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

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.

This machine was bought from Sears years ago and still going strong, replaced the heating coil, but other than.. that it still runs well. I have had it over 10 years, best purchase ever, always have stuck with Kenmore, well made washing machine.

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

My washer tears small holes in my clothes. They dont appear to get caught or wrapped on anything so I dont know why it is happening. It doesnt happen all the time and I have only been able to find one other complaint on the internet like mine.

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

I have a three-year-old Kenmore Samsung Top Load washer that I bought from Sears. Six months ago it started making grinding noises. I called in a repairman only to find out that they do not repair these as they are on a recall. I went through their recall process and it has been ongoing since February 15, 2017. I was assigned a repair company and given a phone number. I called them and was told that they do not service my location. I contacted Samsung again and they gave me a new repair company after a number of calls and weeks transpired. The new company also did not service my location. In the meantime my washer is getting louder and washing less effectively. I gave Samsung the appliance service that Sears uses and the phone number to contact. I phone this service myself and he indicated that he does the recall repairs for Samsung on these washers. For the last two months I have been contacting Samsung to get them to assign my washer to this service center that they use and it is still not assigned! I have sold my house and must be out in 5 days so I had to buy a new washer and thought I would get the rebate. After reviewing the rebate process, I decided that this company can keep the minute $275 offered. I will never purchase a Samsung anything as long as I can help it. They did not contact me once during the whole process. I had to keep phoning to get updates and new information. The rebate does not compensate enough as it is only 1/3 of a new washer. I thought Kenmore was a great product and had no idea that it was made by Samsung until I started having problems. I guess the days of having a washer for 20 plus years are gone and consumers have to put up with second rate crap that is very expensive and ends up filling up the countrys garbage dumps.

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.

I really like both of the machines. I feel like they do a good job washing and drying. Never had to reload clothes because they were not done properly. Also never experienced any breakage with clothes.

It was on sale for an amazing price. Ive had it for a few years now still works the same after a few years. Its very easy to clean. I can do a whole weeks worth of my clothes in it. It looks amazing in my laundry room. It is stainless steel. I would definitely recommend it. I love stainless steel because it looks elegant.

My Kenmore has ran flawlessly for 10 years. Washes clothes clean each and every time. Little or no noises, or rocking. Has multiple setting for all types of clothes, including easy and delicate clothes.

My machine was purchased 02-02-2011. Bleach dispenser rusted and entire top needs to be replace. No matter what size load, UE unbalanced, stops process. Takes hours to get a load of wash done. All issues KENMORE and Sears are aware of yet nothing done. Newest and clincher... transmission ends to be replaced at my expense for the tune of $602.25. Horrible. I think paid close to that for this machine.

Kenmore is a very good washing machine. It has demonstrated a great work and has an spectacular performance, conserves the water and is very ecological, handles very well the washing time as well as its internal performance.

Very easy to use. Cleaned clothes really good. Never had any problems with it. Would recommend it to friends and family. Had for different types of clothing and water temperature.

Im among the hundreds of thousands of owners that have experienced the poor design these machines have. (Google F35 error and youll see listings for several youtube videos which have thousands of views explaining the problem with these washers). There is a pressure sensor that is notorious for generating bad pressure reading and generating the dreaded SUDS and F35 error codes requiring frequent replacement of this $150 sensor. Poor engineering, or perhaps a scheme to generate recurring part sales. I will NEVER again buy a Kenmore product.

Cleans well with all types of cycles and clothing. There is a regular, delicate, permanent press cycle. There are also different size loads such as small, med, large, and super large. Works well at all times. The cycles, water level, all the different settings are very dependable. They work accurately and effectively. It is an older model but has the basic dials and settings. It is white in color which is fine with me as I keep in the garage so no one really sees it. This is not an expensive model so that I feel it is a great value. It is basic in washers without a whole lot of fancy cycles and dials.

Good appliance, easy to manage and very fast. Made me like doing my laundry, especially because Im a student and I really needed a good washing machine to get away from having to use laundromat. If youre thinking about buying one, just do it, it works! Very reliable, never had a problem with this machine. Super great washer, definitely one you can count on. As a college student I could not ask for a better washing machine when I come home to do my laundry.

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

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

Works good to clean clothes fast for the man on the go like myself and that is what counts the most. Particularly I can indeed fit all of my needed items and have a small space left over most of the time. Sometimes I cant have all the space I need for super large loads but most my loads to all fit in one load. Description of appearance white in color. Do not care about how it looks much though its simple quick and it gets the job done bottom line. Works great. Top dime for the dollar if you choose this brand. You dont holler for more. Top of the line. Made strong to last you long. Keeps going. Dont follow.

Water level too low, doesnt cover clothes. I wash everything on Bulky/Bedding and that seems to help get clothes cleaner. Months back a sheet wrapped itself around the agitator and it snapped right off. Called Sears and was told they dont have anyone in our area, Sears transferred the call to another company who said they dont have anyone either and I should call Sears. Needless to say, its still not fixed.

I purchased my Kenmore Heavy-Duty washer and dryer set the next week available after I got married in Feb 1976 (seventy-six). That makes it about mid-March 1976. Here now in Jan 2020 I can truthfully say that I never had one speck of trouble from the set until now when the washer stopped draining. Having a Sears repairman respond to fix the problem revealed that it cannot be repaired. I must now try to find another Kenmore Washer. Admittedly, I did not use it on any routine regularity and once not used at all when in an apartment without a hookup for a couple years. But, I suspect I won't need it to last as many as 44 more years since I'm now 73 years old. It worked just great for me!

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

The performance is very good and satisfying and meets my daily needs. It helps clean our clothes without any damage or tear. Its an useful piece of furniture for me and my whole family. I can rely on it to really clean my clothes without damage to it. It doesnt break easily or leak at all like my old ones. I count on it to do its job while being quiet washing. The way it is built is very professional like and not poorly built. Its easy to find buttons and get used to while cleaning clothes. I really love how it matches my decor since its white. The value is very nice. Its not too cheap or too expensive. Its just right for my liking and my familys liking. Also my husband likes using it a lot. It gets the job done. Very worth its money.

We bought a Kenmore Elite washer on February 17, 2011. It was delivered in March. I was very confident in Sears quality. We were surprised when four months later, the machine began making noise and vibrating badly during the spin cycle. We called Sears repair (machine is warranted). They said that a repair tech would be dispatched (for a new machine). The tech came out. The tech determined that a clutch was needed. He ordered the part to be delivered to our home. Two weeks later, the part came. We called and another tech was dispatched week later. The tech installed the part, but the machine continued the noise and vibration. The tech explained that the repair was the best he could do. A second appointment was scheduled. The tech did not show. I made three calls to finally be told that the tech was called off the route. What happened to the Sears we knew? If they sold a lemon (sometimes it happens), especially a $1,400.00 lemon, they would not hesitate to replace it to make the customers money and business count. Now it appears that Sears expects its customers to endure whatever inferior service they receive. Is this a proper way to treat customers?

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

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.

It is quiet and cleans very well. I like the size and load ability. I think for a no frills washer this is the best choice as it works well and serves the purpose quite well. Ive never had any problems with mine. It has been very dependable the entire time I have owned mine. Im not disappointed in it. Id recommend it. It has a classic look that fits well with anything. It isnt fancy yet looks very nice. I dont care much about looks. Id rather have a washer clean well. I thought it was a little high priced for being a plain jane washer but in the end I am very happy with it and very glad I bought it. Its worth what you pay for it.

I bought this washer in 2005 at a Sears outlet store. Now keep in mind I live alone so I dont do a lot of laundry, much below the average family, yet here I am 10 years later and somehow this thing is now not cycling through a wash load. Way to go Kenmore -- 10 years, thats it. Now I got to pay for a repair or buy ANOTHER one. Before I had this wash I had an old Kenmore washer that was 25 YEARS OLD and not one issue. I can tell you this, never again will I buy your crap. This is disgraceful and you can bet I will also pass my displeasure with Kenmore on social media every chance I get.

Kenmore 600 series washer - The images here depict a small load in normal cycle. The clothes didn’t get cleaned and that is because they just sit in a small puddle of water. The ad for this washer claims it can wash 21 towels?? Try four. We have to wash loads more than once and quilts are washed three times. The deep fill option is a joke. The worst part is that you end up wasting so much water it’s ridiculous. Kenmore wont do anything about it. They offer a service repair. We have been taking pictures of different cycles and the end results. We have a big family and It infuriates me that we have to go to a laundromat to wash our clothes when we have a brand new washer at home.

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

My washer is a little bit older now. It had a good run, was good while it lasted, got all of my stuff clean and had plenty of different setting options. It is on its way out, any load may be its last. I wish it would have lasted a little bit longer, but maybe 5 years is all you can expect out of washer machine??

It has done a lot of washes some overload but keeps on ticking, whilst doing a pretty good job of getting all the clothes clean. We have had this last machine for ten years, or more so we have no complaints. Yes we would buy another new one when the time comes, depending on the deals a sizable at the time.

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

Machine was delivered by Sears in 1990 and has sat patiently, and diligently cleaning my clothes, without any maintenance or repairs since that time. That would be 28 years. Every single feature works as well as the day it was delivered.

It never failed us and it did exactly what it was designed to do. It was a very good washer and I never found anything to complain about it. Great reliability, nothing on it ever faltered in its duties as a washer. The only thing that ever happened with one of the water hoses valves started leaking, but that was probably just because I had bought it used so that was on me/previous owner. The appearance was simple and fit well into my washroom. Sleek, simple, easy to follow with your eyes. Goes great with a more modern design washroom. As with anything nowadays things cost a fair bit more than they use to. That being said, though, for the price of a new one with a reasonable lay-a-way plan or something similar for the households that have lower incomes, its a pretty good deal in my view.

We purchased the washer in July 2013. We did not put the washer in the new home until Oct. of 2013. It has had approximately 20 loads of laundry done in it. It senses, takes on water, agitates, drains and then it tries to spin but does not, just runs. I have to move the selector to drain and spin to get it to spin. I contacted Sears and Kenmore. They said we are responsible for repair even though the washer has had very little use.

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

Kenmore front load washer mcl 417-42042100 - This washer is less than 10 years old and I have had to replace the rear tub section twice because the bearing and seal went out. A $177 part just because a $8 bearing and seal went out, the bearing is not sold separately. The last time I replaced this part, the rear tube section, was about 3 months ago. A short time after I put the new rear tube section along with new shock absorbers it started making loud noises (banging) and vibrating very bad. When I took it apart I discovered that two of the legs of the drum support assembly had broken which also caused the front tub to be broken. The drum support assembly is not listed separately on the parts sheet. It is part of the drum cost $313 and the front tub section is $171. The rear section is about $177 and I have replaced it twice and the shock absorbers once at $57. So the scrap man got the washer and I got a new one, this time a top load. I wouldnt buy a front load washer again. As best I can tell they are all of similar design. Kenmore doesnt make anything. They have someone else make them and put the Kenmore logo on them. Not sure but this washer might be made by Samsung for Kenmore. I would not recommend buying this washer or any front load washer.

Belt broke after years of use. Cheap part. Easy to use. Smells if not cleaned right. Good performance overall. Extremely heavy. Took 3 men and a dolly to move. I can wash a full size blanket easily in this washer. Several soaps to pick from. Must be HE compatible. Has a timer. Comes in handy. Had this a few years and the only issues were the belt broke and its heavy to move. Has a compact storage shelf on the bottom. Mine is white and silver. Easy to clean surface. Quiet. Was a rent to own purchase for our family. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

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.

I am a senior citizen and limited in my mobility. I am totally disappointed and frustrated with the Kenmore Elite which I purchased in December 2013. The 3 P.C. Boards Ive been told are not working thus resulting in the machine not working. Ive been told by the technician the repair would cost almost as much as I paid for the washing machine. I thought Kenmores were reliable. I purchased this with my Sears card.

High efficiency top load washer - Absolute garbage. The most stupid and frustrating purchase of my life. Done with Kenmore!!! Kenmore should fire their engineers and go back to the drawing board. My clothes come out more dirty than when I put them in.

The Kenmore Washer Elite Oasis works fine till the ending number 6 rinse. Last couple of years, the problems are way too many with the machine. It cost good money. Please help me!

The performance is great, not a single problem with it. Everyone should buy this washer. Kenmore washers are amazing. Its reliability is great. Its just perfect. Not a single problem with it. I’m happy with it, so is my mom and soon to be wife loves it too. I love the front loading white washers. They are really dependable and work fine. Beyond that I think that the sound is incredibly quiet and efficient. Id say that it is a very good piece of technology. It is a highly valuable item and I was very happy when I was able to purchase it at a great price!

Clothes are cleaner. They take less time. They use less detergent than other washing machines. I actually look forward to washing clothes now. 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. They do cost a bit more than others but for the quality of the washer it is well worth the price. I didnt mind paying a little extra once seen how it performs.

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

The Kenmore washer makes evenly wash with spin clothes come out clean. I recommend this washer to all. It is the best on the market, well worth the price you pay last for years. Its warranty is for years and its reliability is the best on the market. I recommend this washer for those who wash clothes every day use. Its durable. The design of its appearance is different from any other washer compatible and I love the way it looks. Love this washing machine. Its worth the cost. Money back guaranteed if you think it is not the best. Love the shape, design, the compatibility, how it works with small medium large loads of clothes. I recommend to all who wash clothes.

I have had this washer for over 10 years and have never had a problem with it. I would buy this brand again and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a washer. The washer fits all my needs. I like that you can pick the size of the load of clothes that you are going to wash and they always come out clean. This washer looks very nice but it is a plain white. I wish that the Kenmore washer like this brand came in colors like the more expensive ones. This washer was well worth what I paid for it and if it broke down tomorrow it would not owe me a cent.

I feel as though it is a good washing machine. My clothes come out of it fresh and clean. And the washing machine it easy to keep clean, thats good. It seems to be very reliable. I can wash a lot of my clothes at one time. In a shorter amount of time. And it does not make a lot of noise. It has a very nice look to it. It looks new and very professional. It is just the right size. Not too big not too small. Just the size desired. It is a very worthful piece of equipment. I did not have to pay a really large amount when I purchased it. And it gets everything that I want done.

This washer works well because it has many adjustable settings so that you can choose the wash cycle that would be best for your load of laundry. The drum can hold a large load of clothing, so that way you dont have to do many loads, but can do one large load. Its very reliable. Ive had this washer for 8 years and its still going strong. It has yet to give me any sort of trouble. It is durable, and long-lasting. The appearance of this washer is good. Its very clean and simple looking, and easy to understand. The layout of the knobs and dials are well laid out so that anyone would be able to understand how to start a load of laundry. This is a valuable piece of machinery. Not only is it affordable, but it is well worth the price. It is sturdy and reliable, and can wash a heap-load of laundry.

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

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.

Both worked very well for the first few years but the washer had problems toward the end in getting drained all the way. Had to replace some parts. Units worked good til the end and then they became so unreliable and slow that we ended up replacing them both and are happier now. Dont know why or how but they went bad. Appearance was fine. Dont expect that there is a whole lot of room there to change color and style is changing every day so stay informed and Im so sure you got it. Never got my moneys worth out of any washer. Dryers usually last but these seemed to run faster, harder and wear out quickly. I dont think I will buy again.

I purchased the Kenmore Washer 100 series 4 month ago and I simply hate it. It has a supposed sensor for the water level and this is useless. It works for a very small load but even when the washer is only half full it does not add enough water. Yesterday I washed a bed spread that filled the washer about 3/4 and only the bottom of the spread was covered in water. I had to add 3 buckets of water to submerge the spread. Then when it rinses the lid locks therefore no chance to add water. Why should I be adding water anyway? In the past I have always bought Kenmore appliances. I will no longer.

I wasnt pleased with new front loader. After writing complaints Sears came through and I now can say they stand by their products. Thank you!

I have just spent over 4 hours trying to wash bedding. A new record. I have been told by customer service that I must choose the correct setting for my laundry, cant just use normal. OK, then I am washing bedding, so I choose bedding. I was washing 2 twin sheets and a twin quilt. For some reason, my washer likes to fill with water, spin a little, drain, spin, then fill with water again. For over 4 hours, until I wrung the bedding out and removed it, dripping from the washer. Sometimes the washer is fine, takes a long time compared to other washers I have had, but I can have a load completed in a little over an hour. But other times, it goes into this fill, drain, spin thing for quite some time. The repairman who came out the last time I called told me to unplug the washer and plug it in again, it gets confused sometimes. He couldnt find anything wrong with the washer. So is this normal? Is this the way of washers these days? Sometimes I can do a couple of loads in an evening, sometimes not. Do I choose the wrong settings? Is bedding heavy duty and not really bedding? Or is it the brand?

Please, DO NOT buy this washer no matter how cheap in price you find it. It continues to add minutes to the wash where it takes 1 1/2-2 1/2 hours PER wash. Clothes comes out with white streaks that look like powder detergent is stuck on them when I use only liquid detergent. Water saver means not enough water to cover the clothes. The deep fill option is only available at some settings as for bulk loads. Even using this setting some clothes come out dry. I will never purchase a machine water saver or without an agitator because the clothes don’t circulate. This is a piece of 800.00 junk. I would love to throw it out and buy a simple washer that works faster and gets clothes clean. Please, do not buy it or you too will be writing a negative review and be angry at yourself for thinking those other negative reviews were maybe customers not using the machine properly and maybe adding too much detergent. When in reality the machine is a piece of crap.

I have owned my front loader for 18 years and it’s still running strong, I have never had an issue with it and will definitely buy this brand again. It is very user friendly and I can only imagine how the new models are.

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.

Shortly after the one year warranty expired on our Kenmore 400 Washer (Model:29422801), it began tearing holes in items. The washer seems to enjoy eating jeans, boxer shorts, shirts, my wifes bras, and our blankets. After 14 months, the washer no longer functions as it was described. I tried to reach out to the manufacturer but to no avail.

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.

Its very efficient and dries all clothes and towels very well. I dont have to restart it for a full load to dry all the way. Works very well. We purchased it a while ago and its still working very well. Easy to install and it for well in our area downstairs to wash the clothes and towels and blankets. Matches our washer as all appliances we currently have are white. Its not big so theres lots of extra room around our laundry area. Love the size. We spent below expected budget and got a great machine for the value. It fits large loads including more than one blanket to put in at a time.

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

It was a bit loud but nothing closing the door couldnt handle. I felt it was worth what I paid for it. This was a good device. I didnt have much trouble with it while it was in the house. It did a good job cleaning and needed little maintenance or repair work. I liked it although its a washer. Theyre only going to look so good so youre only going to care so much about it. I cant say I got it for appearances so it didnt really matter to me much on what it looked like. I would say this product was of good value to me for my needs. It lasted me well for a good few years and I found servicing was not frequent. I replaced it recently because I was redoing the kitchen.

This washer consistently performed as expected or above expectations. Clothing always came out smelling clean and feeling fresh when used according to manufacturers standards. Multiple settings made it easy to switch between sheets and blankets to a delicate setting or a normal load. When laundry was done according to a normal schedule, clothing needed to be washed would fit all items needed. Overloading could lead to clothing not feeling as clean or fresh as they should be. Definitely be aware of not overloading. Match setting of washer to type and/or amount that you are loading to best meet the needs of your expectations for the clothing. Sleek appearance. Average fit in laundry room- did not in anyway feel larger or more bulky than any other washer used in the past. Set up made easy to load and remove clothing and other articles. The value of this product is definitely there. Great, reliable brand and household name for years. Compared to other brands, matches or exceeds in the value to get when you purchase this product.

I have this Kenmore 500 Series washing machine. I wash tons of clothes all the time. Ive even switch to washing small loads. My clothes are never clean. They come out, they smell bad, the towels stink all the time because they cant agitate and wash. The water just runs through them and comes back out. It doesnt move the clothes and no theres nothing wrong with my washing machine. Its not broken. It just sucks. Dont buy this product. I think you guys should recall these washing machines.

The washer works well and is of good quality. It gets clothes clean and is very reliable. It is a good value and I would purchase one again. The washer worked well with few clothes or many clothes. It agitates well. The washers appearance is great. It matches well with my laundry room and has features that are technologically updated. It is a good washer and would work well anywhere. The price is reasonable for the quality of product. It is reliable and dependable for any laundry need. I would not hesitate to buy one again.

Kenmore is a great appliance company. I would buy any of their name brand products. I wash clothes every week. I normally do about 8 loads of laundry. I wash and dry in a Kenmore. It is quick, efficient, not loud, and gets the job done.

Cleans quite well and quiet. Price was on sale for a very good price and delivered for free. Would rate very high on cleaning ability. Sears installed for a small fee. If loaded properly will hold enough place setting for an average sized family and any pot and pans you would want to load. Loads quickly and easy. Sleek appearance with all the controls easily marked for easy operation and a quiet performance. Would highly say positive comments about this model. Was on sale for under 500 dollars which is a real bargain for quality built product that will last a lot of years with frequent use and caring for the unit. Great value and a nice addition to the kitchen!

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

I love that I can fit so much in one load. The quick wash cleans my clothes as well as the other settings in half the time and its quiet! This washer has been through accidental shoes, keys, over fills, and its fare share of loose change but its never lost a sock. Never had any issues with it. Always worked well so I cant complain. I wash heavy blankets, winter coats, rugs and heavy loads of jeans... They always come out very clean. Its a washer... Its cube like, mostly white, shiny too! I perceive this washer to be of high value.

The washers performance I would have to say is one of the best that I have seen before. Presoaks pre-rinse, the cycles lasts long enough that I know without a doubt everything is getting good and agitated and that my clothes are definitely coming out clean. Plus this washer also has a self cleaning cycle so that I dont have to figure out how to clean it myself, it does it for me. Plus there is gentle cycle, permanent cycle, heavily soiled, small, medium, large and oversized weights for whatever size you are loading into the machine. Since no pur based the machine 2 to 3 three years ago I have yet to have a single issue with it. No matter how much has been shoved into its never gotten off balance, never slung the laundry all to one side. It has kept it evenly distributed through the inside of the tub itself. And though it is self cleaning none not once has a single line that is attached to the machine has never gotten clogged up. I like the fact that its white, can be a hassle to keep cleaned but if properly taken care of very pretty. And will remain that way if properly maintained. But my favorite feature is that it has a clear glass, self locking lid that can be seen through. So instead of wondering if its actually doing what its supposed to do like with the older ones with a solid a lid you can just look down into and seen that it is working just fine.

This washer cleans clothes very effectively, and the cycles take a reasonable time. Best results with stain remover, though. It doesnt have as many settings and options as more deluxe washers, but who needs them? While I wish I had sprung for a larger model, this washer always did the trick. It hasnt broken on me yet, and clothes have always come out clean in the first try. They are not too wet when the cycle ends, either. Simple, white, top-loading design. Clear and simple controls. Not fancy-looking or stylish. No viewing window in the front/door. I was content with its appearance. Uses a reasonable amount of water, so it wont jack up your water bill. All in all, a great value.

Do not purchase this Kenmore Elite washer. The washer constantly stops due to uneven loads. Customer service is worse than the washer. Saw several reviews where its obviously a problem and have even had recalls on several models, but more concerned about selling home warranty than fixing the problem. Dryer is great though.

I used the washer for many years. It functioned well and I typically washed about three loads a day. It was easy to use and my favorite part is that it held heavy duty large loads well and had no problems.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite HE4T front load washer in the Fall of 2005. For the first three years, the Sears service tech repaired the code problem by replacing door lock twice. They replaced the computer once. After expiration of warranty, I had the same problem (F11 door lock failure) and had the service tech replace 2 door locks and 2 computers - on my dime. Just this week, I have the same code problem. I found out if I turned off the washer and waited one hour and restarted the wash, it worked as advertised. I am angry that I cannot receive any help from Kenmore or Sears without paying for service. Kenmore should be responsible in repairing this chronic problem.

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

Bought washer (110 28002011) $650.00 December 2011. Tub bearings went out. Cost of repair more than price of new washer. No adjustment offered, since I did not buy a maintenance agreement. I have had nothing but Kenmore Appliances made by Whirlpool for 47 years my first bad experience. I did return to Sears and bought new Kenmore made by Whirlpool, the plain jane this time. I do not want another bearing balancing tub washer as I understand there is a recall on some units because of the failure rate, but not this one. Why Kenmore again, because I trained Searss salesman to sell appliances for 36 years, and cannot change, tried to make myself go to Lowes, just could not---what loyalty. But I am still highly dissatisfied.

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

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

I am very happy with my Kenmore washer. The top loader is an important feature in a washer, because the clothes get much cleaner with the use of an agitator. I have never had any issues (knock on wood) with my Kenmore washer. The clothing is always clean the first time through, and never any issues with the water levels. This is not the fanciest, or prettiest of washing machines... But what do you expect. It is one of the more basic models, and is very simple looking. That being said, the lack of extra knobs makes it very easy to clean. The Kenmore washer was the cheapest washer we looked at. We almost didnt get it for that reason alone. But it works great, and friends who have more expensive one have had to replace theirs and we havent. More money doesnt mean a better product.

My Kenmore top load washer 500 series is junk. Been dealing with this piece of crap for three years. My problem washer goes into spin mode and makes a load boom bounces hard shakes and stops spin. Very scary. Had two service tech out change the computer board and one changes the tub ring. Still having the same problem. Dont want to use it anymore because I fear its going to break my floor tiles when in spin mode. It shakes and bounces so hard. Its a piece of crap. Going to call the service department once again if they dont fix it they find in their showroom dont buy this washer. Its crap.

The washer was very nice while it lasted. But then once it stopped working it was past the fixing it point. I dont think I would recommend it after all is said and done. Dissatisfied with the reliability. It was a very pretty washer. It was nice and sleek and clean looking inside and out. Very satisfied with the appearance of all things. Looked great with other appliances in my home. I am a little dissatisfied because the washer didnt last long. It stopped working and would have cost an arm and a leg to fix. Was not worth the money I spent on it.

Cleans clothes effectively. Has enough settings to get the job done and is a reliable machine. Clothes come out smelling wonderful and nothing has ever been ruined while going through the wash. Would recommend! I only had one problem with this machine in the time that I had it and it was easily fixable. It is a very reliable machine and does the job effectively. I have never had any regrets from buying it. There are more attractive models on the market but this is not unattractive by any means. It is simple in appearance and blends in well with any laundry room theme. I am happy with the value of this machine and the price I paid for it. I have gotten my moneys worth and it has performed well throughout the time I have had it.

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.

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

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.

I have been using Kenmore products for 35+ years. I bought my last Kenmore 500 clothes washer about 3 years ago. I am disappointed that the gentle wash merely beats the heck out of the clothes for a couple of minutes, then stops for a minute, then thrashes them some more. My old Kenmore would agitate nice and slow, almost like a hand wash.

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

I used my Washer reliably for many years. It always got my clothes, sheets, and towels clean nicely. It held a good sized load, including king sized winter blankets. It cleaned our laundry quickly and efficiently. Minimal noise when running. Its aesthetically pleasing, very neat, clean white, fits nicely in its chosen space. The dials were easily readable even for young children. It was a very valued member of my home. It continued to wash our clothes reliably for twenty years, even through daily use of four to five loads per day.

Great! Worked great. Wonderful performance. Not loud or squeaky. Efficient in power and utility. Would like to own another set. Keeps up with my heavy laundry use. Long lasting impression of greatness. Highly recommend to others. Holds up well through multiple washes and drying. Cost is very much worth it for the great sturdiness.

It was big, and fit what I would call huge loads. It had a super fast cycle system unlike a lot of others that take for what seems like forever and my clothes came out more clean than with my previous ones. It would fit more than what I needed into it. When I would do a load of laundry it would actually be 2 normal loads, my normal loads. And to my surprise they came out more clean than I would have expected them too. I am in love with them. They arent the newest looking with the clear lid or anything but it definitely gets the job done. Laundry is laundry. As long as the equipment does its job appearance shouldnt matter. Its well worth it in all truthfulness. I would buy it a thousand times over before Id go invest in one of the fancy ones. These are exactly what I needed.

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.

Use for 2 loads 3 times a week. Never breaks down. Always works clothes. Come out clean. Whites are white. Dark clothes clean. No soap buildup. Not a lot of noise – a quiet machine. Have experienced no problems. Works perfect first and last use. Would recommend to family and friends to purchase. Not very flashy but the controls are easy to understand and use. Fits in nicely with my basement laundry area. White and clean. Compact – does not take up a lot of space. Small but efficient. Great value for the price. Reliable. Hard working. Easy to operate. Best washer I have owned as of this time.

The washer is great for heavy loads. It performs well with large loads and cleans well with all types of cycles. I especially like the way the washer washes in cold water. It gets all my clothes clean the first time. I have never had a problem with reliability. The washer has never given me any problems. It cleans well, has never broken down and I have never had to replace any parts or call a repairman for any type of service for the machine. I love the features of the machine. It has all the cycles you would need - regular, delicates, heavy loads and the machine does a wonderful job on all cycles. I have never had problems getting my clothes cleaned. The price is well worth it for this washing machine.. I have compared it to whirlpool and Maytag which I have had in the past and it works just as well as whirlpool and Maytag and it cost a lot less.

They have been reliable and have always got the job done. I have never had any problems with them or had to get them repaired and my clothes always come out clean and smelling fresh.

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.

Ill try to be as fair as I can without cursing. I really, really HATE my Kenmore high efficiency washing machine. It takes literally hours if not the whole day to wash a single load. And when the cycle complete light says its done and I open the lid, Im usually looking at a load that has not spun and is soaking wet. Ive tried every setting and Im constantly having to come back to the machine to check if its going o.k. I thought by purchasing this machine I would save on water but instead, I end up rewashing loads and wasting time. Its a nightmare. Its a fairly new machine and Im already considering taking it to the dump and buying a new one. I wouldnt want to donate it. Nobody deserves a machine like this. Ive had family members ask me how I like my machine because they needed a new one. I told them not to buy the high efficiency ones. I told them the truth. I HATE IT! I will never ever buy another one like this or recommend it to anyone. It may even deter me from buying Kenmore products too.
