This is my first experience with the front loading washing machine and dryer, but its definitely not looking good for them. I just brought my girlfriends washer and dryer home from her kids place and the washing machine needed to be looked at. After going through everything it ended up being the piece on the back of the drum (The spider gear) That attaches it to the bearing had completely rotted off. The piece is made of a cast iron material attached to the chrome drum. I just wish I could post some pics here of the condition of this piece, it was brought home to replace the old stuff I have. Anyway that is my warning/rant. I would not recommend the Kenmore AST 2 to anyone.

My washer/dryer has always worked and never gave me any problems, always gets the job done. Ive had it for at least 8 years. They are very good quality and last a long time. I shouldnt even be needing a new washer/dryer for the next couple years, even though Id had mine for 8+ years.

Kenmore has a long-standing great reputation for appliances. I purchased my first Kenmore washer and dryer over 20 years ago and continue to stand by the brand today. The machines are easy to upkeep, and if one regularly maintains them, they will outlast any other machine out there. They are also easy to use, with no user-unfriendly parts or mechanisms. I love my Kenmores!

Easy to use and understand for my parents who dont speak English. The instructions that came with the appliances were super easy to use. The washer is very good and fast. We havent had issues with clothes shrinking in the dryer.

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!

Several years ago when we first purchased Kenmore devices they were reliable and the service was great. The past few years the devices have not been as good quality wise or service wise. The last dryer we purchased was just dumped off and not properly installed. We had to go back to the store and complain before the job was done correctly.

Its amazing and safe and it works very well. I recommend it 100% and would buy another one within 5 years of this one because they last a long time. Its very reliable, thats why i gave it a 5 star rating. I like the dryer because its quiet and makes my clothes feel warm and fresh. I love my Washer or Dryers appearance because its small but not bulky and it fits wherever I want to put it. Its white and doesnt get a lot of dirt on it. Buy this Washer or Dryer because its a great Washer or Dryer. Its amazing at what it does and I would never buy anything else besides this Washer or Dryer.

It dries really fast, just gets noisy when it goes really fast, but overall its one of the best dryers I have ever had - and had quite a few I went through. And so far has lasted. The dryers reliability has been great. And it has been through some rigorous daily grind. Its still like new. The clothes come out fresh, nice and hot right out of the dryer, and we have a very big family to test the reliability. The dryers appearance at first seem like it looks like the rest but when you look at the features, you will be amazed at the potential to never take your eyes off of it when you do your laundry. The perceived value I got was spectacular. With what you all get for the durability, stability of this dryer, you would pay more for a different name to get this all in one dryer you will ever need.

After 52 years of great performing Maytag sets, we decided to buy into the HE type washer. The $1400.00 combined price for the Kenmore Elite top-of-the-line set was an immediate disaster (Jan.1911). From day one, both the washer AND the dryer left clothes with a nasty odor. We wiped the washer dry, left washer and dryer doors open when finished, tried bleach, vinegar, baking soda, Tide and Affresh washing machine cleaners to no avail, for (3) years.Fortunately, we bought the extended warranty for the washer ONLY and after the first year, the clutch went out. Then we had the infamous recall to fix spinning problems which resulted in increasing an already unbearable cycle time. Service Calls could not help with the odor situation and we could no longer put up with barely washed and dried smelly laundry and pitched a brand new beautiful looking washer and dryer set out the door. Replaced with a wonderful Speed Queen, American-made set.

I have had them for 18 years and they are still working great. I have the Kenmore 70 series dryer and the Kenmore 80 series washer. I do several loads of laundry each week. I even soak football and baseball uniforms overnight and wash the next day. I have never had a leak. I have had the dryer serviced once and the washer once. I like that my washer is top load and it has a separate compartment for bleach, fabric softener and detergent. The dryer is easy to keep the lint trap cleaned out. I hope they never stop working because they do not make them last like mine.

I have an old model but it still work and does the job, it is still up to date modern, performs as it did the day I bought it. When I purchased it the products only came in white. I own washer and dryer top and bottom load and I own or purchased a freezer for the garage. Didnt need anything high fashion. Both product was purchase from Sears, a company that I have trusted for years.

I have always trusted Kenmore appliances. They last, durable and do their job! I will continue to purchase Kenmore appliances in the future. I currently own a washer and dryer and cant wait to own a home so that I can buy all new Kenmore appliances!

I was raised in a household of Kenmore appliances. So when I married and started setting up house, it was only natural to get Kenmore appliances. My first washer and dryer were Kenmore. When those quit working, after many years, I got another set of Kenmore washer and dryer. Again I was very happy with them. If they ever needed service, the Sears service people were very good. They made the repair quickly and efficiently. When I went to get my third set of appliances from Sears, I found that the prices had gone up terribly high. I could get the same machines in the Whirlpool brand for about 2/3 of the price. That is what I have now, Whirlpool. Same great product... but less expensive.

We purchased a complete set of SEARS ELITE Kenmore frontload washer & dryer, plus drawers that go under each machine & last thing was metal cap/shelf that goes on top/across machines to keep items from behind or between machine gap is great for folding station. This is a wonderful set. It has all the bells & whistles I could ask for on both washer/dryer. Washer has a huge stainless steel drum that is great for doing large or very small loads. It save water & detergent. Dryer has capability of doing those large load or very small, it can do time set or automatic dryer. We use the TOUCH UP option when we miss taking a completed load out of dryer immediately & fold or hang. This complete system is wonderful. We have had this set since 2008 with no problem. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone.

Washer and dryer work perfectly. Had them for years with no problems. We only buy Kenmore appliances. We have had some of our appliances for decades. Washer and dryer is always reliable. Clothes are clean and fresh. Towels are always fresh and soft. Kenmore has the best appliances. The appearance of the Kenmore appliances work well in any home. My Kenmore dryer is so old that it is the old avocado green from the seventies. Value just goes with the Kenmore brand. Not cheap. Very good quality for what you pay.

It is extremely efficient and holds up a lot better than most smart washers and dryers. I have never had a single bad issue with it and it takes a very short time to dry my clothing. Almost twice as fast as our old dryer. It is quite large and fits all of my clothing in it at one time. I love my dryer. I would say if I was ever in the market for another appliance I would look to this brand first. Its a front load dryer with a see through door and it has a steel drum. You can watch your clothing dry right in front of your eyes. It makes washing and drying your clothes easy. It wasnt the cheapest model that I could find, but that doesnt bother me because sometimes you have to pay a little extra to get a very good value. I dont regret this purchase. I got my moneys worth and more.

I have had the same wash dryer for almost 10 years, they both still work great! I also grew up using the same name of appliances. The Kenmore products have always been used in my home. And I would recommend Kenmore any day.

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

It is a really good washer. It really gets the stains out especially from white clothes and its very good with color clothes as well. It doesnt rip the clothes or damages them. It is really reliable. It hasnt broken down or anything. It keeps the clothes looking like new. Its really good quality for a washer. I would recommend this brand and washer to people. It has a nice appearance. Since its white you might just have to clean it every once in a while so it doesnt get scratches or really dirty. The buttons are easy to control bits and outstanding appearance. The value of the washer is pretty good. I could just imagine the value of the dryer. I would really recommend the washer. It is really good with the clothes. Im hoping to have the dryer pretty soon as well.

Mold issues, smells like rotten eggs. Works great but still cant get that smell to go away, thats in the washer. Also had a pump go bad. The dryer seems to be doing great. Was in a class action lawsuit but think we lost. I hope they made these a lot better over the years. Mine was the first front loader out I think.

It worked fine. I didnt use it that often because I was a college student but it never broke and when I wash my clothes they came out wet and then I put them in the dryer and they dried. It was very reliable in that for the nine months I lived in the house that had one it never broke. I never had to call a repairman person. It didnt look ugly. I was very pleased with its value. It came with the house and the rent was low. It probably wasnt very expensive.

Dries clothes quickly, can dry large loads, has different settings for various types of fabric, aesthetically pleasing. I bought the washer also. Would highly recommend both appliances. I have had my machine for two years - use it twice a week at minimum - and have never needed to have it repaired. Fits large loads comfortably and dries quickly. We have even used it for heavy blankets and comforters with no problem. Very pretty! Does not look like your typical washer or dryer. My husband jokes that for what it cost him we should display it in the living room and watch it instead of the television. :) The set was a little pricey, but we make that up in lower electricity bills, having enough room to do large loads instead of two medium loads and there have been no repair calls needed.

Though it is a little loud, it is very powerful and does its job well. The only problem is how loud it gets and the shaking while in use. We have had it for years and have had minimal problems with it. Hopefully, it will remain problem free for years to come. Will most likely buy same brand again when it comes time to replace. It looks like an ordinary dryer which is fine since that is what it is. No one will confuse it for a refrigerator because obviously, it is a dryer. Keeps our clothes very clean. Does a quick and efficient job of drying our clothes. With all appliances were as efficient. Very few complaints.

I had a Kenmore washer and dryer that worked great. They washed and dried my clothes fast. They never left a stingy odor in the clothes. They were easy to use and they lasted a very long time. We are a family of 6 so there is always clothes to wash. We wash every other day. There is uniforms and regular clothes, my husbands worked clothes and every time we washed we had the same great results - clean clothes with a fresh scent. This brand is innovative, smart, energy efficient. Its a brand that I have recommended to my family and they got it and liked it also.

I love this dryer and all the different settings it has. I have had it for about a year and I am completely satisfied with its performance. Whether I am drying heavy duty clothing such as jeans or sweatshirts, the performance is right on. Lightweight items such as delicate blouse also get the same treatment. I love the appearance of my Kenmore dryer. It is piggy backed with a front loading Kenmore washing machine and they make an impressive looking team. You cannot beat the prices of Kenmore products. The value is incredibly good as they are hard working and durable appliances. I would definitely recommend this product.

The washer cycles are fast and very efficient and it is very easy to learn and use. Also the capacity is very large so can do larger loads and get laundry done in a more timely manner. Never had a problem with the washer or its components. And it always got the laundry done in a timely manner while still making all the clothing clean and fresh. Very appealing and fit nicely next to the dryer. Didnt take up to much room in the area we had them set up and got a lot of compliments on how they looked. Very good value for the washer. 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.

My washer and dryer is Kenmore brands. Model is 20222 and 60222. They are very old and still work for me. Since have them it never made problem to me. I wanted to get a new model Kenmore. I love this brand and would recommend it to my friends. It is very good value for me to have Kenmore. This brand is reputation for long time and good quality, durable.

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

This thing moans and groans. Washes really slow and takes your laundry hostage for quite some time, set it on hot and cold water comes out???? The dryer has flashing lights that dont mean a thing???? Kenmore has no customer service you can talk to???? Basically INFERIOR JUNK.

Kenmore 4.3 cu. ft. Top Load Washer w/ Exclusive Triple Action Impeller - White... I bought this because of the ratings from others. This was my first experience with an HE washer and I was hesitant but since I could not find a reliable/well rated old fashioned washer like I wanted, I took the plunge and I was EXTREMELY glad I did! Kenmore 65132 7.0 cu. ft. Electric Dryer w/ SmartDry Plus Technology White. I bought this because it was the match to the washer. The clothes really come out so much cleaner and although this is not a super capacity washer compared to other models I was able to wash a king size comforter (yippee) however I cannot say the same for the dryer. It did fit in but there was not much room for tumbling so I had to stop and reposition it myself several times to ensure complete drying. Note to self-> in the future dont buy the matched pair especially since there was no cost savings in doing so. Other than that it dries fine. I dont need a lot of bells and whistles so I looked for a basic washer. Good ratings are paramount if I dont have a relatives or friends recommendation; and of course I always want to find it on sale with free delivery. Having repair issues are always a red flag but especially since our set-up is on the second floor I avoided any models w/ reviews that had a mention of leak issues. This is a basic full size washer with a lot of different settings to choose from if needed (Normal; Delicates; Bulky/Bedding; Whites; Heavy Duty; Casual; DeepWash; Express; Soak). The dryer has the usual basic cycles. It has a end of cycle buzzer that can be switched to off if so desired. There is an inside light. The door opens down (instead of to the side) which is nice to catch what is being taken out. The washer/dryer pair ran about $947.00 after discounts.

I purchased this $2300 refrigerator in 2011. It has had one repair already and is scheduled for another repair this month. During this repair, the man stated the dryer unit failed. He repaired that and then stated that the computer board may need to be replaced as well; he did not do that, as it reset. Well, that was wrong as the freezer continued to not be as cold as it should. We go out of town for 2 weeks and the entire unit lost its cooling power. Get this... The temperature rose to 80 in the inner cabinet as well as the freezer so I had to remove all food and try to clean out the smell.When I called for service, I was told the earliest they could come was 7, yes, 7 days later. Why would they take so long for such a vital part of a household? They are due here in 5 more days as we live with two ice chests and no items that need to be refrigerated. I am not sure what the outcome will be of this visit, but I am seriously considering junking it and buying something else. I can not trust it to work properly. With holidays around the corner, I dont want to lose more food. I am not at all happy with Sears products. I feel that they have just shifted to the cheapest versions possible to maintain the highest profit margins they can. If appliances are so poorly made and require continuous repairs, maybe they should get out of the appliance business.

My first purchase of a Kenmore Refrigerator was in 1998 when I purchased my new home. It lasted with no problems until December of 2012. I figured 14 years for 1,000 was worth it even though some say they last up to 20 years. Anyway, being satisfied, of course, I looked for another Kenmore to replace my old one and surprisingly found one for a little under a grand even though it was 14 years later. Well, I got too excited because as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. The refrigerator looked nice and was up to par however, the material that it was made out of was very cheap and flimsy. I had a pitcher of tea on the side compartment and the handle was protruding just a little so when I closed it, it hit the shelf just barely, I swear, and the white part covering the glass shelf just broke off. And this happened within 3 months. I was so devastated that my practically new fridge was now damaged that I called about getting it replaced. I had to get a shelf replaced in my old one and it only cost $15 so I figured it would be no more than $25? Boy was I wrong. They wanted $150 to replace the shelf even though it certainly wasnt worth it. Then all of a sudden, without any impact, I started noticing cracks all over the refrigerator. One on the side door, one on the bottom drawer. Cracks were showing up in places that had no chance of being hit so I came to the conclusion that the material was just cheap junk and now my refrigerator is barely 3 years old and it has all of these cracks in it and frankly, its embarrassing. Im not going to buy a new one just because of cosmetics so I guess Im stuck with this inferior crap until I need a new one due to malfunction. But Ill tell you one thing, I will DEFINITELY NOT get another Kenmore. I dont know what Kenmore was doing in 2012, but they certainly werent looking out for their customers. Price probably didnt go up like expected over 14 years because they cut back on the quality of their material, but they should know that in the long run, that will cost them and not make them profits because I will never buy another Kenmore again. And that includes my washer and dryer, microwave as well.

Will wash out the dirtiest dirt and no rewash. I love it. 3 kids, 5 sports, one concrete worker, sand everywhere. One washer and one dryer I am the winner. I get the good laundry award from my family every day. It works as hard as my kids play and they can get really dirty and stained up a lot. They play softball, go fishing, and fish worms are really slimy. It still looks as good as the day I bought it. Easy to keep clean. It looked great in the laundry room from day one and I even got my color I wanted. I bought at income tax time. I knew it was going to be costly but was surprised at the cost. It was more reasonably than I thought it was going to be. I would not have waited for tax time if I would have known.

It does a great job cleaning my clothes. The cycle takes too long, I dont like the stop button (it is easy to break) and its difficult to stop the washer and add an item because the lid locks. Very reliable. I have owned the washer for over four years without any problems. I use the washer several times a week, at different settings. The washer appearance is fine. I was looking for something simple to use and small enough to fit in my laundry closet. There is nothing fancy about this washer but I wasnt looking for anything complicated. I was not planning to buy a washer but my old washer/dryer combination broke down so I was forced to buy new machines. This washer fit well within my budget without sacrificing the features I was looking for.

It was very easy to use, and clothes truly have no wrinkles. Large loads even dry extremely well, as do thicker fabrics, such as rugs or towels. Its capacity is more impressive than previous dryers, I was able to completely and efficiently dry my familys towels and washrags in one load. It looks sleek, and its simple color goes with any house aesthetic youre going for. It isnt a big eyesore either. It goes with anything. The price I paid for the dryer made me think that it would be a nice dryer, but it has exceeded my expectations. If I had known it would perform this well, I would have no issues paying more for it.

Kenmore Series 500, top loader washer with automatic load sensing - Ordered online, everything went wrong (multiple order numbers) from beginning to end. But, my biggest complaint is the actual washer. It has an automatic water sensor that doesnt give you enough water to completely wash the load. Even after two rinses, the clothes still come out with lint on my black capris (washed separately). They are not thoroughly washed and result in a big tight knot in my washer upon completion. I have tried deep wash, but theres no way to get additional water in it. The water sensor barely gives you enough water to get the clothes damp. I hate it. Give me the old fashioned one with a knob to select water level, and an agitator would be nice too. Not sure what genius decided washing clothes with no agitator and no water would be a great idea!!!

I have used a Kenmore washer and dryer for a number of years. My experience with these appliances has been excellent. When I required service of any type the company provided excellent service. These Kenmore products are of very fine quality and easy to use.

The Kenmore Dryer gives you great options like permanent press - normal less dry, normal dry, more dry, it gives you auto dry - less dry. Also knit, delicate, timed dry, touch up air dry. It also has lint filter and a very loud buzzer so I know when my clothes are dry. I like all these features because its the best dryer Ive ever had. But it would be nice if had a front loader, so it doesnt hurt your back when youre bending down to load it. Also it would be nice if it had a fabric softener holder, so the fabrics wouldnt stick to your clothes and end up all over the house. I bought this because Kenmore has always been the most reliable and best brand that has came out to the stores for my family. Other brands that me and my family have purchased in the past the heating elements have burnt out, or the drums stop spinning which leads to extra cost for replacement parts, or resulting in buying a whole new dryer, and when I cant find parts, or someone to fix it.

I love my washer and dryer! Kenmore is a very great and dependable brand! The only brand I would trust and use!!! The products are well worth the money I spent on buying them and they are very durable and last a long time! I have currently had my washer and dryer for 3 years and never had a problem out of them. They work the same as they did the day I bought them!!!

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

It dries my clothes nicely and has the room I need to fit everything I need in it. Quick dry time also and leaves clothes static and wrinkle free. The dryer has been a long lasting appliance and I havent ever had any problems using it. It leaves my clothes dry and wrinkle free without all the static involved also. The dryer is nice and has a great appearance and overall I like to show it off to guests and family when they come over. It has clean fresh appearance. Overall the value is great and well worth what you pay for. I would recommend the product for the money you pay. It performs at a high level and I like that a lot.

I currently own both the washer and the dryer and I love them. They work perfect. Mine are both 3 years old. I bought them together brand new and they havent given me any kind of problems since I purchased them.

It gets my familys clothes clean whether it is a large or small load. I have had a family of six and now there are just two of us left at home. It just keeps working. This washing machine has been working for over ten years with no service problems. I can fit larger items like blankets in it or do my finest washable on the hand washing cycle. It still looks great! In fact, it is older than my dryer but it looks better because the paint has lasted well and it still looks relatively modern considering it was bought before the famous front-load look came into style. This purchase has been well worth it. Any washing machine that has done the amount of laundry I have done that has lasted over ten years is worth its weight in gold.

3 years never any problems. They run well, look like new, no leaks, no noises, dry well, wash well, no problems, quiet, efficient, and built tough. Great washer and dryers. They are reliable in the fact that they have never broken down, never had to pay any out of pocket costs, no repairs, no leaks. Great product, well made, long lasting, great resale value. White, side by side top loading washer, front loading dryer, electric dryer, 3 prong plug for dryer, still has the blue film on them, look brand new after 3 years. I paid around 600 for the pair and sold them for 1/2 at 300 after 3 years due to moving, so pretty good resale value and probably could have gotten more if I had the time.

I had a Kenmore washer and dryer over 20 years ago. They turned out to be very good appliances. They were dependable and lasted for many years. I changed to Whirlpool after Sears outsourced their appliance to another company.

I use them regularly. They are hardworking machines. My family has no complaints. I sometimes use the dryer instead of ironing. Easy to load. Would buy again. I would definitely recommend. Easier to use than others Ive had. Reasonably priced also. Easy to find. I had mine delivered for free. A real bonus. Even installed and all it cost me was a tip, by choice. Nice, sleek, and choice of colors. The dials are also a nice touch. Easy to operate. Also easy to keep clean. And lots of choices. I also enjoy how quiet they are. If I can afford them, so can you. They are reasonably priced and the life of the products makes it an even better deal. Affordable and long lasting products are what pulls me back.

I have owned my Kenmore washer and dryer for 8 years now and absolutely love them. I have had no issues at all and both washer and dryer machines are very efficient. Im looking forward to buying another set soon and we will absolutely stay with the Kenmore brand.

Reliable. I have had a Kenmore for over 40 years. When I want to replace my washer/dryer I go to Sears first because I know I will get the top rated products. They have good selection of washer/dryers, their service people are knowledgeable, and I know I am getting a good product.

Every single time I do a load of laundry with the Kenmore Elite washer, it turns into a large twisted ball of knots. Its destroying my clothes. The sleeves knot and twist and draw stings make it worse; also, bras and socks and lingerie bags all twist and pull. I set the spin to low every time. It makes absolutely no difference. And because everything is one big knot on one side of the basin, it of course goes off balance and smashes around. The matching Elite dryer is no match for what its partner does - it cant get these wrinkles out no matter what the setting. Also, if I use the bleach cup, it bleaches for loads afterward. Its not safe to do a dark or colored load after a white load. It was purchased in July 2010. These machines were brand new (I was told), top load and HE. I hate it. Its been ruining my familys clothes since the first load. Also, I must use the extra rinse button, which is not very energy saving, or the clothes smell and dont get clean.

It worked about average. My clothes were clean but stains still had to soak or run through a couple times if they came out. Works better with smaller loads and extra rinse. I had it for couple years. Never had to fix anything and when I sold it was still working. I would purchase another Kenmore if needed. The appearance was plain but I didnt dislike it. I do preferred to look at the front loader washer and dryers with different colors but I dont think they work as good. For the price I paid for it it was reliable. It was a good value.

The washer and dryer are several years old but still work well. I would feel comfortable buying another set because I know they would last through whatever my family puts them through.

In Aug 2013 I replaced my old Kenmore Front Load washer, that I had purchased in 2005, with the Kenmore Elite Model 41172211 Washer. My old Front loader had worked great most of the time. In the 8 years we had it I replaced a pump and had to replace a set of drum shocks but other than that it worked great. One thing I never had a problem with was mold and mildew growing in the washer. I very seldom had to clean it out and never worried about having to leave the door open. Our clothes were always cleaned very well.However, the new Front Load Elite Model # 41172211 has been nothing but problems since we got it. There was an odd odor right from the start. And there is a constant fight to keep mold and mildew from growing in areas along the rubber boot. I leave the door open. Run bleach through it on the Clean Washer cycle usually at least every 2 weeks. Really water efficient. I think not. Not when you have to run cleaning cycles all the time without a load in it. The other problem is that my wife has a beauty shop and we wash a lot of her towels in the machine. With my old machine there was never a problem getting the hair out of the towels. Every time I run a load of her towels I have to wipe hair off of the glass on the door and out of the rubber boot. And dont tell me I need to clean the screen because I do that about once a week.I grew up with my parents always having a Kenmore washer and dryer. I have been married for 32 years now and my wife and I have only had Kenmore washers and dryers up to this point. But if this is the quality of Kenmore front loaders I will NEVER buy another Kenmore. As far as Im concerned this machine has an engineering deficiency that needs to be corrected and Sears/Kenmore has a public relations nightmare with this washer.Sears needs to make good for anyone having mold problems in these machines by either refunding our purchase price so we can go elsewhere and get a machine a decent machine or replacing what we have with a model that doesnt have a mold problem. I know personally I am considering seeking a lawyer that specializes in class action litigation. I have seen enough people posting about this problem not only on this site but many others about this specific problem. If it wasnt a design/engineering problem then my old machine would have grown mold and it didnt.

My Kenmore washer and dryer are white and modern looking. The controls are easy to choose for the right amount of clothes, the right temperature for the type of clothing being washed. The washer does not have a center agitator so you can put more clothes in it. Clothes do not get tangled up and come out clean. It is energy efficient and uses less water. Both my Kenmore washer and dryer are huge capacity so I have fewer loads as I can wait two weeks before I do the laundry. Kenmore products last a long time and I am satisfied with the performance of both the washer and dryer. The ease of using them plus the performance makes it well worth the price we paid.

I bought a Kenmore Elite washer from Sears on 2014. I was highly encouraged to get the warranty for about $325 for ONE year; which I did. A year and three weeks later, my warranty was expired and the washer started to stop in the middle of the cycle and giving an LE ERROR. The manual says its the MOTOR - turn on and off the washer. If the error continues then call customer service. I called and they told me indeed is the motor, gave me a quote of $260 for the new motor & installation OR to pay $360 for ONE YEAR of warranty and this would cover the parts and installation. The conclusion is that I feel all they want is to keep getting my money & sold me a faulty washer which only worked for ONE YEAR! Its just me and my husband, I took very good care of the washer, and the customer service representative said: Its a factory fault. Theres nothing you did or could do about it. Im extremely MAD! I was considering to buy the dryer, but now I will definitely look for other brands!

I have both washer and dryer. They last a long time, very well built. It gets your clothes cleaned and dried fast. I would highly recommend this brand. Very trustworthy. When I need to replace my washer or dryer I will buy from Kenmore.

Efficient and nice design. Washer is really great, and dryer leaves clothes nicely dried and soft. Doesnt consume most of my time so I can freely do other things around the house. Quick to wash.

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

Never a problem. Works quick as well and is easy to use. Probably one of the leading brands in the country. I do about seven loads a week. Works efficiently and never gives any problems. Seems priceless. Would recommend to anyone considering of getting a new one and is very valuable. Not so big, fits greatly and doesnt get dirty, real easy to clean, and love white as a color goes with everything. I have my dryer and washer side by side with not a lot of space. Very good pricing for this brand and is worth every penny. We all know repairs can be expensive so I would recommend this brand.

My washer doesnt ring out water. Extra water smells like mold in your clothes. I wouldnt recommend this washer and the dryer kept blowing out. Kenmore washer with the side face is not a good product at all.

The washer performs as expected. No issues after 4 years. Very cost and energy efficient. Kenmore is a very trustworthy brand and this is just an example of why that is so. Very reliable. Runs quiet for the most part. Using this washer is enjoyable and very simple. Kenmore made a great product. The design is very sharp. The color is appealing and matches my dryer. Im happy with its appearance and I wouldnt change a thing about it. This machine is very cost and energy efficient. Thats the number one reason I chose it. I have no regrets. This machine work as expected and it was money well spent.

Poor quality on Model 1105072012 Kenmore washer. We bought this washer, and a dryer on 3/17/2015. The washer was so noisy, we took it back. Second washer had a broken pump, and flooded the house. This is the 3rd one, and after 1 year it simply stopped, with the lid lock light flashing. Couldnt get it to self diagnose, so I bought a new lid lock ($56), and after running for part of a cycle it did it, again. Called the store... And SURPRISE!!! They have no record of the sale OR the extended warranty!! Same type of problems with the toaster, and coffee maker, so we will NEVER buy ANYTHING from Sears/Kmart, again!! Since we cant find the receipt, its a lost cause.

When first bought worked very well for a few years then gradually started taking longer to dry loads of laundry. Worth the money though. Ive only had to replace a few parts through the years but the dryer is still running well. Dryer belt seems to wear quicker than all other parts. The color of the washer makes it look sleek and also blends very well with my apartment walls. Although lint does accumulate on the top and is very visible due to the light color of the dryer. For what I paid for the dryer I have received my money back and then some in savings from not having to go to the laundromat and various places to get quarters.

My Kenmore top load high efficiency washing machine has a large tub so you can effectively clean a large load of clothes or a heavy winter quilt. The dryer easily dries the large loads and the great thing about the dryer is that everything comes out with no wrinkles.

Kenmore has always been a trusted brand. This is the 3rd Kenmore refrigerator Ive owned and my washer and dryer are also Kenmore. Never disappointed. It was the width I was looking for and a good price. Delivery was set up and arrived as scheduled. I like that the fridge is slim enough to fit into tight spaces and there is lots of room in the door for beverages. The freezer is surprisingly large enough to hold very large items. The glass shelving makes it easy to see whats in the back. But they could improve on their open door alarm, although handy as I have a child in the house who is very bad about not shutting the door, it is very sensitive for both the refrigerator and freezer doors but it comes on too soon. It can be shut off for a short time but there is no adjustment even through service technicians.

We have had both our washer and dryer for over 10 years. They are worry-free appliances with consistent high performance. I would definitely recommend Kenmore products. Very reliable. Able to wash and dry a large volume of clothes at one time. Attractive looking and hard working. The appliance size fits in nicely in our laundry area. They are also very easy to use and pretty quiet to use. Both the washer and dryer were very affordable and I would not hesitate to purchase a Kenmore product in the future. We have had no service issues ever aside from ordering replacement pieces. The appliances are over 10 years old and are used constantly!

Easy to use - taught kids how to use when 9. Each one washed own clothes once a week. Wanted kids to be ready to go to college. Also to be able to take care of self. Kenmore allowed them to grow as self reliant people. Love it and easy to use. Children can use. WAS EASY TO transfer clothes from washer to dryer - I would still have - however one of the kids I babysat for sat on lid and broke it. Washer and dryer basic white controls on top with ease of use. Kept clean with a wipe. Good value - great warranty. Shouldnt need however you always do. Kenmore is a brand you can trust. When I was younger Kenmore was a brand that was passed down the family. Things were made good.

I bought the Kenmore 600 series washer and dryer from sears with the warranty. So far no issues. The only thing I dont like is that I cant wash pillows in it because of the sensors weighing the laundry and the pillows floating it throws it off so it just keeps rinsing once on that cycle. But everything else washes great. All settings are effective. I have used liquid and powder and both rinse completely out of the tray.

Powerful washer provides the incredible clean that you expect your clothes to be. You cant go wrong with this washer. Kenmore has made me a happy customer for life now. Its very reliable. I have found this washer to be more reliable than all of the other washers I have ever owned. Its a bit on the small side and you have to be careful about the load size but its a great investment. Its white. Its a little bulky. It looks just like every other washer on the market. The only real difference is this seems to clean better. The washer is the perfect size for a small apartment like what I live in. You can make it work room wise. This washer is a must. It does the job well and does not take up as much space as other washers tend to. The dryer portion of the set also covers everything you need.

Dries well and doesnt leave a lot of static. Gives you different time options for drying as well as 3 settings for air drying. Definitely recommend. Love my dryer. It is durable. We have had it 12 years and never had any problems with it drying our clothes. I wash clothes at least 3 times a week and use the dryer for drying with my comforter. This Kenmore dryer is small, durable, good size and depth. Easy to fit anywhere in your home. I love front load feature and simple to use. I believe this was on sale when we purchased 2 years after buying our home and we purchased as a set. We have had it 12 years and have never had issues with it with a family of 4.

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

My Kenmore products last between 10 and 15 years. Have owned Kenmore since we were first married 50 years ago. Of course, I take very good care of them. Very seldom, if ever, do I have to call a service man. I choose to get the fewest features on the appliances as I have found out that the less mechanic, the less the problem. Have found these products very reliable. Currently I have a white washer and a beige dryer. They do not match, but work all the time. Would not use any other brand. Am tempted to buy new more modern ones, but mine still work fine.

The product is an excellent washer and dryer. I purchased it on sale, the cost was wonderful. It is easy to use and holds decent amount of wash. The name speaks for itself. I have had other brands in the past, must always come back to this brand in particular. The appliance exceeded my expectations. The color matches my decor. The style is sleek and not big so it fits my laundry room space perfectly. The value is again as I previously stated outstanding. You cant ask for a better product for the price and quality of this appliance. I would definitely recommend to my fellow shoppers.

Can I put a negative star above? I purchased Kenmore elite washer and dryers on 11/06. I had nothing but problems for five years from the main circuit board on washer, with codes that even Sears phone tech couldnt even identify. I replaced two water pumps on the washer from coins getting into the pump. Now, the dryer continues to beep when running. It will even flash times when it is not even being used. I have to unplug the dryer when we arent using it so it wont keep beeping. I will never buy another washer or dryer from Sears again. The old style washer and dryers are by far better and more long lasting than these two.

It does everything that I want it to do and that is all I need. Functions properly, not too noisy, can handle heavy loads, and has nice presets. Overall I think it is very reliable. There is nothing wrong with it. It is there when I need it. It has not malfunctioned or done anything abnormal. I think the appearance is kind of bland, but I didnt buy it for appearance. As long as it can get the job done then Im fine with how it looks, unless it looks broken. The value is about right. Im fine with the price that is used to buy the dryer. I do not think it is overpriced, the price is absolutely fine from what it stands for.

Worked well. No problems---easy to use, quiet and efficient. Would buy these products again and recommend them to anyone have had other washers and dryers over the years but these were the ones I preferred.

I tried Whirlpool at one time and the spin cycle in washer was out of place and shook all over the place so I wasnt fond of Whirlpool so I chose Kenmore. The dryer is pretty fast and keeps clothes pretty warm when drying compared to some dryers where they would have clothes that would feel cold or still not dry as you took them out of the dryer. But sometimes I would have to start it up two or three times for it to be completely dry after awhile of use. It was good to start out with but as years went on it was time to replace the dryer because of this issue.

It is very old and still works well. I have personally had this dryer for 16 years and it is at least 30 years old on its own. I got it when I moved into my home and have loved it, it is without problems and will probably last longer than I will.

I love love love my Kenmore washing machine and dryer. I got a great deal for the set and could not have got a better deal. They work so well and are also quiet and quick. I never have to question their reliability. I always know when I go to wash and dry my family’s clothes that my washer and dryer are going to work. They fit well in their space too and I am happy with how they look in my home. These are beautiful and stylish machines anyone would be proud to have in their home. Would definitely recommend.

We have never had any issues with our Kenmore refrigerator or our washer and dryer. Their products are very reliable. Technical support is always available and the products last a very long time. It fits everything that we need it to and space is never an issue. I have 3 kids so were always stocked up on food which is fresh and frozen. It looks very modern. Their products are always of a modern look and style. They definitely keep up with the times. The value is always more than worth it. The products hold up over time and I would match them up against any other on the market from fancy to run of the mill.

Although it is just your basic dryer, it works well. It doesnt have the bells and whistles, it does do what it is intended for which is drying clothes. It was a dependable machine that never needed servicing. The machine is capable of holding a large load very easily. It will also easily handle small loads. It can handle delicates as well as heavy duty loads. Cant go wrong with this machine. Modern sleek lines. Looks nice in any home. I would highly recommend this machine for all your laundry needs. It doesnt get any better than this. All machines are costly. You get what you pay for. You can get cheaper machines but you would be sacrificing quality for saving a few dollars.

We love our Kenmore washer and dryer. They are a great value for the money! Easy to use controls means everyone in our family can operate them, and lots of extra features and settings means we always have the right wash to tackle any mess.

The washer and dryer are a matching set green in color. Theyre working perfectly and they do as they are expected to do. Also, the wash loads are perfect for my amount of laundry and it doesnt take too long to wash or dry. I havent had to have any service to them at all and havent had any problems. I wash and dry 3 or more loads a week for over 6 1/2 years since I purchased them used and for $150 it was a very well investment.

I really like the dryers performance. It works great. Its awesome. Its very helpful a lot. I like the way my clothes dry when I take them out. They feel really great. Its awesome. This dryer is the best and I love it so much. My dryer is very reliable. It dries my clothes very well and I like it a lot. I like the way my clothes come out nice and fresh. I also like my washer the way it washes my clothes to be honest. I love the appearance of my dryer. Its really great. Im glad that I bought it. Its a lifesaver. Great value to be honest... Its worth all the money I spend on it. I love it so much. I like using it a lot.

Have my Kenmore washer & dryer for 11 years now. The dryer is on Custom Cycle. I use always Normal Cycle, Med. Low Temp, More Dry and Wrinkle Rid. After the cycle is done I do the Touch-up for 15 min. and then my loads are dry. The front loader washer is another story. After the warranty expired a problem with the settings started so I was not able to use the Custom Cycles here anymore. Every time the wash cycle would stop before the rinse cycle, so I had to touch a shorter cycle with cold water and start all over again. What I do now is touch all the buttons one by one 3 times till I am back on the cycle combination I want and now it works fine for about 90%. Annoying but you learn to live with it.

Had one for years. It worked great and I would highly recommend it to anyone or buy another one for myself. They are the best. I mean it is a Sears product - what else can you say? The freezers are great also and I had a washer and dryer also. Kenmore products are the best.

Weve had our Kenmore washer and dryer for about 6 years with only one minor problem. The handle of the dryer broke but was replaced by a service tech completely under the warranty. The washer has no issues. We have the stacked front loading models. I would purchase these again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Kenmore appliances.

Dries clothes very well. I like having the different heat options for delicate and cotton items. The anti wrinkle setting is awesome as well. I have had this dryer for a few months and have had no problems. I normally only have to run the dryer once to get everything dry unless it is bedding. Mine sit right off my kitchen so appearance was important to me. Thankfully I was able to get a matching washer as well. They go well with my other appliances. Well worth the price. The new technology makes drying easier and faster. Now if they would just make something that folds my clothes and puts them away.

Works fine but literally just had to replace heating element less than 2 years after purchase... shorted whole dryer. Things shouldnt break down that fast... of course just after warranty.

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

It dries your clothes fast but does NO damage to them. Its quiet when it is running. It lasts a long time. I love it, good brand to buy. It has never gave me any problems for as long as I have owned it and that says a lot to me. You want to buy a good product and I would say this is one. It has a nice sleek modern look to it but I think most washers/dryers look almost about the same so really you cant go wrong with the look of them. You want a product that gives you bang for your buck (a good value) and that also lasts a long time with no problems and that is what I got.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite front loading automatic washer model 796-4100. Its a washer and dryer in one. I purchased this one because there wasnt a way to install a vent for the dryer in the laundry room. I have owned Kenmore appliances my whole adult life. My parents only purchased Kenmore appliances. My washer broke in less than a year. It doesnt get overly used as its only my daughter and I using it. The machine had the drain pump replaced, 2 motherboards just to mention a few. It was torturous trying to get it repaired. Hours and hours spent on the phone. I wont ever purchase another Kenmore appliance. Sta

My washer is a top loader and completely white, same with the dryer, but with different settings. The washer for heavy or light loads, the dryer for regular or delicate. The value was average but it was worth it for the quality of the product. It takes about 15 minutes to wash and the clothes come out smelling fresh and clean. It works very well, the same with the dryer, and helps keep the colors bright and the whites white.

Gets clothes clean. Very easy to use. If you are not into high tech things and dont like change this is for you. It washes clothes and they are clean and the clothes get dried in the dryer. I have no problem in washing everything that I need to wash in my washer and dryer. I put blankets and quilts in them without any problems. The washer and dryer sit side by side. They are plain and simple without a lot of buttons and added functions, just the way I like. They are easy to wipe down and keep clean. Value of having a washer and dryer are you can wash clothes whenever you like and fold them whenever you get around to it. You dont have to go out to a laundromat and worry about having money. At home as long as you have laundry detergent you can wash.

Do Not Buy Kenmore products!!! I purchased all new Kenmore. Elite appliances 3 years ago... plus a front load washer and dryer. Washer had to be replaced 18 months later. Microwave lightbulbs... requires 2... $35 a piece! Now the Elite bottom freezer refrigerator has died... 3 years and thousands of dollars later... same experience as everyone else here. No wonder Sears is going under. Customer service is HORRIBLE. Repairman finally came out and replaced the compressor... 2 days later and unit is not cooling enough. Now I have to go through this garbage again. Repairman said he has at least two of these repairs a day. Compressors are NO GOOD. STAY AWAY FROM KENMORE!!!

I purchased the Kenmore Elite Washing Machine and compatible Dryer, in Sep of 2012. As of this date, Sep 9, 2015, I have been utterly disappointed with its performance as a washing machine, as it does not wash clothes, it get them wet, wrinkles them up, and spins them out. Clothes do not come clean. But, the great news is, today it completely EXPLODED! I mean that it blew up, the top, the whole top, not just the lid and the control panel, but the entire top blew off, the machine blew apart, blowing a holes in the drywall, denting the adjoining dryer, as you will see in my photos. Sears and Kenmore will do nothing about it, stating it is out of warranty. Well... I will not ever set foot in Sears again, and I will never buy another Kenmore product again. See attached photos for the damage. This machine blew itself three feet away from the wall, and as you can see, would have seriously hurt someone if they had been pulling clothes out of the dryer at the moment of destruction.

Cleans great. Washes and extracts perfectly. I have used the dryer for less time and clothes come out very clean. I would recommend. Great value/great price. The large load fits a lot of clothes. It keeps up with my household of two men, one teen and one female. And football uniform items. Few washes a day and never lets me down. It is not a fancy front loader but I prefer the top loads. It has everything I need and is a very nice washer. It is simple but what I need. The price was excellent. Great value for a great washer. It is one of the cheaper styles but like I said it has everything I need for a great price.

Love my washer and dryer. Works great for my husbands dirty work clothes and all my daughters clothes that she gets dirty. Also love the large load for blankets and towels have plenty of room.

We purchased a Kenmore Fridge #79576209901 and have had nothing but problems. The freezer is constantly icing up causing loud fan noise which requires being defrosted with a hair dryer. Now the fridge compartment is not cooling because the fan is not staying on long enough to cool. I have replaced the defrosting element and Defrost Thermostat and now trying to replace the Electronic Control Board. The fan does come on but only stays on for a few seconds. I have read nothing but bad reviews from people with the same issues about this Kenmore product and will never buy another Kenmore appliance.

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

Upon installation by the delivery crew this dryer (Kenmore 67132 Electric) gave them a PF error message and would not start. They replaced the power cord and said it was fine. Ten minutes after they left it failed to start again and gave us the PF error. Sears replaced the dryer with a new one and after a few weeks it started giving us the PF error again leaving us with an unusable dryer. We also ordered the Kenmore washer 26132 4.8 cu. ft top loader and were dissatisfied with that as well. It look a very long time for a cycle to complete and most times our clothes ended up still dirty, still stinky, some areas were not even wet and some clothes had a white residue on them. Both appliances were returned.
