Its a very good washer. Very strong and well made. I really like it. Its been a very good one made strong and to last. Id buy another if I needed to. Great service. Its long lasting and does a great job on washing your laundry. It was made by a good company and has last me a while now. Id buy the same brand if I needed to. Very stylish, fits in with my home decor, just the perfect color and design. They make their product nice and appealing. I love the way they make them. Very good value, not real expensive. Its a good price for something that does a great job. I would suggest everyone give them a try. I think I got a fair deal on mine.

I called Sears because my washer is making holes in my clothing because the agitator does not sit flush at the bottom and the clothes get stuck and wrapped around it and it is difficult to unravel them. The strings also get entwined as well. This has been an ongoing problem since I had the machine. Noticing when I went online the Sears Elite Oasis has had ongoing problems as well as the one I just mentioned above. It is a lemon and should be replaced. They dont even sell this machine anymore. I guess thats telling me something. Sears wants to send a service man and charge me for something that clearly is a manufacturers defect. I said absolutely not. Please direct me as to how I can get them to replace or repair it without any cost to me. Thank you.

We purchased a Kenmore top-loading high efficiency clothes washing machine June 2013 in order to be more eco-friendly and save on the amount of water used. Although I always use the extra rinse to make sure any detergent is washed away, there has often been a white residue deposited on dark clothes. I use the HE All detergent. Over the plus year-and-a-half there has never been a problem with mold because I always leave the lid up and also sponge away any liquid left in the dispensing cups. What can I do about this white residue left on my dark clothes?

This washer is large and handles my kids messy clothes easily. It is quiet and uses much less water than my previous washer. It can handle bulky loads with ease. We have had this washer for 5 years and have never had any issues to the need to call for a service repair. Best part is, if you follow the directions, dirty clothes come out clean! It isnt the most modern look, and it has a lot of different buttons, but it is a practical looking washer. The dial might be a bit antiquated looking, but it is easy to use. This washer is a little more expensive than others, but it is eco-friendly and cuts down on water use, which in drought-stricken areas makes it totally worth it. Plus, it is competitively priced with other front loaders.

Great at getting clothes clean. Not too noisy. Handles large loads well. Many cycle options. Worry free operation. Very dependable usage. Never a repair or performance issue. Construction is very heavy duty and sturdy. Will last many years to come. Well worth price. Very attractive appearance blends in well with any decor. Shows function features and controls very easily. Looks a lot more expensive but is not. Works as well as many more expensive higher end machines at a much lower price. A great bargain if on budget.

I am convinced that Kenmore service reps are trained to deny any problem with this washer, as well as the reps that handle setting up service calls. My machine (11066132*410) has, since the first dark load, left clothes covered in a white/gray residue that must also be covering light clothes just that it isnt as apparent. We have followed several different suggested procedures to try and clean the tub, but nothing has worked. We have encountered nothing but indifference and rudeness... Finally it was claimed that we had been responsible. Puleeeze... Stay away from Kenmore.

It handles large loads really well. I can put a ton of clothes in it without worry. Ive never had an unbalanced load. I like that I can wash many heavy or big blankets in one wash. It super quiet. If I forget to put something in I can throw it in after its already started without worry. The temperature setting are reliable. Its also durable and quiet, no vibration or rattling problems. I get compliments on its appearance all the time. I love the see through top. You can actually see your clothes being washed. Its really easy to keep clean and the settings and handles are easy to read. Its expensive but worth every penny. The warranty is a great stress reliever... even though Ive never had to use it. Ive had it for 2 years and it looks and works just like I bought yesterday. Its worth the money.

I bought a Kenmore Elite Washer from Sears about 5 years ago. I have had it repaired twice and it never cleans my clothes. It has more error messages than anything I have ever seen. It locks, puts error F11 and you cannot get your clothes out of the washer, cannot open the door does not matter if you unplug it or not. Then another error, then another. It is impossible to do laundry. I HATE THIS WASHER. I WOULD NOT BUY A THING FROM SEARS. They lie and tell you they will stand by a product but they do not. They want another 600.00 to walk in the door to fix the washer. I might as well buy a new one. ONE THAT WORKS.

Profoundly bad experience with this Kenmore Series 100. Dryer handle broke 1 week after bringing it home. Washing machine is stunningly bad. I have to wear white for my job and I have to run 3 cycles to get my clothes clean. This experience has led me to refurbish my old machines and expect to see another 20 years of AMAZING quality from my laundry machines. I will NEVER BUY KENMORE AGAIN.

Have found faster cycles with some other brands, but overall happy!! Kenmore is a reliable brand and great otherwise. :) I like any front load washer, but there should be a better airing out option. I usually pack clothes and towels in to my washing machines, this fits large loads and fits all of my washing needs. I would prefer for the washer to drain and dry without needing to prop the door open. Looks great and fits in any laundry room or laundry area of a home. Be sure to prop door open, detergent door as well... Will get musty otherwise. Kenmore value is always prevalent as the quality is usually very high. All parts have worked well and havent had any issue with the value of the product.

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

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

I have had this washer about seven years and I bought it used. To this day it still works. It is what I use weekly to do our laundry in. Im very satisfied with it. I can get a full load in there. Sometimes Ive overloaded it but other than that it works great as long as I dont have too many dirty clothes in. It does have a few nicks and dings in it. Couple of rough spots too but it washes out of clothes just fine and to me thats all that matters. Even though it is probably 15 years old I would say the value of it would be at least $100 because it works perfectly. I just pulled out a trash bag full of winter clothes with jeans and coats and was able to get a huge black trash bag washed into loads of laundry.

It is one of the cheaper models but it gets the job done. As long as you dont pack it too full it will get your clothes really clean. And you save a ton of money because these work just as well as the more expensive models. Its not anything fancy or futuristic but it has a few control knobs and is very easy to use if you arent good with technology. It has a very basic appearance but it looks good overall. Ive had mine for 4 years and I have never had any problems with it at all. These washers are really tough and durable which is the reason I choose to always buy this brand.

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

It cleaned without extra cycles and the multiple settings were enough for all my cleaning needs. The tub was a little small, but I usually wash a few times a week anyway so this was not a problem. I never had any issues over the life of the washer, it always worked well, and was consistent from day one. I had to replace the belt one time in all the years I have owned it. It is classic white and I never worried about the looks. It is easy to clean, and stable where it was put. For the price it works great. It is easy to maintain the ability to somewhat overload, and have clean clothes that have not been destroyed is a tribute to the brand.

Its a good washer that weve had for a couple years. It can handle big loads and gets everything nice and clean without any trouble at all. Very reliable washer. It has never been broken and never stopped working. It runs like its new and is very clean. I love it so much. I like the appearance of my washer. You can tell its newer and more modern by having the door in the front instead of loading it from the top of the washer. I think it was a good value. I cant remember exactly how much we spent on it but I know that we got it on sale for a decent price a couple of years ago.

Purchased this POS only 15 months ago. Now the washer is rusted out and different parts are worn from the use. How often do you use a washer?? There is no reason that this 700 series Kenmore washer should be worn out this early. I hope this company goes out of business.

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

Expert construction with quality results. Gets clothes clean and does not tangle them all up. The agitation is gentle where it does not shake the whole machine. Dryer leaves clothes wrinkle free. Great investment. Adjust the settings to your desired mode and the machines are carefree. One is free to go about other chores and not have to worry about keeping an eye on a Kenmore. Attractive white in color. Blends in with everything. It doesnt show fingerprints. Easy to clean and keep dust free. Dust filter is within easy access. The value of a Kenmore is priceless because its worry free. If in need of repair, parts are easily obtainable. Kenmore is an easy machine for a repairman to work on and parts dont cost an arm and a leg.

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.

The water of my washer will not drain plus it has all kinds of error codes. I had to pay $129.00 for a repairman to take the bottom section below the door and unscrew a 3 round end off and clean out a trap that if in the book, I could have done myself. This should be included in the care of the washers to be checked once a year. This is just another way for them to take advantage of the consumer. I posted on FB to get the word out and to save everyone some hard earn money.

Ive used a Kenmore washer as long I can remember, Ive ways found it to be very durable, and will last until its on it last leg, it is always my first choice. When I am looking for a reliable appliance, kenmore is the first to come to mind.

Economic on water use and energy efficient, quick, stable, cleans well with good array of different cycles, easy to use, load and unload. Ergonomic design fits well with normal counter heights. Durable with ability to handle recurring and high-frequency heavy loads. No maintenance or repair issues since owned. Reliable timer devices and release of additive like fabric softener. Clean lines and ergonomic design, with color choices, that integrate with laundry room design. Dials and doors are placed in convenient locations and add to look of appliance. Price was higher than some competitors model of similar in function and level in line. Cost higher than lower line machines. Reliability and durability balances cost for a good value for cost.

I have rust in the first three months of the washing machine, within four years I have Rust throughout the damn thing and they will not fix it or replace it. I pay for five year warranty and they still will not replace my washing Machine.

I highly recommend this machine. Clean design and lines, will fit with any decor, is versatile. The white color cleans up nicely. I’ve had other washer that got dirty easily but not this baby. All clothes come out clean, enough settings to clean anything, easy to use and clean, very reliable and has a small electrical footprint. This machine is great for the money, doesnt have all the bells and whistles but it looks nice and has worked great from day one. Had washer over 2 years now and hasnt needed any servicing or maintenance. I think it would be hard to find a better machine.

Bought the Kenmore Oasis Washing Machine, 110.270 and just like thousands of others on this board, my machine started showing an F1 error code. It also started shaking the house and sounded like a rocket taking off during the spin cycle. Just google Whirlpool bearing or Kenmore bearing and youll see many more issues just like mine. Turns out, Kenmore/Sears is doing a quiet recall of the control board. Theyll send a tech out to replace your control board. This procedure takes no more than 15 minutes to complete and the average homeowner could do it themselves in minutes. HOWEVER...What is not under quiet recall is the loud and unbearable rocket sound during the spin cycle. That fix will require that your bearings be replaced on your unit. Is the bearing failure caused by the bad control board? Im not an engineer so I dont know but if I read the 1000s of posts, you rarely see one without the other. So this is where the story gets interesting. According to Sears, Whirlpool offers a 10-year warranty on the Whirlpool tub of the washing machine. The Whirlpool tub hereto now includes the bearings and shaft. Well, guess what? Whirlpool started fielding so many complaints that they made a kit (separate from the tub) that allows technicians to replace the bearings separate from the tub. Guess what? That bearing kit is not covered by the 10-year warranty because its now considered separate from the tub. It will now cost the homeowner $160-180 for the bearing kit and approximately $150-$200 for the service. That equates to roughly $350++ to repair a part that is clearly a manufacturer defect. This defect is so popular that appliance shops have created videos on how to fix the machine yourself. There are many posts about the poor quality of the Whirlpool Cabrio and Kenmore Oasis washing machines - related to the bearing failure and the control board issues. I have lost complete confidence in both of these brands for how they have handled the issue. I will do my best to never purchase either brand in the future.

Works every time, never fails. Clothes sparkle and machine is sturdy and never needs repair. Fits perfect in laundry room. Easy to operate and unload clothes and color of appliance suits to a T.

I found this washer great! It cleaned all of my clothes great and has lasted me over 5 years now. I would recommend this to my close friends. Sadly they dont have a stainless steel model. This washer is very reliable. Its so reliable it has lasted me a long time, more than five years which is just very crazy. It still looks great like factory new! I have the white model which is very nice looking but I would like a stainless steel version but for now Im happy. I wish it could be a bit cheaper but in the long run I found it very valuable to me so the extra cost was just nothing.

Kenmore Elite Oasis He Repair - Purchased this washer about 6 years ago. For the last 3 years has had difficulty filling and draining. My clothes come out dingy and dry in places at times. Takes 10-12 days for repair appt. When a part is needed and not on the truck, its another 10-12 days to order a part, then another 10-12 days to book a repair appt. That means no washer for 2-4 weeks for each repair. Going to the laundromat for 10 loads gets old. Sears warranty replacement guarantee only kicks in if a major part was replaced 5 times in a calendar year. They have been out several times for the problem, but because no major part replaced it doesnt count. Have gone to Customer Care numerous times without success. Frustrating.

Very effective on hard stains. A little loud but easy to understand directions. Allowed for fairly large loads and was gentle on delicate clothes. Could be overloaded in washer if not careful then it would not move very well. Very reliable. Was pretty fast and did a nice job with all sorts of stains. Appearance was nice and smooth. The controls were easy to use and understand. The door was smooth but closed fast with a slam if you were not careful. Value was fine. I feel like I always pay more for a product than what I should. But for what I needed and how it worked it was worth the price.

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.

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.

The Kenmore washer had very good reviews and a 90 percent approval rating. I ordered it online and received free shipping and free installation. This was also at a deep discount with me only paying $350 for it and in the whole time I have had I can see why it received such good reviews. I like that it has something of a touchscreen on it. There are about a dozen different wash cycles to choose from like whites, colors, heavy, delicate and normal. There are also an option to have it chime and a fabric softener button and a dispenser for bleach. However, the tub is not very secure in the washer or at least it seems so. You can reach in and grab on to the edge of the tub and move and shake it around. It is also very deep and it is hard to reach all the clothes since I am so short.

I love how the washer is not loud and that it is very fast washing my clothes. I love the style and how it look and how it fit right in with my house. Meets all my needs. I wash all my clothes with cold water but I love how clean my clothes comes out and fast it take to wash them. I love all the different power setting. Have a very nice look and style to it. Makes my home feel like an home. Very nice in details. I love a white clean look like I have. And its very nice and dont take up too much room. Have good value and very quiet so you will not hear nothing. So if you want to watch tv in your living room you can and dont feel like you hearing your washer over anything.

We bought this HE Kenmore Elite top load washer several years ago. First we noticed that the thing just didnt clean the clothes well--- whites were coming out gray, etc. Then it started getting loud during the spin cycle. I dont mean noisy-- I mean LOUD. I looked on the Internet and found many complaints about this-- apparently the bearings are often defective and go bad quickly. The cost to replace is more expensive than just replacing it with a standard washer that actually cleans clothes. As I sit here typing the thing has gotten so loud that Im certain OSHA would require hearing protection to be near it. Were now beginning to notice tears in sheets and table clothes. Not only is it deafening and cleans poorly, its now actually damaging our clothes and linens! I hate the thing--- I mean HATE it. It was a total waste of money and were just trying to get enough use out of it to make buying a new washer cost-effective. A horrible, horrible piece of poop. The Kenmore brand used to be reliable-- its no wonder Sears is on the ropes and possibly failing. It deserves its fate.

Purchased $779 Kenmore Elite Washer model #29272000 in April 2011. In April 2013 sent a letter directly to Sears to complain about the rust all around the bleach dispenser. Did not receive any response. Now, a year later, the rust is far worse. I know from reading online comments, this has been a problem for years and Sears didnt figure out how to stop it and continued to sell this faulty product. The problems with this machine do not end with the rust. We suffer daily with the brutal wash cycle that ruins clothes, does not wash jeans and blankets without the UE error requiring constant adjustment to get the loads done, and bleach residue dispensing when you dont want it to so darks are spotted with white spots.It is bothersome that this expensive appliance is such a sad example of Kenmore and the fact that even though they knew it was a mess, it still was sold for years without correcting any of the problems. I was a faithful Sears consumer and yet now have no interest in a future dealing with them. I want a washer that doesnt harm my clothes AND isnt rusting after only a few years.

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).

A lightning damaged the wires of Laundry Center Kenmore 1YU1000 purchased in September 2009. Technician no. ** repaired the wires on August 16 and charged $408.64.After one week waiting for the parts, the washer was used immediately and it did not complete the cycle and left the laundry soaked in water. A second technician came today and said that the water pump and a belt were defective and to replace them, we would be charged $184.91. I ask you, is this appropriate for a barely two-year-old appliance? Never again will I buy anything else from Sears.

The washer works really well. The clothes get very clean and Ive never had any issues with it. I think this washer will last for years and years without issue. This washer is very reliable. I have had it for over 5 years and have never had any issue with it at all. This is a very clean, white, plain looking washer. It will easy fit in with any decor a consumer may have. The buttons are easy to use, and would be good even for people with arthritis. I have gotten more than my moneys worth out of this washer and its still going strong. It is certainly worth the manufacturers asking price.

For 75 days I have had a Kenmore washer that has not worked properly. I waited one month for a repairman to say it is broken. A month later a repairman came. The part shipped was damaged. A new part arrived a week later. After four hours, they installed the part only to break another one. Now waiting for a repairman this Friday. I cant use my machine at all now. The Helpline says they cant help.

I bought this washer a year ago and wish I could drop it off a cliff. It does not fill or clean well. I have to add water and run through deep fill cycles again (how does that save water)? Pant legs, sleeves, etc get tangled up in knots when spinning. Help! What have other done about this piece of garbage???

I have a front load extra large capacity washer with sensors that determines load size and how long, strenuous or light the wash cycle will be. So far, I don't have to worry about what I am washing - heavily soiled items, denims, delicates or bulky linens, this washing machine has done a perfect job. Love it!

The performance is top notch. It washes and clean clothes thoroughly. I havent had any problems with it. It always spins fast and finish my clothes in no time. It even works great on some of the toughest materials. I have had this washer for about 3 years and I havent had any problems. It hasnt even clumped out on me yet. It cleans my clothes to perfection and always gets the job done. The appearance is very basic bit still nice. Its nothing to brag about but its nice. Its white all over and have coloring in the words and symbols. Its value was very fair. It was definitely worth every penny I paid for it. It performs at a very high quality for its value. I would definitely recommend.

Have not had any problems with this. It does the job and didnt cost me an arm and a leg to get it. Does not use too much water, and it was very easy to install. I never have to have this services. It works every time and I am completely satisfied with how my clothes are washed. I only use cold water, so this machine is a good choice. I paid somewhere 200 to 300 dollars and I think it is a valuable piece of machinery that has easily paid me back in the time it has saved me doing laundry.

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

Affordability, simplicity, and maintenance, all add to the experience of ownership. Works great. Really gets clothes clean. Energy efficient and durable, all the things I expect in such a important home essential.

Never had an issues with performance. Gets my clothes clean with minimal effort. Very quiet in its operation. Very good value for the money. I am extremely happy with the quality the machine has. I have had this washer for the last six years. It replaced a older kenmore that was at least fifteen years old. I had never had an issue with either one. The reason it was replaced was a sale price I could not pass up. The design is a simple design. It is a basic washer but that is my style. Does not stand out but that is the reason I bought it. Very easy to keep clean. I bought over the summer during a Fourth of July sale. For my money it was the best value that I came across.

Its quiet, dependable, energy-efficient and really works hard. Eight loads a week and it holds up. Does blankets, rugs, work clothes, coats, regular laundry. Works well with heavy loads too. For the price we paid, we have not had a repair bill. Its easy to use and clean. It can be moved easily, and with one person. We love it and once in a while family brings things when their washer breaks down.

It is designed well. The finish and appearance look very good still, it has not deteriorated in all the time that I have had it. It still works and performs like it did when it was brand new, keeps my clothes clean, and the controls allow me to customize the wash exactly how I want it. Its definitely reliable, always works great, no repairs necessary and never breaks. They are well built, made out of strong materials, solid, and very durable. Its a fairly good money layout. Also, when its time to buy a new one, I can always sell the old one.

We have purchased 2 separate Kenmore Power Miser 55 gal water heaters, warranty for 6 yrs, both have consistently failed from leaking tanks after 4 yrs, even though properly installed with water softener, pressure reducing valves and expansion tank. Warranty for first was honored after an $89.00 service charge to verify failure, and a replacement heater (less efficient and smaller capacity) was provided, and they did ship it to our home. We recycled the failed one. When the second one failed, same $89.00 service charge, and an offer for the same less efficient smaller unit was made ---- however, this time they are out of stock and it will be more than a month before available. In addition, they require that we travel over 20 miles to pick it up ourselves and MUST return the defective water heater to them at that time which requires disconnection of it leaving the wiring and plumbing dangling in the meantime, and loading it ourselves, at a couple 100 lbs or more. Clearly this is a ploy to discourage using the warranty----never in my life have I seen a store require to return of a defective water heater. In their defense, they did offer delivery for a $125.00 (which was no charge last time). The manager at the pick-up Sears outlet also seems to specialize in rudeness when dealing with him. The entire experience with both the heaters and Sears has been terrible!

Sears (Whirlpool) washer model 110 261 132411 - I purchased this washer in Oct 2016. I went back to the store to complain about the noise when the washer is filling with warm water. The washer bangs the hot and cold pipes off and on over 20 times to get warm water??? The noise is ridiculous and is annoying not only to me but to my townhouse neighbor. I have checked the pipes and they are secure to the boards. I had a service person check things out and he said they could do nothing and it was my problem. I have never had such a problem with a washer. I have always liked Kenmore products but after this I will go to Samsung.

I think it is great. I never have any problems with it. It is a great power machine. It never fails and I always have warm dry clothes when I want them. I want to share that this machine is the best and I want to go and do things and I cant and I want to see things that I cant. Theyre the best that you can get and I want to see more about these and do more for them and help them become the best they can be. I think they have enough space and the value is unreal. You wont have to replace them forever and I love them.

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.

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

I am so unhappy with this washing machine. It simply does not rinse the soap residue from dark fabrics. The last batch of dark colors, navy, black, jeans, etc. came out with white soap marks all over. I rewashed with no soap and added a rinse cycle. Still bad! I washed a king size teal colored blanket. After three rinses, I hauled the wet thing to the Sears store and showed them all the soap residue. They told me I used too much soap! Now I use a fraction of the soap and still get the residue. Dont buy this...

Kenmore Elite was a highly rated model by Consumer Reports for a front loading washer. They have been very trouble free. Washer has a huge capacity and gets the laundry very clean. Wash cycle is reasonable and the machine is easy to load, easy to operate. I first search for reviews of the models I may be interested in, including incident of repair and the repair reviews for the model. I then consider features and price, if the appliance had a high incident of repairs and poor response to warranty work by the manufacturer/vendor, if the appliance had confusing controls or washer did not clean out soap dispenser. Kenmore is a very reliable brand that has always been rated high. The front loading machines are very efficient. I did learn that they can impart an odor to your clothes though.

The appearance of this appliance was just OK, but its long lasting so the value was satisfactory for the amount paid. It had multiple settings which was very nice. It functioned very well and was not loud. It solved the dirty clothes issues and it never destroyed clothing. You could also add ANY kind of cleaner to it. The machine was not complex and just needed modernization, but all in all it did the job it was supposed to do.

The performance was top quality. I loved this machine. It lasted a long time without breaking. It was pretty good to me. I like this brand a lot. The reliability of this machine was excellent. I thought it was just as good as a general electric one. It was awesome for the record. I coud not have asked for more. The washer was a front loading type of washer. It was very strong in handling clothes to wash and it gave us years of great and quality service. What a great washing machine. The price that we paid for this washing machine was just right, it was worth the price that we paid for it.

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

It is pretty good. Gets the clothes clean. The washer works pretty quietly and efficiently - it is reliable. It is ready when I need it. It starts easily and is easy to use. It does not require a lot of work or maintenance. So it is easy to throw in load of laundry and go do something else. The washer is ok looking - it is classic looking - white and clean looking - simple not complicated. It does not take a lot of spaces - fits in corner nicely. It is a good value - if I had to take laundry out it would take so much of my precious time - it is so much easier to be able to do laundry at home.

It does a good job at cleaning my clothes as well as helping take the smell out. I use this washer all the time, and Id buy it again. I would highly recommend to anyone. It has a very large interior, and I can fit all of my clothes inside it. It is utterly amazing! I never have to do more than 2 loads of all of my clothes, ever. It is a very sleek design. I like the front load because you can watch the clothes spin. It fits nicely, and the white color fits in with its surroundings very well. It is worth every penny. It is not the cheapest option, but the space inside saves you big bucks in the long run because you do less loads.

My new washer broke after about 2 months and took another 2 months to repair due to lousy repairman and Sears warranty being worthless. I do not recommend any of their products. It took 3 attempts to find out the entire interior washer basin needed to be replaced. Now working fine but my gripe is even with warranty protection there were not enough certified repair people and it got farmed out to a repair company that was substandard.

Kenmore gets our clothes clean, offers a Vietnam of cycles, temperatures and I am please. Kids do their own laundry so its easy to use. It stays clean and fresh smelling and cycles are fast. It is definitely reliable. Have had to for a few years and we do several loads a weeks. Have not had any issues with it not operating correctly. We are pleased with its functioning capability. Cant say I have seen a good looking or a bad looking washing machine but this machine is attractive. We have had it for a few years and I honestly do not remember what we paid for it but considering it has worked without issues for this long I would say it was good value.

We just purchased a Sears 500 series top loading washer. It does not get clothes clean. After washing whites, with bleach, towels used for baking with some chocolate batter stains did not get clean. Stains remained. The machine does not put enough water in the tub to get clothes clean. It does not agitate enough to get out spots. Autofill simply does a terrible job at assessing amount of water needed per load. There is no way for the consumer to add more water to a load. The machine fails on design and execution. If not buy this product.

Very disappointed for the price I pay and This washer machine is been fix several times already. Pay too much. I request Kenmore to replace the machine but no answer. I just have to pay a deductible of $75 to get it fix. Don’t buy this product.

Gets my stuff very clean. I cant say how well it works. I never got to worry about stains, they are gone. Washer has been a life saver to me and my family. It has never broke or had any issues with my washer. If I had to choose I would get them again. Thanks Kenmore for great service. I could not ask for a better washer for my family. It is sleek and great, so small it fits and powerful. Many color options are available but I choose white. I have always love the look of the washer. It s a great value. I got it due to the price was good along with the quality could not ask for better washer. If I had another choice I would still go with the brand and one I chose.

Kenmore 600s series from Sears - This washer was highly recommended by be salesman. We paid more than we wanted but wanted a good quality washer. I regret ever buying this washer. We are a household of 7 and it is frustrating that the clothes do not even get wet when they are being washed and nothing ever smells clean. Please do your research before investing good money and not getting what you pay for.

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.

Four washing cycles to choose from, including the pre-wash cycle, large capacity tub, good cleaning performance. Only one problem was the liquid fabric softener build up needed maintenance. Purchased, performed, and lasted an incredible twenty years for a family of six. Replaced due to the arrival of a unexpected bundle of joy. Very busy mothers need, such as I was, needed the confidence of the reliability. Ran almost constantly. Balance of the tub capacity, very good. Large enough for all blankets, comforters, and a very fair amount of towels, jeans, etc. in loads. This washer was more for the performance than its appearance. If I needed an attractive appliance, I still would have chosen this model. I was more involved in the washers performance than the appearance. Value was well worth the cost of the appliance. Dependable and reliable. Used for two decades and only one service call on the appliance.

I do not like my washing machine. When it is finished washing there is one pieces of clothing that literally covers all the clothes and appears to tuck all the clothes in under it. Sometimes the piece on top is not totally wet and I wonder if it even got washed. Then I wonder if the ones under it got washed because they are so neatly tucked in. It looks like a loaf of bread waiting to rise in a bowl. I have been careful the way I load it, but it still comes out wrapped up, especially when I do sheets. The bottom sheet always wraps everything. I also have a problem with the dark load coming out with white spots. I use the All pods and have to cut the pod and put the detergent in the dispenser. And... the softener never completely empties.

I love my washing machine, it has been very dependable. In the future I probably would not buy a front loader again because of having to leave it open always. Sadly to say I do not even know if a person is still able to purchase a Kenmore machine.

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.

For a high-end washer it has broken down twice within its first year of use. Top rack wont stay in when pushed in. Kenmore used to be a quality brand. That is no longer the case. We own three Kenmore products and none has lasted or functioned without problems. Buy another brand.

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.

After only 2 years it... DIED! Bearing crapped out. Repairman stated all companies make appliances that die in 2-3 years or COST TOO MUCH to repair. There goes an $800 washer. I suggest paying double for a Speed Queen or Bosch or just buy the extended warranty and make the company pay for a new one when it fails!

My washing machine was showing UE and was remaining unbalanced during washing. I found the specific recall through their website for this repair. I called 2 1/2 weeks ago. I was told they would be here to fix my machine in 5 days between the hours of 8 a - 4 p. I stayed home from work. I called to check on the arrival of my repair man and was told they would be there the following week. I asked to be moved up, they replied they could not do that. I again stayed home today June 30, the date told to me a week ago. I called at 9:30 am for the arrival time. They said to call back at 10:30 am. I did. They said a technician would be here between 12:30 - 1:30. At 1:45, I called and they said the technician was sick and they cannot reschedule until July 3. We have five children getting ready to leave for camp and no washing machine! I have taken two days off work and I am beyond frustrated. I will never purchase a Kenmore or Sears product again. I would encourage others to purchase appliances from another company as well.

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 think it works really well. I love my Kenmore. It is the best washer I have ever had and I havent at this date had any problems with it. I havent had a problem in two years which in my opinion pretty much makes it pay for itself. It doesnt look bad, it looks like a decent mid-level washer. My washer was decently priced in the middle of the ones we looked at. Ill never use anything other than a Kenmore.

It is adjustable for cold to hot water, fabric settings, large capacity for clothes, and works very well in all situations. I love the way it works and would recommend it to everyone. Kenmore is a great brand and things work the way they should, no problems so far. I can count on Kenmore washers to do the best job for my clothes and I do not need a more expensive brand. The Kenmore washer is very modern model and cleans up very well, has a color that matches any decor you have in mind and looks good too. I just love it. The Kenmore model value is great price, good for heavy and light loads of laundry. You cannot get a better value than this machine. It works great.

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!

I have had this washer fixed twice. It doesn’t clean as well. I get frustrated...no more insurance for machine. Will check which wash is better next time. I bought the soap which is recommended for the washer and still get frustrated.

I had this washer for probably too many years, and my clothes were always fresh and even large loads were cleaned throughout. It was streamlined in appearance. The white was crisp and clean and aesthetically appealing. But one day it just quit, and nothing could save it. My washer stopped draining water and emptying liquid detergent (which was okay, just pop in little detergent pods) after a few years of use, but until that point it was just fine. I paid a hefty amount for the set, under the assumption that it would be worth it with the warranty I had, however, it was too good to be true and that enormous price tag made a huge impact.

This is my second Kenmore washer (mod. 110). After five years with the first one, it started wrapping clothes around the agitator and tearing them. So we bought another one (mod. 110). After five months, it is doing the same thing.

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!

Horrendous customer service. Installation done incorrectly. Salesman only cared about the sale and made guarantees that did not occur. The washing machine is of good quality but is very difficult to clean as parts that are visibly dirty cannot be reached. Would never go Kenmore again.

I purchased a Kenmore Washer few months ago which is preforming well so far. So far I am very happy with the washer and the brand. I would suggest others to buy the washer.

Ive really enjoyed it and its lasted me for years worth no mechanical issues at all! Id fully recommend it. It washed my citys perfectly and never caused any damaged. Very quiet and fast cycle! I feel that this Kenmore washing machine is very reliable because I have had it for many years and much more to come to no avail have I come across any mechanical issues whatsoever and I have relied on it greatly and am very pleased with my purchase and I would recommend it to many! The appearance of the water is pretty basic but nonetheless quite fitting in any home laundry room and I have always preferred a top load washer anyways and so I actually like the look of it! I feel like this washing machine is a great value for the money that I spent on hey! Especially as Ive stated in princess that me for so long and so because of that I actually would have ended up paying more most likely!

We bought the Kenmore Elite 29272, the day after Thanksgiving in 2010. We are now on the second main control board in ten months. Both times, the part has been back ordered and Sears has called the day before our appointment to reschedule. In both cases, they put the situation in our hands to track the part and then call them once we have the part in hand to not waste their time. What about our time? Each occurrence has lasted a month. This means the washer has only been in use 8 of the 10 months we have had it. I think they were trying to draw out the time so it falls out of warranty.The customer service department term used loosely is extremely rude. This is an outsourcing issue as there is no culpability with the product or support. The customer service person had the gall to indicate that if we feel that strongly about how bad the product is, to write the CEO. This is actually not a bad idea, though it will be intercepted long before reaching the intended source. Once the warranty fails, we are tempted to use the National Tire & Battery plan with Sears. Anyone that has seen the commercial, understands to throw the product through the plate glass window. Then, we will get a new washer that will not be a Kenmore (actually, a re-branded LG). Koreans.

The washer performs wonderfully, without having any kinds of malfunctions or leakage problems. It gets my clothes and towels clean in a short amount of time and is very quiet when it is doing its cycle. This washer is very reliable as far as being big enough to fit all of my needed items and the time it takes to thoroughly clean all of my clothes. It does everything that I need it to do in a short amount of time. The washer has a very beautiful appearance. It is very sleek and modern in its design, making it have a very nice appearance. The design is very clean looking and looks well in my modern house. This washer has a very good value for what I paid for it. Ive definitely gotten my moneys worth out of this washer. It works very efficiently and is the best washer Ive ever had.

I think this is one of the best units I have ever had. It was very surprising how quick and efficient it is. I am very satisfied with all of the options that are available and how quickly it handles each cycle. This is the best washer that I have ever owned and does a great job on both my husbands filthy work clothes and my more delicate items. Definitely very reliable. I have yet to have to stop the load because of any problems. I can count on it getting my clothes clean the first time. It has never destroyed any of my delicate items that I wash. I have had no problems with it leaking or anything else going wrong.While it is a simple design, I think that the simple color fits quite well in my laundry room. It is a good looking washer, and the display is easy to read. I would say that this washer is an excellent value. It does a great job which means I dont find myself rewashing certain items. It seems to be very energy efficient which really helps out in the long run. It was definitely worth paying more for this washer than trying to save a few dollars getting a discount washer. I certainly feel like I have gotten my moneys worth.

This is a nice washer. Works well, uses less water and it gets all my clothes clean. Different settings to use, including a short wash. Saves electricity. This washer is really easy to use. Have had it for a while and never had any problems with it. Can not complain about anything. It fits a whole queen bed set, including comforter, sheets and pillow cases. Does a great job cleaning clothes even when loaded fully. Towels are usually heavy so I was worried filling the washer up all the way, but this washer can deal and clean everything. I wash hot. They come out very clean and are soft after drying. I do not need to use extra detergent, just the recommended amount of liquid, or pods. It does look nice. If dust gets on there I can easily wipe it clean with a damp cloths. Color is white but not really bright. Love the front load. I ordered this item online and used a coupon code and a rebate site, so I received a discount on it. I did not overpay and I am happy I got such a good deal on this washer.

Kenmore Front-loading Automatic Washer Model #796.4127 - We purchased our washer about a yr and a half ago. Hate it on SO many levels. I thought it would be great for bedding and such but NOTHING comes clean. I can wash my husbands work shirts and after they are washed and dried I can still smell his cologne on the shirts. We live on the water and I lost my top loader in a hurricane which caused our basement to flood. I was overjoyed thinking I could finally buy a front loader and that it would be so much better. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and know then what I know now because I would have bought another top loader for sure. You just cant get clothes clean without an agitator! And the SMELL!!! OMG it is HORRIBLE! It has this little drain tube you have to drain every couple of weeks, you cant leave the door closed or the smell is disgusting, but then you worry about the rubber seal drying out. I hate this washer on so many levels it isnt funny. Would NOT recommend it even to my worst enemy. Laundry is enough of a chore without having to wait almost 2 hours to wash a load on the heavy setting but if you dont set it to that, nothing comes clean. Heck even on the heavy setting, it still comes out as stained as it went in. I use a laundry pretreat and that helps a little but if you are thinking of buying this, change your mind and RUN!!!

It washes the clothes really well and is very quiet. However you cant add anything once it starts which can be inconvenient at times. I seem to always find a stray towel. The Kenmore washer is very durable. I have not had any problems with it performance wise since I bought it. Everything looks like it was made very solid and built to last. The Kenmore washer has a very modern and trendy look. I really like the glass front door. It is especially nice if your home is like mine and you dont have a traditional laundry room. It was a bit pricier than some of the other models I was looking at but overall for the features and look I think it was a very good deal.

I had used this washer for 10 or more years. Washing clothes was pretty good. However, my washer has broken down. Water coming out of the washer, so had to buy a new one. The washing machine lasted so many years for me. Reliability was good and I would recommend to my friends and family. As for energy efficiency, the noise level was okay and it wasnt that loud. I like it when the washing machine door can be opened in front and able to put lots of clothes in one to two spin. The appearance of the washing machine was pretty good. I like it when it is white instead of other color. When I brought the washing machine, the price was affordable. Right now, prices is not that expensive to afford, so the value is still good.

My washer is efficient, quick, quiet. It thoroughly washes and seems to save energy. The spin cycle is very effective. My Kenmore washing machine is extremely reliable so far. I have not had any problem with it as of yet. The appearance of my Kenmore washing machine is white. It has a clean and simple look, which I like very much. It is not gaudy or flashy. I think that my Kenmore washing machine is an excellent value for the money. It is a solid quality washer and was very reasonably priced when I bought it.

Washed my clothes thoroughly and got the clothes extremely clean left them with a very fresh smell. They kept their brightness and I saved money yearly. I had my washing machine over 5 years and counting. Its not broken down on me once nor have I had any issues with it. Its an energy saver & works great. Bulky but has a great outer design thats somewhat nice. It was a great price! Almost a steal. The price was so affordable along with the performance qualities I couldnt pass this up. I love it.

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.

I have a Kenmore Elite washer and the liquid bleach tub is getting rusted around the tub. When I called in for service, I was told that this was not covered under warranty, however, this seems to be a product defect. It will cost me a service call + additional charges for labor and parts. This is a product defect! Simple as that! I guess Kenmore does not stand by their product?

We purchased a Kenmore series 300 washing machine in September 2015. It was our first Kenmore we have ever purchased in over 55 years. The machine is terrible. The tub design causes the machine to vibrate severely even with medium loads. It doesnt clean the clothes very good and my wife has to run clothes through the rinse cycle at least twice and even then there is soak in the clothes. We would definitely not recommend Kenmore to anyone, especially this machine.
