makes my home look great. Not only does it work amazing, it looks amazing too. I dont have to be embarrassed by an ugly set anymore.

This washer/dryer set has operated without a repair for 18 years; it washes heavy and light loads satisfactorily. Routine maintenance such as cleaning the dryer filter is important to keeping it functioning at maximum efficiency!

My washer and dryer work great. I do many large loads and they hold up to the wear and tear like champs. They have never let me down and I expect them to keep going for years. I have never had a single issue with either my washer or dryer. They run consistently and perform with the efficiency that I expect. I have a top load washer and a front load dryer. The controls are easy to use. The white finish is easy to maintain and has been looking good for their constant and heavy use. I bought my washer and dryer during a Black Friday sale and couldnt be happier with the price I paid. They are energy-efficient and continue to prove cost-effective with the money I save in utility costs.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite Dryer from Sears at Southpark Mall, Strongsville, Ohio.This dryer was not cheap. Although I am very sorry I did not purchase the warranty plan. I did not, because in past years I never had trouble with Kenmore appliances.This dryer is so loud! I did call a few times to complain about it. I recommend that no one purchases this dryer. It has gotten to the point where it sounds like someone is beating it with a baseball bat! Unbearable. And finally it came to the point that I dont feel safe with it running. I am forced to purchase another new dryer! This one is only 5 yrs old now. This is a gas dryer and I am afraid of the thing actually blowing up in the house because the shaking and banging is so rough and loud. I feel it has already affected the gas line. Dont buy a Sears Kenmore Elite! An employee actually hung up on me 3 years ago when I complained about this dryer!This dryer is a safety issue in your home!

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

The washer was awesome. It was large enough to hold my blankets and bigger items where I didnt have to drag them to the laundromat anymore and got them cleaner than any other washer that I had ever owned. It wrung them out twice as good as any other machine I had owned so it meant less drying time. The washer was extremely dependable, reliable the whole time I owned it. It never let me down. It always got my clothes thoroughly and always wrung them out to the max. It was very elegant, very easy to keep clean and the overall appearance was sweet. They had a selection of colors so I could coordinate it so it didnt look tacky in my house. It was an exceptional value. I got both the washer and dryer for $2,000.00 with a 2-year warranty, which included delivery and set up.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite top load washing machine. Luckily, I did purchase the warranty at that time. Shortly after the purchase, the control board went out and needed to be replaced. If I hadnt had the warranty, it would have cost me which is seriously ridiculous, that a new washer should only last a few weeks. The machine continued to have this error code to come up. We would turn it off and restart it. It would work for a little while, then the code would appear again. I finally ordered another control board in December 2011. This one worked for a month or so, then it again started having the error again. The Washer at this time continues to get an error code, although now it will not go into the spin mode no matter how many times we turn it off and on, or unplug it.This has been a learning experience for me. This washer has been the worst major purchase I have ever made. I will not buy another Kenmore product. Its sad, because I thought they were a good name. I actually had purchased the washer, dryer, and the refrigerator at the same time. I havent had a problem with my dryer but had a major water problem with the water line to the refrigerator. I had to replace the water line twice to the refrigerator. It had leaked and flooded through the floor to the ceiling below.Needless to say, I havent been back to Sears in a a number of years, other than to buy the filters for my refrigerator. At this point, I cannot wait for them to get back to me regarding this stupid washing machine. I feel that if you spend that much money on a machine, it should last for more than 5 years without needing major repairs.

Kenmore performs like a dryer should and doesnt let me down! Have had this dryer for years and years and it has been so dependable. My grown up boys even used it when learning how to be on their own. Its very dependable indeed! I have used mine for years and years and it still performs well. It can dry a lot of clothes at one time and they all come out dried evenly. Its easy to keep clean inside and out. It has a tough, durable finish that still looks new. Just a quick spritz of cleaner and a quick wipe of a towel and it looks like new again! Kenmore has always been reasonably priced when you take into consideration how long and how well the product will last you. Having no worries that it will need costly and time-consuming repairs is a blessing.

Our Kenmore washer/dryer pair work beautifully, are inexpensive to operate, and have been wonderfully reliable. I would certainly buy them again. They wash extremely well and dry quickly and fully. Easy to operate and simple to load and unload. Highly recommended.

The dryer was quiet and efficiently dried loads of clothes. It allowed me to dry different articles of clothing from regular to delicates. I would recommend this dryer to family and friends alike. This dryer was so awesome that I never had to have it repaired. It stood up to the number of cycles I put it through and I still have it to this day. I hope I have this dryer forever. I love this dryer! It was a beautiful white color that blended perfectly with my washer and the decor in my washroom. The writing and dials on the dryer were subtle and easy to use. This was the best appliance in my home. Not having to lug all of my familys clothing to a laundry mat is well worth what I spent on the unit. I can do my laundry in the privacy of my own home. I couldnt ask for more.

2 years without a problem. Simple controls. Have dials so push buttons dont go bad. All I have to do is select the soil, water temp, and fill the tub. The machine even knows how much water to put in by how full the basket is. I had been shopping for a new set for some time. Most brands nowadays you have to have a degree in engineering to operate them. I needed something I could hook up and go. I dont want to spend a lot of time figuring out how to run the appliance. My set is so simple to use. No electronic parts/push buttons. Just turn the dial to your preferred setting and water temp. The water level in the machine is determined in the machine by the amount of clothes put in. So simple. Clothes come out clean. The dryer is just as simple and the clothes come out almost wrinkle free. No fuss. Able to get all the weekly laundry done in one day.

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

The Kenmore brand is usually a good product, little to no issues with it until we had it for about 7 years. Then, it wouldnt ring out like it was supposed to. A part went out on the dryer that needed replacing. We couldnt find anyone to come out and replace it so my husband and I had to replace the part by ourselves.

August 2016 I went shopping at Sears. I specifically asked to stay away from LG. I know they had many problems and steered clear. The sale associate failed to tell me Kenmores were now made with LG parts. I had my fridge less then 2 years and the compressor and system has failed. It took me 10 days to get a repair guy to come out and 10 more days to schedule for the repair. I can get it under warranty however, I am told I have to pay labor. They obviously are charging me an arm and a leg for labor. I have a Kenmore 13 year old fridge and an old washer and dryer that have lasted. I wanted to stick with what I knew. However, now that they have LG parts you pay the extra money for a small name stuck on the outside of the fridge. I would NEVER buy a Kenmore again, and would recommend others do the same. You are getting an LG fridge. If you want LG they are cheaper with the same parts.

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

Nothing beats a Kenmore for durability and reliability. I got my dryer over 17 years ago, and have not needed one single service call on it. It may not be quite as efficient as it once was, but what is? When I put my clothes in and press the shart button, I know without a doubt that it will start and run. I never have to worry that this is the day for it to break down. Also, it has a good appearance. Finally, considering what I originally paid for it and how long Ive had it, Id say its been an amazing value. I can only hope all my appliances would last this long.

I hate my Sears Kenmore Elite Washer and Dryer.The washer constantly goes off balance - even with small loads of two pairs of jeans and a polo shirt. I spread the clothes out at the beginning of a wash. On average, I have to stop the washer 2-3 times per load as it throws an error code because it is off balance. It finally broke down and decided to call Sears to schedule an appointment to have it looked at and repair it. The dryer also will not stop even if the clothes are brittle dry as it can only be set at 40 minutes. The representative asked if I also wanted that looked at. Obviously, I said, Yes. The appointment I maid was to be this Monday at 1pm - 5pm. I checked my email and one is at 8am - 12pm and the other is 1pm - 5pm. I am not sitting around all day waiting on Sears! I called to have both fixed between 1pm - 5pm. The representative said they cannot move the one to the afternoon. I asked for a supervisor but never got one even after calling back and waiting for more than 10 minutes listening to music.Boy wish I was strong enough to haul these back to Sears and leave them at their store. I only selected 1 star because there was no lesser option.

The only brand that lasts. It has a better cleaning rotation and it rings out the clothes for faster drying. The only brand I want to clean my clothes. Not a favorite chore doing laundry... but a good machine makes it better! The only washer drum that I can fit a king size comforter in... I really disliked taking those to the laundromat. In the old days I had to drive to the next town over... but now I can stay at home and wash them. It is a nice sparkling white color. I like its appearance. It looks good side by side with the dryer. I am completely happy with the appearance. The value is you no longer have to drag clothes to the laundromat with your detergent and fabric softener and hunt up quarters and drag it back home. You save time and gas money... Very valuable!

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

My Kenmore Calypso is 14 years old. No work EVER done on it. If it broke down tomorrow I cannot complain. My appliance repairman came out to work on my ice maker and he said I must be the only pet on planet Earth that has not had a problem with that washer but again no problems. My dryer is a Whirlpool with knobs. No electronics, it is 10 years old electric dryer. No problems ever.

Dryer has been dependable for years. Gets clothes dry in a reasonable amount of time and we have never had any issues with it. I would definitely buy a Kenmore again. Our Kenmore dryer has been completely reliable. We have not had one issue with it. Weve taken it on two cross country moves and it still works flawlessly. The appearance of our dryer is fine. Its not a showpiece but its pleasant enough. It is white and has clean lines, with blue accents on the dials. I am very happy with the value of our Kenmore dryer. We bought it starting out in our first house without a lot of money, but it has been dependable and we have not had any reason to upgrade even though we could now.

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

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

Dryer was formerly owned. Was used previously for over 5 years and I have used it 4 plus years without any issues. Just clean lint trap after each use, occasionally vacuum lint from under lint trap and you are good to go.

In over 14 years of usage of approximately 4-5 loads per week, the door latch gizmo went out twice and the control panel twice. Washer washes really well. Being the HT model must not use too much detergent. Gas dryer dries great. Overall the brand (Kenmore) is not bad. I know there are newer ones out with lots of gadgets but Im not a fan of these. I need a few cycles to cover most typical usage and these are great for that.

My mom purchased a Kenmore washer & dryer when we moved to Rialto back in 1962. My wife and I recently moved to the city of Banning 3 years ago and that is probably the only reason I replaced the old with the new. AND we only had to call for service on it 3 times!

Dries quickly and is very quiet. It has several settings and different cycles. Can use a buzzer to let you know when its done and also has an automatic dryer buzz. Fits all our needs. A large tub to hold clothes, no problems with it at all, easy to clean lint out of it, front part pulls off to clean. Its white with the buttons visible at the top. Easily can read and bright to see. Easily can be wiped down but stays fairly clean. A very nice looking washer. It is also high capacity with high heat so it decreases drying time. This is a time saver as well as a cost saver. It has lasted under high use with little cost towards repairs.

We just purchased an Electrolux washer and dryer but it hasnt arrived yet. Our other set is a Kenmore front loader, which is okay but the rubber seal went out. So unless we wanted to pay $450.00 for the repair cost for a rubber seal, it made more sense to purchase a new set. The quality was poor in the Kenmore. Im looking forward to the new set!

I bought a new Kenmore Elite washer and dryer from Sears back in Feb. 2013 and have had nothing but trouble with it. Within the first two weeks, the dryer blew up and Sears had to bring a new one out. The service men entered my home illegally, and they had a bad attitude. They tore my floor up in my laundry room, then lied and said that it was already like that. The owner of the store came out and thought that he was just going to cut a little piece of linoleum and patch it together but I wouldnt let him. He also had such a bad attitude that I asked him to get out. The washer cannot be leveled and vibrates and jumps around. They said that my floor was weak, but little do they know that there is an extra beam and support in the laundry room area. They are complete liars and scam artists. My last washer, one that I didnt purchase from Sears, nor was it Kenmore Elite, never had a level problem.Now, the service guy came out AGAIN because the control panel on the dryer started malfunctioning. This is all within 5 1/2 months of purchase. So what happens when my warranty runs out? I guess they think that Im just another animal that theyre gonna leech from but its not gonna happen! I called Sears corporate and asked for a refund and they laughed and refused. I told them that I was going to file Lemon Law suit against them but they dont care. Their insurance will pay for it.We bought Kenmore Elite (over $2000.00) because we wanted something that would last us for years. LOL. Looks like we made a big mistake. We have no confidence in Kenmore anymore. Were not rich and cannot run out and buy another washer and dryer, so were pretty much screwed. How could two different companies (Sears, Kenmore) do people this way and get away with it? We will NEVER buy anything from Sears or Kenmore again, and I will start a Facebook campaign against them and warn other people about this cheap junk, and about the rude people at Sears. This is so frustrating!

It gives the clothes that fresh clean like they are new again. I love it. Gives the impression that Im not wasting money at a laundromat. They have a very long life. If anything happens it’s a quick easy fix and working like new again. You cant get a product thats made with such great pride anymore. The washer has a huge washing area and is quiet from start until finish. You dont even know its done with. As silent as it is the dryer works wonders. The set isnt nearly as much as lesser sets that you would have lots of issues with. Just get this set and leave it to your grandkids. It will last that long.

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

There is nothing worse than getting out of the shower and drying your face with a smelly moldy towel. Kenmore smartwash 5+ front load washer smells like mold even after cleaning with bleach solution, washing machine cleaner, and leaving the door open all the time which block the doorway and is very inconvenient. Clothes are left smelling even after rinsing twice and using dryer sheets. I have talked to a repairman. We have extended warranty with no solution to this problem. Unless you are right there to remove from washer immediately, which is ridiculous and cleaning the rubber around the door constantly is a joke. I would never have bought this product if I knew and I am very disappointed. Why hasnt this machine been recalled.
