My first washing machine was a Kenmore that we got used from a neighbor. It worked forever and was super reliable, and always cleaned our clothes well. Quality, trustworthy and reliable. Never had any issues with it. We used it for over 5 yrs and then sold it when we moved.

Its a neat idea but the washer simply smelled like mildew from day one. Everything we wash smells awful. We tried all the tricks we read about from online forums to no avail. We do not have any issues with its reliability. It worked very well from this standpoint. The appearance is sleek. We enjoyed the look. It fit with our lifestyle. Buttons are Laid out appropriately in an intuitive spot. We did not find it to be of high value to us. Because of the mildew smell. All of our clothes smelled permanently.

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

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.

Series 700 top loading washer - Ive never been more disappointed in a purchase. These claim to be efficient water saving devices but you have to do 6 times the number of loads if you want your clothes to be cleaned. I purposely put very few articles into the wash because I want them to actually come out clean and over and over again they come out dirty, as if they were simply wet down and spun around. We did have an old style, center agitator Whirlpool that did use more water but CLEANED 6 times the amount of laundry in one load! That washer cost us $75 and lasted 14 years. This new Kenmore cost $700 and has been nothing but disappointment.

Doesnt drain used water completely leaving sticky, smelly residue in wash after it is dried. To remedy this a prewash without clothes included is required -- very wasteful of water I think. This will be the major consideration at time of purchasing another washer in future. This problem was diagnosed by a sales person on discussion of wash results. I resorted to going to a laundromat outside my home combined with my grocery shopping for large wash load. It has made my washer last longer.

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

This has been the most dependable washer Ive owned in quite awhile. Its just too sad that Kenmore appliances are not very popular since Sears has left the retail world. I was always a Sears/Kenmore customer for all of my major appliances purchases.

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

I bought a Sears Kenmore Washer and purchased an extended warranty. This machine has flooded my basement on at least six occasions, three times causing extensive damage. They have replaced the seal three times and the motor twice. They have forgotten to replace the front cover, leaving wires exposed. I have called, and spoken to dozens of people on what must be every department. The only thing in common, is that they refuse to take responsibility for this defective machine.

It was a very good washer that worked great for years without needing to get fixed. Its one of the best washers I have came across so far. It was a very reliable washer, no glitches, no repairs needed and worked for years. I consider it one of the most reliable of washing machines. I suppose it looked nice. It looked like most washing machines. Shiny white with white and grey buttons, the basic setting labeling. It was a nice basic looking washing machine. I think it was a very good value due to the lifespan of the washer, the quality of it, the lack of malfunctions. Its a great value for a washing machine.

I loved Kenmore because it always worked and was reliable. I had it for a long time and never had to repair much. I only had a few issues which were temporary and probably from my own wear and tear. The machine was recommended by a family member. They knew that my old washing machine had broke and decided to tell me about a sale at Best Buy. I got it about 20% off and I really got my money’s worth from this machine. It worked for a long time, but it was cheaply made and it had a lot of other problems cosmetically. It could have had stronger material or make it out of better things for large families and the wear and tear they bring.

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

The washer is easy to use because you can change your wash load settings and youre able to put as much laundry in the appliance. There are multiple settings and your clothes will always smell fresh. The washer is always available to use and it is made from powerful material so that the water doesnt go to the outside cover and initiate water rot. You can also combine whites only with colored pieces of clothing without worrying about the colors bleeding into the whites. The appearance of the washer is just a simple design with some options to choose your load of laundry, how hot or cold the water is needed, or how you want the laundry to wash your clothes (which is using a gentle setting or a rough setting). Although the washer has a lot of features included and does a lot of things to the laundry to make it fresh and clean, the appliance is too expensive. So I wish the price was lowered down so everyone could afford to buy this brand and model.

Bought on 2002 Kenmore Elite Front load 1st Generation, continues to work well. Only a few minor repairs. Would buy the same pair again if still available. Has more than adequate controls, actually only need one or two but there are options to use occasionally. No negatives other than cannot be replaced.

Works great, very durable. Repairs have been minimal. Dryer has not needed repairs since I bought it. Washer had a relay switch go out. Repair was not costly.

We were familiar with Kenmore and stuck with what we knew. It is a quality brand and it was on sale at the time. It has very much smart and exceeded our expectations. We like that it is push buttons and not a huge dial. There are many different cycle types which makes it very simple to do different loads. When the clothes come out they are not as wet due to a good spin cycle. We also like the glass top so we can see the clothes get washed.

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

I 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.

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

It was given to me as a gift. It was used previously from a family member and lasted a long time. It was very quiet and the load cycle finished quickly. It was a very reliable washer and it lasted a very long time. I never really had any problems with it and I recommend it to my friends and family. Its appearance was really nice and it didnt take up much room. It was easy to clean and kept a clean new look after a little cleaning now and then. It was a reasonable price for the quality of the washer and was worth every penny it cost. I was completely satisfied with the value of the washer.

Awesome. I can dry a full load of laundry in 20 minutes. The washer is totally reliable. If you need something real fast, you can wash it in 11 minutes and then you can dry it in 5 minutes because it spins out so hard that its almost dry anyway. Very nice looking, white, both front loaders. The insides are nice and shiny, but I do suggest that you keep the washer door open when it is not in use or else your clothes will smell like mold. I bought these about 2 months ago, brand new, with a year warranty and together, they were just under fifteen hundred dollars. I would hope to get ten solid years out of the both of them.

My washing machine is very easy to operate and figure out. It also washes quietly and effectively. Theres not a lot of buttons so not much to figure out. My washers reliability I think is great. I rely on it completely. It holds a lot of clothes or towels at once and I even wash my king size comforter in it and I have never had any problems. The overall appearance of my washer is plain but clean. Its just white with silver buttons so nothing fancy, but easy to read the controls. The value of this washer I think overall is worth it. It washes clothes just like you need and washes quietly and quickly and extremely easy to control.

I am completely dissatisfied with the Kenmore Washer I purchased in September 2013. It tangles and twists my clothes even on the delicate cycle. It does not clean our clothes well at all. I have to wash our underwear twice. I have to constantly reset it to wash our towels and bedding. I have also noticed rust around the edges of my bleach fill. The softener does not empty correctly. I have called sears for help many times since we have the Kenmore connect. They can never seem to help me. Many of the reps dont even know what Kenmore connect is. We keep getting error code LE. I was told this error means something is wrong with my motor. I hope not since we have only had it for 3 years. The dry is loud. It didnt start that way. I have no positive comments. This machine cost a lot. I had a Maytag prior to this machine that worked wonderfully for 12 years.

Purchased a Kenmore washer from Sears for $399.99 1 year+4 months ago. Service tech. says transmission has gone out. To repair, Sears wants $502.56 + service call of $79; $581.56 to repair a washer they sell new for $399. There are only two of us in this household (me 70 and my wife 68). We dont do a lot of laundry. This machine is a piece of junk. DO NOT buy Kenmore!

Best washer Ive ever had! Consistently cleans well and is very energy efficient. Also is pretty quiet while operating. It’s small enough to fit anywhere but large enough to hold a decent load of laundry. Operates consistently well, always cleans all the laundry perfectly. Ive never had to have it repaired in the entire time Ive had it. I can always count on my clothes coming out fresh and clean every time I wash them. This model is small and sleek, fits basically anywhere. Its neutral in color so it matches any room you need to put it in. Its certainly one of the most visually attractive models Ive come across. This washing machine is a good value price wise when you buy it, but it continues to be a good value in that you dont have to deal with a lot of repairs, and it wont cost a lot energy wise.

It did a sufficient job cleaning my clothes and getting dirt out of kids clothes. Would have liked a larger capacity. Worked well with all detergents. Had no problems with my washing machine. It did the job I needed it to do. Was extremely reliable. As expected. Its a normal washing machine. Simple, worked as intended. A washing machine doesnt need to be elegant to do its job. Our landlord purchased it for its value. No complaints from the peanut gallery. Fresh clean clothes.

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

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

I had a Kenmore which had never have my load cleaned up after even double washing cycle. The model is 402.49032011.

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

I am getting clean clothes, no tears or wears from machine, great job and not much of a noise. Dryer works nice too, but I do not use it much - prefer natural drying outside. It never gave me any trouble, really reliable and ready to go when I need it. Never malfunction or broke. I would really recommend it and I am happy to have it. It is old fashion and all white, but nobody see it except me because it is in separate room. And I do not care much about appearance as long as it works. By now it cost me practically nothing and still working great, so I am happy with value. It is one of those products that were build like do not do anymore.

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.

Appearance is modern and stylish at the same time. That is very important to every modern family in our modern society. Therefore Kenmore brand, upholding its high appearance standards is so popular among modern generation of our time. It does its work very effectively and thoroughly every single time and I expect it to be delivered to me on the highest level, because reliability factor is the most important to me. Its a very good feeling to trust completely and thoroughly your washer. It works results every single time, no matter what without any exceptions. Kenmores value is very good indeed and very justified as well and everybody is looking for these particular features in a laundry machine.

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

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

This is the worst washer (700 washer) I’ve ever owned. Unless I use deep fill and second rinse for every load half the load comes out dry and unwashed. Also (maybe my mistake) I cannot reach the bottom of the machine without a step stool. For such a deep basin it appears that it fills about 2”. So by using the extended options I see no efficiency or economy needless to say an hour and a half per load!

I have never had a problem with Kenmore products. The washing machine lasted for 20 years and I was washing for five children and two adults. In all those years, I have never had to call a repairman.

Fix the washer over 20 times since purchase in 08. Replacing mother board again in 6 months. Repair teaches different things then the sells guys. I use to rave about Kenmore. Not anymore. I could have bought a new washer every year for the amount of money I have used to repair washers in the past 10 years. All Kenmores with Sears repair men.

Last a long time. Washes and rinses acceptable. Has different water levels. Different wash cycles. Fits in a small area. Looks good. Best washer I have ever used. Reliable, runs forever. I have had mine for over 20 years and it has not broken down even one time. Easy to set up, powerful. Appearance was a basic white, top loader, slot for soap in two places, easy to move if needed, not too big so it does not take up too much space. Nice. Considering how long I have been using the washer I say it was a great bargain, thought it was too pricey at first but when you are still using 20 years later it was a steal.

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 purchased a Kenmore Elite HE3T washer last February 2009. After 20 months of use, there was an F35 error. I am using the HE detergent. Several attempts to clear the lines and analog water pressure sensor only provides temporary relief. The washers door ring is also a breeding ground for mold. I will purchase a new sensor from a local parts supplier.

It uses less water. Has a quiet usage. Its not load. Had never knocked. My clothes get clean with less water and less soap. Its not broken down with excessive usages. Ive only used Kenmore appliances. They rarely break down with excessive usage. Every time Ive needed a Kenmore appliance its always been in good working condition. They are always stylish appliances. Modern and up to date looking. Keeps my laundry room looking modern and up to date. I like the buttons much more than I like knobs. You get what you pay for. Reliability and durability. These machines last for years. Washing machines are major appliances and sometimes its not affordable to just go out and buy one.

The washer does the job well and gets clothes clean but I wish that I had a larger washer. I have a large family and the load size is fairly large most of the time, so I very frequently have to do multiple loads of laundry to get all of it done. But other than the size of the washer capacity, I am very pleased with it. It is just the ordinary plain, white washer. Nothing in particular that is fancy or special about it. It also is in a laundry room, so it isnt out in the open where it is always seen by others. But for the job it does, it was a great bargain and has been well worth the money that was spent for it. It was a very reasonable price because I chose just a basic model.

Kenmore Model 796.4027. It is rated as best buy by Consumer Reports. However, it has a serious design flaw. The valves close much too quickly causing massive water hammer. None of our other washers had this problem. Their solution, install new anti-water hammer devices. **. This is a design flaw in these machines. Wikipedia has a very nice treatment of what causes water hammer. I also spent a good bit of time in Engineering School studying hydraulics and this is a classic case. The valve is closing much too rapidly. The solenoid that actuates the valves needs to be redesigned. It shouldnt be hard, other washer manufacturers seem to have figured it out.The service was prompt and courteous. He explained that this was a very common problem with newer washers. However, since nothing was replaced Kenmore/LG wont track this as the design flaw that it is. I suspect that the manufacturer actually knows about the issue but doesnt want to resolve it due to cost implications. What a lousy way to do business.

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

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

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

The washer is easy to use and has every function you could need. It effectively and efficiently cleans clothes and does the job. It can also fit everything needed and is easy to load. It is reliable and well made so worrying about issues is not necessary. All of the functions are easy to read so you can be sure you are doing what you want, too. Lastly, the washer is a good value. I got what I expected for the price that I paid. I would recommend this washer to others if they needed one.

Its a great machine. I really think it runs good and is one of the best machines Ive owned. I would tell my friends and family about it. Id get another if I need to buy one. Runs and washes great. I really like the way it works and runs. Very stylish. I like the way it looks and the way its made. I like the color of it. I find it very nice. It was a fair price for the brand. I think I got a fairly good deal. I would buy another if this one messed up and I would tell my friends about it.

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.

I am very disappointed with my Kenmore front load washer I purchased April 2011. I did not purchase extended warranty, I sure expected a Kenmore to last at least 10 years with previous purchases I made with Sears appliances. The repair guy estimated 1000.00 to repair. We said no thanks because I can buy new for that price. So, this Tuesday, I have a new top load washer coming and this Kenmore is going to the dump. My new machine is costing me 1200.00 bucks. The problem with the Kenmore is it will not spin the clothes out, the clothes stay very wet. I would like a refund, however I am not expecting you to do much for me, but it would be nice to offer me some money back. I still have the receipt for the washer. I hope you consider some refund.

Good quality, clean, efficient, hardworking product. Time tested and approved. Ive gotten many, many loads of laundry clean and fresh with this washer. This washer has been very reliable through many tough dirty jobs. Id recommend it for anyone looking for good, clean quality for great value and price. This washer is typical in looks but the value and quality more than makes up for aesthetics lacking, just buy it and see people... youll get clean value at a great price. You save time on presoaks plus its less expensive than others that seem to have the same value. It lives up to the value and more.

The unit (Washer/Dryer) have been working well for a long time now just like day one cleaning my tough stains & all with no problem. Even now my kids have no issue washing the game uniform which gives me more extra time to get my things done. But I was really raised on Kenmore products from my mom when I was growing up & the fact that theyre still making great products for me and my family to enjoy is the power of great long lasting products that stand the test of time.

I have always bought Kenmore washers. This is my third and I always buy the basic one with the biggest capacity. This one was under $400.00. The best reason to buy Kenmore is its from Sears and they stand behind their products.

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!

The performance is great. I really never have a problem with this product. I can trust and rely on this brand to do what I need it to do. The performance of it has never let me down. Very reliable, I can take care of my need and want of washing with my washer. I have never been left with the thought of my washer not being able to work for me. The appearance is not that much to think about. It was a plain design and basically like any typical washer. The body was made like others. The value of the washer for me seems phenomenal. I am able to take care all of my problems and still move around throughout our daily lives.

We purchased the 500 series washer a little over 2 years ago, and have regretted it ever since. If I do anything bigger than a half load it becomes unbalanced and sounds like a helicopter landing in my house. When you pause to rebalance it takes a full ten minutes for the lid to open. I’ll never buy a Kenmore again...

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.

We purchased model #28002011 Kenmore washer in 9/2011. Were 2 older people (no pets) requiring 3-5 lite loads of laundry a week. In the last year or more, the washer would add time while in a cycle. For instance, it would count down to say 2 minutes remaining, then adjust the time to say 8 minutes. When youre trying to perform other tasks this could be madding enough. Now after the wash cycle it would just click never performing the rinse or spin cycles. The serviceman informed us the washers motor & transmission must be replaced at a estimated minimum parts cost of $250 plus labor. This was the worst major appliance purchase we have ever made. I dont believe trips to the laundromat would have been as costly & only less inconvenient in winter. Im all done purchasing Sears products.

I would recommend these products because they get clothes clean and dry perfectly in a very quick amount of time. They also never break down. I have never had either of my items malfunction or break down since the day I bought them. I would highly recommend these because they are perfect for large families like mine who do a lot of laundry. The appearance of these items are perfect. They go with anything else you may have around them. They fit perfectly just about anywhere and theyre very easy to keep looking clean. The value of these items for the great low price is wonderful. Full functioning anytime of the day with no malfunctions or breakdowns of any kind. Also very quiet.

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.

We really love our washing machine, never have any issues. He washes a big load of clothes. Gets them very clean and smelling fresh. Has plenty of wash cycles and choices. It is one of those that only uses very little electric. Energy saving.

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

The washing machine is good but it has features that are not really used and it would be easier if there were fewer options, for example, like the Deep Wash and the Heavy Duty could probably be merged into one if they are used for the same purpose.

Kenmore has quick and efficient, reliable, easy to use products that make my life easier. I can always count on my Kenmore washer to get my laundry sparkling. Ive never had a problem with my Kenmore. Ive had it two years and have never had to have a repair performed. A great reliable durable product! Granted I did not buy the washer because of its looks but it is nice that it is sleek enough to look right almost anywhere in my home. Much more pleasant to look at than others! Sometimes, paying a little more is the smart investment. Kenmore may be a little more expensive than LG etc but the quality makes it worth every extra nickel!

This is my second Kenmore washer. The first one I had for 18 years and gave it away, still running well. This new washer I have had now for 7 years, with 2 moves and a family of 6, it’s still running almost like new.

I am completely dissatisfied with this machine. It tangles and twists my clothes even on the delicate cycle. It does not clean our underwear. I have terrible yellow stains on my towels, and it does not clean the makeup off of my washcloths. I have to constantly reset it if washing towels or bed clothes. I have also noticed rust around the edges of my bleach fill. The softener does not empty correctly. I have no positive comments. This machine cost a small fortune, and I am ready to throw it down a hill! I had a Maytag prior to this machine that worked wonderfully. Piece of junk!!

The Kenmore washer is easy to use, seldom needs repair, used mine 14 years, never had any reason to complain, do recommend service policy, attractive in my laundry room, large drum, and dries large loads. I had a large family and usually did four loads a day, seven days a week, extra large loads always got clean and dry. Matching set never let me down, easy to load and use, had cycles to do what I wanted it to do. The matched set always looked like they belonged in a store showcase. Laundry room on first floor, no sense trying to hide in basement. Proud to own them! I have been married over 50 years and this was my third matched Kenmore set. Never let me down! Prices were always below or comparable to any other brand. Anytime I wanted or needed 1 or 2 set, I went to Sears to buy Kenmore because I consider them to be the best.

I really like it. It was a great set. Would recommend to anyone. It was green, it had a position for a small load... It clean my clothes really good. My hubby bought it for me.

This washer does a wonderful job cleaning your clothes. It is handy. The clean cycle does everything evenly and swell. My clothes have never looked better. The washer is quiet which is nice. You can sleep while you have a load in. The performance of this machine is extremely well. I would and have recommend/ recommended this washer to many, many people. It is a great value. Well worth the money. Kenmore is a great brand and they should be proud. This washer fit all of my needs which were a great clean, leaves my clothes feeling fresh. It is the best machine I have used in a really long time. The appearance of this Kenmore Washing Machine is very sleek and modern. It is a great design that can fit in anywhere. I personally love the clean appearance. It makes me feel fancy. You get what you pay for, and so much more. Trust me.

Absolute piece of junk. This dumb washer was built WITHOUT a central agitator. Bad, bad idea since the clothes get all jumbled up to one side of the washer. Glad Sears isnt around any more in my town since they sold junk!

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??

Just stops working in middle of cycle. Does not get my clothes clean at all. And wont rinse or spin. Worst washer Ive ever had. Dont buy it.

I have had a Kenmore washer for at least fifteen years and the only thing that I just had to replace are the dogs. Just replaced the dogs last week for under five dollars. It was super easy. I would recommend a Kenmore washer because it works great, cleans clothes and bedding up to my winter comforter quite well, its very dependable and it well worth the money.

It is the best washing machine I have ever owned. Cycles are done much faster than I ever would have to possible. It easily handles all of my garments, from the bulkiest ones to my most delicate items. This is the most reliable appliance I have ever owned. It is extremely dependable and that is very important to me as I have to do laundry every day. I have never had a problem with its performance and it has never needed one repair. Its physical appearance is absolutely stunning! Its so smooth and sleek. It looks very high tech and like it is of very good quality. It compliments the color scheme in my laundry room perfectly and really brightens up the whole room. This appliance is a very good value. My friends and family, anyone we have over to the house that happens to see it always ask how much I paid for it and are so surprised when I tell them that they ask for more information on it and say they would consider buying one too.

Im just happy with my washer and dyer. It was a great help after I had my twins with the many loads of washing I need to get done for my family. All our clothes keep clean. The machine is nice and quiet as so not to wake the babies.

Very reliable and dependable. Heavy duty. Could hold large loads of clothes/towels. I believe mine lasted for about 15 years. I do not believe I ever had any mechanical problems with either machine. Only got new machines when I moved to a new house. Actually sold the pair used in a garage sale.

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

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

I have had Kenmore products for over 45 years and loved them all. My old washer finally quit and I purchased a 600S Kenmore washer 6 months ago. It has a large tub and agitator, but the clothes come out tied in knots. Even with the deep water fill, there is never enough water in the wash. I end up using a double rinse. So where is the water saving? I get so mad every time I wash a load.

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

The washer works very well. Its energy efficient & gets your clothes very clean. Uses less water but still gives you a good clean. It is very quiet as well which I like. It is not reliable. I have had to have multiple repairs in the 2 1/2 years that I had it. The repairs took multiple services to even find the problem. I also had to get the panel repaired because of a shortage. It look very cute. It has a glass window so it look very modern and new age. It has a large look but it fits well in my wash room. I like the white finish on it. The value of the washer is good as long as I can get it to work. I had a warranty so it paid for the repairs but the quality is not very dependable so it takes the value down.

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.

The washer always did good. It was fast, efficient, and never broke down. The washer itself never got moldy or smelly and I love the options to wash. This washer could fit a pretty large load of clothes or a few quilts. It never got hung up and washed with ease. I could also easily wash more than one pillow. Its a basic washer appearance. It doesnt look as high tech as some washers out these days, but its still very nice and has enough nice features to get done what you need. It wasnt highly expensive and has lasted for a long time and still going. The knobs are all in working order. The doors are in working order.

Bought the top of the line Kenmore Elite front loader 2017. Worst purchase I ever made! Have tried every tip for getting the clothes to smell good. I spend more time cleaning the machine and over washing clothes than I ever have. I have used every laundry detergent. From the first day the towels stink. Tried baking soda, washing machine cleaners, using less cleaner and adding scented beads. Calling customer service was a joke. Every time they told me to try something or clean the cleanout drain. I told them I already had. They could care less. I curse this machine every time I use it. As soon as water hits a clean towel it smells like it just came out of the hamper. If you go in the Sears store and open up the machine smell inside the front loader. That is what your towels will smell like.

I purchased a Kenmore Elite washer. The worst $900.00 ever spent. This product is bad. The service folks couldn’t ever fix it. The parts were bad. They used up my extended warranty and never fixed it. Motherboard fried and its cost to repair you might as well buy a new one just not Kenmore. Very disappointed. Long time Sears customer.

Model 27122 serial #C42330018 - Coin operated washer. 7-23-14 Purchased washer from Sears on line. Deld 7-29 - Leaked immediately - they replaced 2 days later. Machine failed within a couple of weeks - had to wait till 9-4 for service call - circuit board was fried according to repairman & said he will order new one. Waited 10 days only to find he never ordered it. 9-19 - Repairman put in new board but did not recalibrate machine (which another repairman said he should have done). Machine broke down again. 9-30 - 3rd repairman came but could not fix. 10-8-14 4th repairman (George) came & recalibrated circuit board. (10-23 machine failed again.) 10-24-14 (5th visit) George returned again and recalibrated again. Frankly no one know why the machine (a brand new machine) keeps failing. This has been going on for 3 months. The machine has never run more than 3 weeks and usually 2 (but 1 wk is the standard time it takes to get an appt. visit). Its a Kenmore made by Whirlpool. The repairmen have said they have a lot of trouble w/ this machine (yes, they actually said that & I have a witness). They blame the problems on the fact it uses a circuit board. Theres more, but I leave it at that.

We bought our home in Loxahatchee Florida, with great joy and began furnishing and decorating. Because of limited space, we purchased the Kenmore Stacked Laundry Center, #61532. It is just my husband and I, so we do 3-4 loads of laundry per week. Just the other day, only 1 year and 9 months from our purchase of this brand new appliance, water started showing up on our laundry room floor. We check hoses, drain pipe, etc. and all are secure. So I call Sears for service and was told that the warranty is only for one year, so I would have to pay for repairs. Okay, how bad could it be??? Well, the technician came out and took one look at it and after hearing what we said was wrong, said oh, yea, this happens to these all the time, apparently Sears is peddling this appliance that has a transmission problem. And, worse, after spending $1,200 on the initial purchase, this would be $900 to fix!!! How shameful that Sears, a company that my mom worked for for 20+ years and my parents swore by the Kenmore brand is putting out a product that they KNOW is faulty and has not performed properly for any consumer. They wont credit us, they wont take it back, we are stuck with this monstrosity. We are tired of this kind of wanton callous concern for the end user. How is there not a recall on this item???

I regularly use my washer and after a few days of testing different settings, Ive found the perfect settings for me. After that, this washer has never failed to get the job done. Since I live by myself, this washer is able to comfortably for all of my clothing items with extra room to spare. This makes the washing process easy for the machine and prevents it from getting congested. The appearance is rather minimalist and does not possess any fancy designs. I like this type of design because it helps the machine match any types of surroundings and not bring too much attention to itself. While lacking some features of the most cutting-edge washers, this machine is economical because it gets all the basic needs accomplished efficiently at a fairly reasonable price point.

Fast and efficient. Very pleased. Great features and easy to use. Faster than the previous washer. Somewhat noisy, but does the job. Can handle loads of clothing. Is reliable and dont have to worry about if clothes will be washed or not especially for big loads of clothing. Had it for a long time and doesnt disappoint. Looks clean and simple. Does not take up too much space. Ergonomic design which makes it environment-friendly. Good appearance, worth the money. The money is worth the value. Durable. Clothes come out clean and warm. No issues with the machine since bought.

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

I have owned my Kenmore top loading washing machine for 10 years. It may not be the most attractive washing machine but it is definitely the most reliable and dependable washing machine that I have ever owned. It has never failed me once and gets all my clothes very clean. I have recommended the Kenmore washer to many of my friends and have never heard of any breakdowns or repairs. I know that someday this machine will quit on me and when that day occurs, I will go right back to the Sears store and buy another Kenmore!

I really like that my washer is quiet. I dont have to worry too much about it getting off balance. I absolutely love that it is a front loader. This is a very reliable washing machine. I have had absolutely no issue whatsoever so far. Everything comes out clean and all is done within 45 minutes. I really LOVE the look of my washing machine. It is sleek and compact. I have gotten many compliments on my washer. Very stylish and clean looking. You definitely get your moneys worth out of this washing machine. Not to mention that you will save a bunch of money on your energy bill.

Even clothes that had stains or very dirty came out clean. No need for second wash. Didnt even have to use the option of extra rinse or heavy dirty. Never had to level it like my top load washer. Never had any issues with it and its energy efficient and keeps my electric bill from skyrocketing. Its quiet you cannot even tell its running. Its compact enough but big enough to fit a big blanket or comforter usually had to take them to the laundromat. It wipes clean easily as well. It was more than I wanted to pay but in the long run its cheaper because it cost my electric lower and my water to run lower. I would recommend it to people.

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

Love it. That is the best washer ever that has ever been made. I wish they would make more like that. This should be rated number 1. It has the best wash cycle ever.

The washer is making noise and I am not happy with the product. It is not leveling and it has mold problems. I would like a new washer.

It would take the dirtiest of clothes and get them cleaner than expected. It was very quiet, fast and reliable. I would recommend this to anyone. Worked great and never had issues. I was comforted by the fact it came with a 1 year warranty and never needed to use it. Very clean and modern looking machine. It doesnt look tacky but looks nice enough to want to show it off. Many people have commented on how nice it looks. The price for what you get is steep. There are a lot of other models that will work just as well for a better price but they dont have the Kenmore name.

We purchased this top loading washer less than a year ago and have been very unsatisfied. Would love our old, no energy efficient, agitating washer back in a heartbeat. This new machine never appears to clean the clothes well. They not only come out a wrinkled mess, they also come out with white splotches and dirt splotches on many dark clothing.
