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

Mine is a front load washer. This Kenmore is great. The clothes always come out clean. Easy to use with many great options. The only maintenance required is to leave the door ajar and wipe off the inside of the door seal maybe once a month. We run a load every day and never had any issues. I would highly recommend.

It worked good. I just wished my clothes would get cleaner. Its like it didnt wash on heavy and soiled clothing. It didnt do good at moving stains that were embedded. It always worked when I needed it to. It never broke down on me or anything. I could depend on it to work. My clothes fit but not as good as I needed them to. The drum was pretty small and my clothes were smashed. It had a nice sleek look in classic white. It goes with the color of everything. It was a classic washer with modern updates. It looks fairly high-end for the price, and it fits nicely in small spaces. It was a good value for me. It got the job done. You cant expect it to do everything and fit everything but its a good dependable, sleek and sturdy washing machine.

My top load Kenmore Elite Washing machine is 4 years old and has been rusting for the last 2 years. I finally decided to check into replacing the top and I found out it will cost over $350. This is absolutely ridiculous!! In 40 years I have NEVER had a washing machine rust! I will never buy a Kenmore product again!

I have owned my washer for three years and I have never disliked an appliance more than this machine. The washer is Energy Star but this could be the most hypocritical statement made. I just did a load of clothes and it ran through the entire cycle and there were spots on some clothes that werent even wet. I can never just use the automatic settings because the washer does not know how to add the appropriate amount of water. I constantly have to start over the cycle so the machine will add more water or lift the lid so the machine is faked out so it will add more water. And if I forget to do this and all the cycles are complete, I will run the wash or rinse cycle again. Also, the machine will not let me rinse using hot water. How does the machine know what I want to rinse and the temperature that I should be rinsing in. It is extremely frustrating to not be able to select the features, I know are best for the items I am washing. Also the Express Cycle will not let me select hot water. Clearly the operator should be able to select the water temperature no matter what the cycle is. When I need to add clothes, I lift the lid while I go collect the clothes from my childrens rooms and if I dont get back in a set number of minutes, the machine will start to drain itself. I get back before it is done draining but there is no override and therefore it takes more of my time to wait until it drains fully and then again I waste water by having to start all over. Also, sometimes I need to raise the lid again but I dont want to add any additional water. Well there is no way to keep the washer from adding water after you lift the lid. Again more water waste!!! If I could leave the lid up while the washer fills with water, I would be able to check if my clothes have faded and add more clothes if I want and this would not only save water but save me very valuable time. Speaking of time, with my previous machine, I could do a complete cycle in 30 minutes and therefore I could complete 2-3 loads of laundry in the evening. But now one load is the most I can do. Even if I do the Express Cycle, this is 35 minutes and then I have to rinse again (which is another 24 minutes) so it takes an hour and the clothes are no cleaner than before. The tray for where you add bleach never drains completely. Therefore I rarely use bleach for fear that the residual water left in the tray may bleach my next load of clothes. When I do use bleach, I wipe the tray dry to ensure the bleach residue is gone. In closing, I wish Kenmore would do a more complete test market to ensure their appliances work for the users and not cater to unjustified government regulations. I assure you I use far more water and electricity with my current Kenmore Elite washer than I used with the my previous machines.

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.

Worked well for my big family. I do laundry about three times a week and this washer fulfilled my familys needs. I didnt have many issues. When I did, Sears fixed it. I still have this washer. Very reliable. Never ever had any issues. Ive had other machines that gave us a ton of problems. This machine isnt one. I recommend it for big families like ours. Very pretty or fit in our small laundry room. But it fit big loads of laundry. I would definitely buy more products from this company. I was able to fit my king size comforter in this washer. It was surely worth the money. I had a more expensive washers. That didnt work as well. This one is one of the expensive ones, but its awesome, came with a great warranty.

Kenmore is a great product that I would highly recommend. It last a very long time with no issues. The washer got the clothes really clean. In my opinion it is even better than the newer front load washing machines that are out now. Kenmore is a brand that you cannot go wrong and a name you can completely trust.

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.

Works great. It fits all your loads in at once! Its efficient and gets the job done with multiple loads, and its energy-efficient. It saves time and money especially with a busy schedule. Its white, front loader, and fits in my pantry space. Not too big. Cost about $900.

The washers appearance is nothing out of the ordinary and is not too complicated to use. It is very reliable and I use probably 3 times a day. It works great. It washes my clothes really well and I havent had any problems with it since I have bought it. I have never had a washer like it before. It is one of the best washers Ive owned and the value of the washer is well beyond the price. It is totally worth the price I paid and would probably buy another one if anything ever happens to my washer.

To put it mildly, I am totally fed up with this Kenmore Top load series 700 washer. More often than not, I have to repeat an entire wash, as I just have, but for the third time (same load) because the clothes come out with a scuzzy residue all over them. I have tried deep fill, two rinses, etc. etc. Nothing works with any consistency, and it is ludicrous to have paid almost a thousand dollars for a machine which, from its first day, refuses to wash clothes satisfactorily. Is there no way to make Kenmore accountable for marketing and selling a product which is such a miserable failure?

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

Never fails me. No matter how dirty kids clothes are always come out clean. I never have to rewash anything. Sturdy. Will never use another type of washer. This washer is extremely dependable. Have never had any mechanical problems. Does not make a great deal of noise. Clothes always come out clean. Sleek appearance. Very modern looking. Very streamlined and never rusts and I have a damp basement. I have even had friends say what a nice appearance it makes. I love it. This washer was worth every penny I spent. It was very expensive but I am a perfectionist about my clothes and this washer answers every need I have. Has never disappointed me.

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

I bought this Kenmore high efficiency washer 4 years ago, in 2017. I noticed clothes did not get as clean as with my old washer (which took 15 years before replacement was needed). There were other conveniences that were missing; for example, there was no way just to spin wet clothes, as there were with other washers. The washer needed frequent attention to adjust off balance loads. Finally, 2 months ago (May 2021), the washer refused to turn on. A service technician came 6/10 and said we needed a new board, which he ordered. The part has been on backorder since then. My only communication with Sears/Kenmore is when I call them. Their customer service reps politely tell me that the part is still on backorder, and they will escalate my request. I still have no working washer, and a service agreement which is not being honored. My advice is to consider another brand of washer.

The products are user friendly. They also dont break easy and last a long time. My washer is very good at washing which it is its job. My clothes come out clean. Both products are energy/Eco friendly.

This was a very nice product. It held a large amount of laundry and did an excellent job cleaning. The only drawback is that it seemed to take longer than regular washers. This product is very reliable. It never seemed to have any problems or get out of line. If the clothes were out of balance it would adjust them itself. I had this product in black and silver and I loved the way it looked. It had a clear top so I could look in at the clothes at any time. It was an excellent washer. The price I paid for this product was a little steep but for the quality of this product and the overall job it does it was a very reasonable price that I paid.

Has good size door for easy loading and unloading. Has good selection of cycles to choose from, though I do not use some of them. I really like the ability to choose water temperature for both washing and rinsing. I have had it for over tens years now and it has never once failed me. I have never had any reason to feel it was not completely reliable. I take for granted that it will work properly every time I use it. I have a white model, which I prefer so, I can easily change the laundry room decor if I wish. It is designed well and has not gotten outdated in its look over the past ten years. This washer was an excellent value for me. It has all the features I wanted and more at a more reasonable price than many of the other products I looked at. I did a lot of shopping around and price comparison.

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.

I have a Kenmore front load washer. It's about 10-15 years old now and has been a great washer. I had a service man come out one time when the inside rubber gasket tore, otherwise I've had no problems with it over the years. It has been very reliable. I leave the door open when I take the clothes out, even though I've never had moldy smell in my clothes. I usually wipe out the gasket (around the door) every so often, but not that often. The front paint ended up bubbling from spilled detergents over the years, but that's simply cosmetic. Those front panels are replaceable, but it doesn't bother me that much. I never thought this washer would be so good and last so long. Thanks Sears for a good quality appliance.

After a few weeks our Kenmore Front Loading Automatic Washer Model 796.4027#90# was making very load noise and shaking the laundry room. We tried to adjust everything we could think of. Did not help at all. Then the leaking all over the floor. I drained the hose after every wash. Sometimes it wouldnt leak and then sometimes it would leak everywhere. This is the worst machine we have ever owned. Ive always wanted a front loader, but I was very upset when I bought it. I didnt get the warranty, because Kenmore has been around for so long and a good company. They really messed up on this product. With the amount of money that you have to pay for a front-loading washer, people should not have to deal with all of the problems that this wash comes with. I will never buy a Kenmore product again.

It runs very well and cleans the clothes the way they should be cleaned. Its quiet and doesnt make a lot of noise while in spin mode. This is a well paid for unit. Its big and wide enough to fit all my clothes in it and do a great job of washing them completely. You cant go wrong with a washer like that. The appearance of my Kenmore washer is something I enjoy looking at and am glad that I bought it also for the good appearance of what it represents. I am enjoying the value of my washer and all it does. I feel I got a great deal when I bought it and would enjoy doing it again if I have to.

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.

Model 110.27102310. Serial C34130259 - The washer finishes the cycle and the clothes are barely wet. Oftentimes I have to do it over again wasting water, time and detergent. If the load is uneven during the spin cycle, the washer hit its wall very, very loud but does not show or have any indication where and how to balance the load (more to the left? or more to the right?). Its HIT AND MISS - I keep trying to balance it over and over with a guess. It is so frustrating!

Rusting washing machine lid and around bleach dispenser. Faulty cycle selector. Beeping when machine powered on, fills with water, when lid locks.

It was quiet and took a nice load size. 2 pod Max and cleans well. No leaking and it doesnt rumble when spin cycle is running. You can put items in machine, easy settings, and relax. The hoses didnt break or leak. The machine didnt rust or break down either. I did not need to service it or call for a repair. I only replaced it because I wanted a newer model machine. Not too big where I couldnt fit it in my place. It was easy to move around from one location to another. It is nice-looking and you can watch your clothes if you want to. I dont know about now but it was pretty good for the money when I had it. I got plenty of use out of it, and I can say that I definitely got my moneys worth considering the time.

My washer washes well. It is very fast and I can can get my laundry done super fast. I have tried other washers but I ended up paying more for them because they didnt work very well. My washer is very reliable because it washes and rinses my clothes well. Since I got it, it has been performing extremely well. I have not had any issues with it so far. My washer is very good looking. It has a nice polished look and it has kept its appearance for a long time. It is still shiny and good looking. The value of my washer is high because it is strongly made. It lasted years with me and has shown no signs of wear or tear. I believe this washer will last me a lifetime.

High capacity size, top of the line, been in business for years, and reputable brand. Water and electric efficient. Thoroughly cleans laundry. Dries with smart reading to save energy and doesnt over dry, keeping clothes looking fresh. Easy to use and adjustable control settings for all sizes and types of laundry needs such as cold, warm, hot and combinations of water temperature for wash and rinse cycle. The price of brand is not inexpensive, but the quality and long lasting durability is worth the price. This brand also comes with a lifetime warranty. Delivery and set up of products is offered when purchased as well.

Sufficient but not the best washer Ive ever had. Could have been better.

This product value worths its price, it is easier and faster, no more stress of doing dirty job yourself and if you are tired of stressing yourself go for it. You wont make any regret purchasing the product. It is durable and it works faster than many healthy men can do and this will save your time, money and energy. The washer is beautiful and unique, and eye catching. It has enough space to clean and dry your clothes, no stain and no destruction of your cloth and it is very good. The amount you spent to get it, you are not going to regret this since you will enjoy the product more than what you pay to acquired the product.

I have had this washer (Kenmore 50.0 washer top loader) for one year. They have been back to fix it for the fourth time for the same thing! I dont get it, you pay to have the warranty, they come to your house, and are back for the exact same thing. They arent fixing the problem. I tried to talk to the repairman and in his words, Lady, anything you buy nowadays is junk. He even told me that whoever I called and complained about my problem, they dont want to hear it, so they tell you to talk to the repairman about it to get the monkey off their back. Real nice Sears! I wont be buying another thing from you. You dont show up when you’re supposed to and just feed you a line. Im done and wont recommend you to anyone.

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

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

Kenmore front-loader washer model 41262 - It uses a lot less water than our old washer which dumped in about 5 gallons of water whereas this washer doesnt operate in a pond of water but merely moistens the clothes as it tumbles them. Wash quality is excellent. Its as quiet as a sewing machine almost. Huge front door makes it easy to wash small rugs. Sears had it on sale for about $550 and that felt good. Stainless tub that wont rust my clothes. High speed spin gets things almost dry right there in the washer.

It does the job. It works. It holds a lot of clothes. Its quiet so Im able to use it at night without hearing any noise. Its well worth the price. I would definitely consider it to my friends and family. It is very reliable on the job that it does. It is very dependable. I can wash clothes and know that they will get dry and not shrink any of my clothes. It looks very nice and stylish at the same time. The color combination goes very well with the decorations and the color scheme of the laundry room. The value of the machine is well worth the price of what I have paid for it. I was not expecting it to work as well as it does for the price I bought it for.

We were given advice by the local sales agent to purchase this top of the line appliance (Kenmore 800 top loading washer) as it was reliable and one of the very few to require frequent repair. As a long and faithful consumer, we expected the appliance to be of solid construction and give us the type of service we came to associate with the Kenmore reliability. Alas, what a downfall. The product has turned into a constant expense in repairing the never-ending problems. As of this day, I have become wary of any product sold by Sears and Kmart due to our problem. We are retired, living on a fixed income, and cannot afford the extra expense we have burdened by the misrepresentation of the sales agent. Therefore, we may just start shopping elsewhere for any further purchases. I am saddened by the disappointing drop of quality in any of the Sears and/or Kmart consumer products.

It worked really well, and I liked it a lot. They washed and dried clothes, and helped me get my laundry done. I couldnt ask for more from a machine that is specially designed to do such, I would totally recommend this to someone. Its big, square and white, with big dials and doors that you can open and close. They wash clothes, and dry them for you, so you dont to dry them outside on a line. Its a very good value and you should totally go buy a set of these.

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

I 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.

The washer would not complete the drain cycle. I read some troubleshooting advice and purchased a new lid locker for $50. It didnt fix the problem. I called Sears and they charge a $99 diagnostic fee to come out then labor and parts. I read reviews of others who had similar issues. Some had to have the same problem fixed multiple times within a year. It could be the motherboard console. To replace this piece is about $250 plus labor plus the diagnostics. I paid $598 for the washer in 2011. I think I might be better off just purchasing a Speed Queen or another washer with a better warranty rather than pour money into something unreliable.

Bought a Kenmore washer in 2017. Installed by Sears staff. Washer made noise and bounced around since day 1. Called Sears service several times and the repair person came out and looked at it and said the problem was probably the floor so on both occasions they put pads under the feet of the washer. Last time I provided the pads as the man did not have any so he said maybe a jar gripper would do. So he inserted them under the washer. Never did he use a leveler to see if the washer was level or check anything inside the washer. So it seemed the pads made a little difference but the shaking and moving continued but not as bad. And I got used to the noise. But now here in 2019 it started getting more noisy and continued to shake and move more. Since I had a family member ill and then died I had no time in the beginning of the year to have someone come out. So I called them last week and they said they would charge me so much. I then decided to call another company (which I should have done before). The repair person came out and checked everything and said all 3 shocks were blown and leaking oil and that the washer was not level and was off by quite a bit. This was all from the washer not being installed correctly and off level. When I called Sears re this they said my warranty is expired and that I would have to pay for them to send a repair person to check it. They were not helpful in any way. I am a senior citizen and do not have the $700 + to repair this washer. Especially since the problem is because of faulty installation. Is there no justice anymore. Stay away from Sears and Kenmore and LG who apparently made this washer for Sears!!!

I bought my Kenmore when my youngest son was born. Hes 12 now, and I just replaced the washer. We have 5 children, so thats a lot of laundry! We only had to have it repaired once in all that time. Many good years of service!

Does exactly what it should and does it well. Locking door a nice feature, and comparatively inexpensive. Highly recommended for anyone. Fits anything nicely. Clothing, bedding, everything washes evenly and quickly. Even large, thick bed comforters for and wash nicely. Couldnt ask for more. Clean, simple look and easy to read dials. Cycles are down on lighting displays and are easily found. White paint fits any decor, but is easily scratched. For the price, you cant beat the value. A very dependable machine with low maintenance at a nice price point. No need to go more expensive.

We have always been fans of the Kenmore washing machines until we bought the Elite. It wont get my husbands work clothes clean, constantly goes out of balance, and leaves white residue on dark clothes. We have tried a wide variety of the HE detergents on the market - powder, liquid, pods. Nothing seems to make any difference. We paid quite a bit for this machine and it has not lived up to our expectations. Wish we could afford to replace it.

Kenmore Washer is very quiet and cleans the items. They smell fresh and have very few wrinkles. Also, it doesnt go off balance and very energy efficient. The reliability of this appliance is great, and it satisfy all the items that need to be done. The appliance is also up to date and modern. It will go with all decors. It has a sense of cleanliness with the appearance. This will brighten up the washroom. In addition, this appliance is rich in value. The appearance gives it an expensive look. The performance is exceptional and the cleanliness far surpasses the value.

I purchased the Kenmore Elite top load washer in October 2013. Yes, a little late to complain now but I just finally bought another new washer and it made me think to do a review. DO NOT purchase this washer. Since the day we bought it, it has maybe been in balance no more than 10 times! It usually takes 2 hrs to wash a load. It has become the norm for us to switch it to drain and spin after fixing the out of balance 3 or 4 times per load. This is NOT an exaggeration. We tried everything possible to figure out why. We checked the level with a leveler. We did small loads. We did medium loads. And we did large loads. NOTHING made a difference. Biggest waste of money I have ever spent on an appliance. We cant even sell it cheap to someone because they would be knocking at our door after only 2 loads. Please check others reviews with the same issue before thinking of purchasing this washer.

This washer throws the drive belt at least once per month! When it does it has to be laid over and all the water ends up on the floor and a huge mess not to mention having to put the belt back on! Never buy a series 500 or any other Kenmore with this type belt drive! Kenmore was no help, they got their money.

I purchased the Kenmore front load washer, model 4031, in January 2010. Exactly one year and one month later, we were noticing the noise coming from it was like a helicopter flying over our house. Considering it is in the basement, thats loud! We had a serviceman come and check it out. He said the bearing was shot and it would have to have a new drum, etc., to the tune of around $700+. It also puts a nice groove in the see-through door material due to the banging around, I guess. Plus I found a seal of some sort in my wet clothes - looked as if it had been cut into. Well then we had to get an anti-hammer device as when it would fill with water, it caused the pipes to about vibrate out of their brackets (Sears says this is a common problem).So to top everything else off, water now runs out the front onto the floor when I wash. My husband is retired. We bought this $1,800 set thinking we would be good for quite a few years and not just a couple. We are very upset with Sears. I went to them right away when all this started. They told me no one had had any problems at all with these! I, of course, have the horrible smell on everything, plus streaks on light clothes. I am just sick about this. I also was one of the lucky ones that had the Neptune set that caused Maytag all the grief. Cant believe I have been ripped off again. Just dont really know what to do!

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

Excellent washing machine. Many features with plenty of cycles. Had it for 11 years and have has no trouble. Never been serviced. Its an e machine which saves water and power. If it broke down today, I would buy another.

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

The washer is amazing. It has different spin cycles depending on your preference. It is able to get my clothes nice and clean in a timely manner. The appearance is pretty common. It has the knobs at the top and the washer opens up the normal. The washer is very reliable and I have had not one single problem with it. When I need my clothes done in a hurry it gets the job done very quickly. It is of a good value because of different key components. Some are how the washer works, what are the different features and the look of it.

My Kenmore washer has lasted going on 9 years now. It has been a very reliable appliance. I have never even had to have it serviced. I highly recommend Kenmore when shopping for appliances.

Colored clothes come out streaked with white marks even when I do a second rinse. Am currently rewashing a load without detergent in the hopes of dissolving these marks. I am extremely dissatisfied with this washer (Kenmore washer Series 600).

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

Kenmore Series 600 - I should have returned the machine after the first day of using it, but now I am stuck it with. It is the worst washing machine Ive ever owned. I feel like sending a bill to Kenmore for all the clothes this thing has ruined. It does not wash clothes. It sprinkles water on them and takes over an hour for one load to finish. No matter what setting I put it on, it does not get the clothes wet at all. My clothes now stink, my sheets are filthy, and everything is wrinkled. I am going to take this thing to the dump and go back to the laundromat.

Good delivery from Sears. Great product so far. Very quiet and washes thoroughly. Large capacity for 10 or more pairs of mens jeans which came out squeaky clean. Also using double rinse. Love these features.

Today took the cake. Im washing t-shirts and decided to throw in my bedroom slippers. Well, now I will be throwing them away!!! I cant believe what they turned out like. They were pink and now they are half black. Yes, black!!! Who designed this piece of crap!!! Not happy at all and yes I did take pictures! The only reason I decided to wash them was because I figured I would freshen them up before winter. My washer will be one year old in November of this year 2015!!!

I wish I had read all these reviews before I spent my money on the Sears Kenmore Elite washer. My Husband passed away and my Daughters family invited me to live with them. I offered to do the laundry for the family and with 7 people I started to shop for a large capacity washer. I had had Sears washers in the past and never had a problem so when I went into the Sears store the sales person showed me the Kenmore Elite and told me It was what I was looking for. I was so excited and when it came 2 young men came in and threw it in place and hooked up the water and out they went. I put my first load in and within minutes I got the UE. I looked in the book to see what to do. I did not realize that it would keep filling up with water. I called a repair person and they told me I could fill the washer clear to the top. He balanced it and found that the men that hooked it up had the cold and hot water switched.I have had my Kenmore Elite for nearly two years. I can not leave the washer because I constantly have to stop it and readjust the clothes. I had a repair person out again this past week. The one that came on February 18th told me mix the loads. It would make it better on weight. February 26 another repair man came and replaced parts. He told me I should only fill the washer 1/2 and I should ball each piece of clothes and put them on the outside of the drum not putting any thing in the middle and only wash towels with towels and jeans with jeans. He said if these parts do not work for me there is not much else they can do to help. Wow. The cost of the washer and warranty. A lot of money. I will spread the word not to buy a Sears product again.

The products are reliable. They are both 5 years old and I have not had any problems with them. We have a lot of dirty clothes with a family of 3 young boys and the appliances have held up great.

We purchased a Kenmore Elite washer 7-4-11. It was not much trouble in the first few months but I always had to make sure I did a large load or the machine would constantly be out of balance. Recently, I got a safety recall on the machine recently. I had the repairman out to install the update necessary. He has been out three times now and my problems have grown to the point of no return. I am totally unhappy with this machine and your update. As soon as I can get money saved up, it is out of my sight and being replaced with a different brand. You have got to be kidding if you think people are not going to drive you crazy with complaints. If you do a light load, it goes through 3 or 4 Rinse cycles and is constantly out of balance. It now takes 2 to 2 1/2 hours to do a small load of laundry and you call that efficient! I stay at home so I am able to stand over the stupid thing, but for working people, it will be a nightmare. My advice is to stay away from any Kenmore Elite. It sucks!

Kenmore Elite Oasis washer model 11028032701 is leaking from the bottom and making noise. It also has oil or grease coming out from the bottom. Never buy this washer. My mother and I both bought the washer from Sears and they broke after one year and four days. They refused to fix or replace because its four days over warranty. Then mothers washer broke the same way as mine, oil leak and water at bottom two weeks after mine. Sears was totally not helpful. She paid for a repairman and had it fixed. Then a week later, it was leaking water from bottom again. Im not pleased at all.

I have leveled my fairly new Kenmore 600S top load washer so many times. I can’t stand it anymore. I have never had a washing machine that couldn’t stay on balance like this one. It can’t possibly be the sheets, can it? Every load that has sheets, no matter how many, it cannot spin without bouncing all over the place. Forget about pillows, light blankets and towels. Maybe this is a problem for all HE top loaders but it never ever happened with my front loader or agitator. All of which were Kenmore.

Kenmore brand is the main appliance sold by Sears. It has been around for 40 or 50 years by now. It is made with good quality parts and therefore highly unlikely that something will go bad or wrong with the appliance no matter what kind of appliance you are purchasing. I have had washing machines by Kenmore in the past and would recommend them to anyone!

For the price, the performance is well worth the cost. Clothing and other wash loads come out extremely clean every single time and is always very consistent as well. Very consistent in how effective it is in washing everything from silks and cottons and jeans to towels and bedding. In all the years we have had it, it has had the power. This is a basic, no-frills washing machine. While it doesnt have all the knick knacks and features of other models, the price is right and the cleaning power and consistency is awesome. Almost feels like an absolute steel when talking about the functionality and power this base model has. Totally worth every penny and feel good spending money on it.

We bought the machine about 5 years ago. After the first year, it started giving me error. Went on internet and it said it was door switch problem. Ordered one and put it in, no difference. The next advice was to replace a board. I reset the wires and it worked fine for months. Then started again. So have to reset the wires regularly now. Then it started dumping water on the floor about every 4-5 loads. Am looking for a solution. Im 77 and its hard for me to do repairs now.

It did exactly what I paid for the washer to do. It was able to wash my clothes in a quick and efficient manner. I have absolutely no complaints to report about this washer. I usually have quite a few loads of laundry, as I help raise a good size family. I used to have to wash loads separately. This washer is able to handle much larger loads easier. The washer looked like a typical washer. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with this product. I did like the clear door, so I didnt have to open the door to check my wash. I did not have to break the bank for this washer at all. I forget exactly how much I paid for this brand, but I do know I already have it paid off.

We have tried liquid, powder, and pod, all HE soap, all of which have been left behind on our clothes. Deep fill seems to gets most of the soap off the clothes but other cycle leaves it streaking across the clothing. If youre looking for a fast washer, this one is not for you. 1hr20min to over 2 hrs. The over 2 hrs normally gets the soap off the clothing but not every time. As you can see with the dress, soap spots all over. I wish I would have thought about taking a picture every time over the last year but then I would have ran out of memory on my phone. The one thing the washer does well is spin the clothing almost dry.

Bought a KENMORE washer 41983.410 December 2017. Thats less than two years. Broke down last week. They want $560 to fix it. Shouldnt they last longer than that. Just bought another for $1200. Mad as Hell.

Weve had Kenmore washer. For the 21 yrs never had any problems with it. Id recommend it to anyone. Its been rough hard working/ washer better than any Ive had. I think Kenmore is the best.

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

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

Purchased Kenmore from Sears Appliance Store 2 years ago. 1 week after the normal warranty ended it stopped working. I had purchased an extended warranty. So they diagnosed and ordered a replacement gear box. A week and half later they came and installed it. It was a remanufactured gear box. Immediately it smelled awful, a horrible industrial grease smell. Within a week it was making a horrible noise. We stopped using it and went out and bought a far superior brand, because I had it with Sears and Kenmore. When the old washer was removed, there was oil all over the floor underneath it. So the remanufactured gear box was total garbage, leaking oil from day one. Poor quality doesnt even begin to describe the washer or the replacement parts. No wonder Sears is looking at selling the Kenmore brand. Its worthless.

Only had the washer for 2 years and already broke... Water is leaking from underneath and a very very loud noise on the spin cycle that it sounds like the old wood roller coaster at Cedar Point... My first and last Kenmore product. Went out and got me a Samsung.

Kenmore Elite top loading washing machine - This washing machine is less than 6 years old and for the past year it would imbalance when heading into the final spin cycle following the rinse cycle. I tested it with nothing in the machine and it still imbalanced. In researching the problem on the internet I found that this problem is not unique to my machine.The response from what is termed a community expert is that the entire tub needs to be replaced, which would at that time (2011) cost $212, not counting labor costs.The frequency of occurrence would suggest that this is a design or manufacturing flaw. This floating tub design actually seems illogical and destined for failure. Although these washers are listed as canyon capacity washers, I can only guess that in reality bulky loads can imbalance the washer to where it in some way disfigures the tub or the mechanism stabilizing it. The bottom line being, buyer beware. I know I will not purchase another Kenmore product.

It had a capacity to handle the load of clothes, which was usually large to very large. The clothes were cleaned including any stains that were spot treated prior to the wash. There was a fresh smell to the clean clothes. I knew when I went to use the appliance it would work properly for clean clothes every time. I would load a large amount of clothes with no wobble or noise during the cycle. The appearance was a pleasant bright white. The outside was smooth and chip resistant. The dials were labeled for easy identification of the cycles, temperature, and capacity. The print remained on the surface with no fading or peeling. The price was appropriate for the performance of the appliance. The load capacity and features were equal to the price paid. Although mine was a gift, I knew the price was good for the quality of the Kenmore name.

My washer worked fine before the recall. It took 4 months for the technician to come out and he changed the panel, which I told him worked fine and please save it for me, just in case (we live in a small town). Well sure enough, it hasnt worked properly and keeps giving me an unbalanced load error code. It keeps filling with water and draining, 2.5 hours the first time before I stopped it and put it on Drain and Spin and continually have to monitor it with every wash. Yesterday, I put it on the recommended Clean cycle with just a cup of bleach and it ran 5.5 hours, until 10:30 pm, still with the unbalanced error code, no clothes,etc. until I finally just turned it off. The tech who called and said he would be out last week never showed up or called. I am going to call the national Sears customer service (1-800-549-4505) line again and complain, not much hope for help with this problem though. Is there a class action case?

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...

Elite - Difficult to retrieve clothes from the bottom of the washer. I had to build a special platform for my wife to retrieve the clothes from the washer! The units were very expensive, but I would like to assume this would infer a level of quality. They seem to work well, although somewhat odd from what we were used to before.

On 10-28-2011, Sears Kenmore washer was repaired. model # 45087 and serial # cst0410838. The machine now is quieter and runs smoother than ever. We believe the suspension system was defective since it was new, as we had to adjust loads to eliminate the shaking and vibration. We have spent years of working with this washer, and now paid $280.00 to repair. What will Sears do to retain our business?

The Sears elite washer rusted out totally where bleach dispenser is.

I like Kenmore because it seems to be the best long-term appliance. Service on them I have been able to do myself cause simply to disassemble and online how-to sites. I have had my clothes get cleaner than any laundromat big washers have done with my Kenmore. I would not buy any other brand.

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.

My Kenmore washing machine does an excellent job. It is quiet and very easy to use. My clothes are always clean and I do not require as much soap as the other machines I have had in the past. Although my washing machine is a top loader and I have been told front loaders are better, I have used them in the past and I find the machine I have now is just as good or better than the front loading machines I have used in the past.

I have had no issue with the washer. It works well, no complaints. Just have to make sure that you do not overload the machine and more than it needs to be. This machine will get the job done no matter what it is. This is the one for you. Id recommend anyone to go out and pick this unit up as soon as possible. The overall look is good. It is white but looks cream at certain angles. It is easy on the eyes. It’s not too big and not too small. The overall value was worth the money. Has not given me issues and it works well to this very day.

It always kept my clothes clean and washed them very well. I would go out while my clothes were washing and I never have had trouble with it. Always trust my clothes in there. Had no trouble with it, set the timer and off I go. Never had to worry about your clothes. You will be satisfied and very happy with the wonderful work it does for your clothes. It is such an amazing washer. It will keep your clothes fresh and clean. Never disappointing. You will love it. Very helpful washer and does many wonderful work.

It did the job. It agitated properly and got my clothes clean. Really spun them and got the excess water out to make drying them easier. Very reliable and seems like it is really well made. I love get more products. It has enough space capacity to meet my laundry needs of a family of six. Four children under the age of 11 means lots of grass stains and dirty clothes. Looks sleek but also looks just like a lot of other washing machines out there. I like the style is simple and isnt a sight for sore eyes. I feel you get what you pay for when it comes to home appliances. This was a bit more expensive but definitely worth it and the warranty it came with.

The washer was not the best that I have ever used. It did not clean cups or bowls well and after a year it started leaking. I was satisfied until the leaks started. Then I was very unhappy. I live in a three person household and it was fine. I would not recommend this for a big family. Small households the size is fine though. It was kind of ugly but then again so was my whole kitchen. It got dirty easily and was terrible display. I kind of hated it a lot. The washer was overpriced, undersized, and ugly as sin.

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 performance was fine. I never had any problems with the washer and I thought it did a fine job. We never had to have it serviced. We finally sold it when we moved, but overall it was a good washer. The washer was reliable. We had no issues with it for the 6 years we had it. No service was ever necessary. It was a little bit loud at the end but it still worked great. No complaints about the reliability of the washer. It was a very standard washer. It was not flashy or amazing to look at, but it got the job done. The washer was white with no other colors. Pretty bland but again do you really need a washer to look extremely fancy?? I dont think so. Since the washer was so reliable and lasted so long, I feel like I got my moneys worth. I dont know how it compares to other washers but I think it was worth the money I paid. Definitely went through a lot of laundry!

Washer works well, gets clothes clean, have had no mechanical problems, satisfied with the features available, energy and water efficient, able to purchase at a good price. Would recommend this washer. I have found this washer to be very reliable and have had no repair issues. It gets my clothes very clean and I have had no problems in that regard. The capacity is satisfactory and meets my family of 4 needs in every way. I have been very happy with the modern appearance of this washer. It complements my decor and works well in my laundry room. The visible features are user-friendly and work well. While this was a more expensive washer to start, I have found the water and energy efficiency more than make up for the initial higher cost and I am pleased with the overall savings.

I have been a Kenmore user since I started buying appliances. I have never been disappointed, and so I keep coming back. This low efficiency washer is awful. Hardly adds any water at all; its washboard does its best to destroy and rip up your clothes (I have pictures if anyone doubts me); this cycle is so long that you cannot do more that one load of washing in one night. Laundry used to be fun for me. And BTW, clothes are still not clean.

Simple to use and starts and dries quickly. Kenmore one of the best brands on the market. Very efficient and water and electricity conscious. Like the options. Had for years - never had an issue. Never has needed to be fixed. It dries in proper time. Washer is water efficient. Kenmore offers great warranties and doesnt cost a lot extra for the warranty. ust typical white appliances. Looks not important. It needs to wash and dry which it does. If people are talking about the look of my washer they are nuts. You get what you pay for and more. Kenmore is the best brand on the market. Theyre reliable. They will fix it when it needs to be fixed with the warranties.

I love the capacity of this washer. Its not too loud and Ive never had a problem with it. It is economical, competitively priced, and easy to use. I love that it has a pre-wash setting for soaking extra-soiled items. I love this washers large capacity. I can easily do a weeks worth of laundry in just 2 or 3 loads. Its sturdy construction makes it easily handle even my large blankets and comforters without any trouble. I dont have a separate laundry room but this machines modern, streamlined appearance and the fact that it is so easy to clean makes it an attractive addition to my kitchen area. The moderate price of this washer and its solid construction make it a great value and a wise and excellent investment. Its price is easily paid off in the first few months of use.

Generally positive. Reliable and intuitive interface which makes it easy to use. Most importantly gets my clothes clean. Seems energy efficient. But it could be quieter though.

I purchased the Kenmore Automatic Washer model 796.3162#31# in 2016, and I had to have it replaced within 3 weeks of delivery. The water would not drain out of the machine. The machine I now have rips my husbands t-shirts. I have pictures to prove their destruction. I have had 2 different servicemen come out and it still occurs. What I have just discovered is there is a tiny barely noticeable metal wire that sets up and the clothes are getting caught on that wire. All of that money was spent on a washer that destroys my husbands shirts. I hope they are able to fix this issue.

Its easy to operate. Ive had it for 2 years not once have I had a problem with it. I able to do laundry at night because its quiet. It makes my clothes look brand new. Its very reliable when it comes to getting my Kids clothes clean. It works amazing for those hard to remove stains. It can hold a substantial amount of laundry. It helps when I have busy days, because I can get so much laundry done in no time. I love the color and everything is so organized and makes it easy to operate. I would highly recommend this to anyone, because it gets the job done and removes the toughest stains. It never lets me down. I can honestly say you get what you pay for. It may seem a little pricey but they work with you with your payments. It saves you a lot of time if youre a busy person. Its worth it.

I have model #11026132411 and when I wash my dark clothes they come out with white stains on them that are impossible to clean unless I wash my clothes in my daughters Whirlpool machine. I tried cleaning the machine, but that doesnt help!!! I am so frustrated... Another problem with this machine is that you cant modulate the water level. I am VERY disappointed in this machine. I bought a Kenmore because of Sears reputation.

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