    It cleans my clothing. It works well. I only needed to have it repaired a couple of times over the years. It sometimes did not drain. Both have had their issues from time to time. Usually inexpensive to have repaired. They have survived three children growing up. Both machines are white and have the look of a traditional washer and dryer. They are in my basement so they don't need to look great. Given to me as a gift from my parents for my new house. I do not know how much they cost but they have lasted over ten years now and I have had minimal problems.

    The only brand that lasts. It has a better cleaning rotation and it rings out the clothes for faster drying. The only brand I want to clean my clothes. Not a favorite chore doing laundry... but a good machine makes it better! The only washer drum that I can fit a king size comforter in... I really disliked taking those to the laundromat. In the old days I had to drive to the next town over... but now I can stay at home and wash them. It is a nice sparkling white color. I like its appearance. It looks good side by side with the dryer. I am completely happy with the appearance. The value is you no longer have to drag clothes to the laundromat with your detergent and fabric softener and hunt up quarters and drag it back home. You save time and gas money... Very valuable!

    Worked well for my big family. I do laundry about three times a week and this washer fulfilled my family's needs. I didn't have many issues. When I did, Sears fixed it. I still have this washer. Very reliable. Never ever had any issues. I've had other machines that gave us a ton of problems. This machine isn't 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 didn't work as well. This one is one of the expensive ones, but it's awesome, came with a great warranty.

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

    I absolutely love the see thru top.In all my years I have not owned a washer that works so good ever. I'm so glad I bought it. Best ever. I've owned it now for almost 2 years and it runs like it did the first time I used it. I have 2 grown daughters that bring their laundry over (1 has a 4-year-old and her boyfriend. The other is her and her husband) to use it and both were tickled with it.

    I LOVE the see-through lid! It's the first thing that drew me in to consider it. When I saw it was a Kenmore, I was sold. I've owned several Kenmore in the past and they have always outlasted other brands. I bought mine from Lowe's and it was on a good sale. The price was a little high for me but the sale helped a lot. I also bought the matching dryer. The set was on sale.

    It was big, and fit what I would call huge loads. It had a super fast cycle system unlike a lot of others that take for what seems like forever and my clothes came out more clean than with my previous ones. It would fit more than what I needed into it. When I would do a load of laundry it would actually be 2 normal loads, my normal loads. And to my surprise they came out more clean than I would have expected them too. I am in love with them. They aren't the newest looking with the clear lid or anything but it definitely gets the job done. Laundry is laundry. As long as the equipment does its job appearance shouldn't matter. It's well worth it in all truthfulness. I would buy it a thousand times over before I'd go invest in one of the fancy ones. These are exactly what I needed.

    My dryer dried all my clothes perfectly fine even delicates which I would dry on low heat or air - I would still own it if I hadn't chose to upgrade my washer and dryer after moving. My drying drum was more than ample size for all my loads of laundry from jeans to towels to sheets - I never had a problem with my clothes being damp or drying unevenly. The appearance of my dryer was not aesthetically modern like the digital ones are; however, it had all the bells and whistles to get the job done. The amount of money I would spend doing laundry at the laundromat was more than my monthly payment - Not to mention the amount of time spent away from home which has no value because it's priceless.

    Don't overload and use powdered detergent to keep the smells down. A good basic washer that got me through the births of both of my kids. Now my baby is about to graduate from college so that washer is long gone but I have fond memories. It was reliable. Put the clothes in and the detergent and about an hour later, clean clothes came out and I liked the fact that the water would start filling the tub with the lid open so pre-treating was easier. Rather simple and to the point. No flash or extra cycles that never get used, just the basic wash options like what people use on a daily basis. Since it's rather basic, the price reflected that and it was very affordable. And since it was a Kenmore, it was a good purchase.

    The washer does well. It has a nice capacity load and is a lot quieter than older models. You just have to make sure the lid is closed securely. I like the washer but had to replace the circuit board after just two years of washing, just hope this isn't a constant issue with it. If it is it might be cheaper to replace the washer. The washer is sleek. It fits well in any space you choose to place it. It really is stylish looking it is really different looking from older washers and others looking at it like it. As I bought the washer new I certainly did not expect to have problems with it after just two years of washing with it. I hope this problem doesn't persist.

    Sometimes I have trouble with it being too full, but it works well most of the time. I have had other washers that didn't work as well and shook and stuff. This is stable. It always gets my clothes clean and the soap isn't left behind on the clothes. I would love to be able to see inside, but this isn't like that. I just know that it is washing the clothes.

    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. It's a basic washer appearance. It doesn't look as high tech as some washers out these days, but it's still very nice and has enough nice features to get done what you need. It wasn't 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.

    My Kenmore dryers performance is efficient and gets the job done quickly and quietly. It's also easy to use and takes the guesswork out of trying to figure out drying times. My Kenmore dryer has plenty of room for all my needs. It's especially useful for washing larger loads of pet linens and bedding, and handles delicate clothing as well. My Kenmore dryer's appearance is good. The front load feature is convenient especially when drying blankets as being able to see items helps to know if things are bunching up. My Kenmore dryer is a good value because it is energy efficient and allows me to dry more items together which in turn means being able to do fewer loads.

    The washer is easy to use because you can change your wash load settings and you're 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 doesn't 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.

    It worked good. I just wished my clothes would get cleaner. It's like it didn't wash on heavy and soiled clothing. It didn't 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.

    The washer washed very well and was quiet. The dryer dries very well. I could dry large load in less than 30 minute. The washer is large enough too to wash what would normally be one and a half loads. I never had issues with either my washer or dryer. I have 3 teenagers who use the appliances also, and they pack it full but it also still work awesome.

    My washer is the common top fill and my dryer normal front fill. I do like that they are a little larger than the old school ones. The knob are easy to understand and push.

    When first bought worked very well for a few years then gradually started taking longer to dry loads of laundry. Worth the money though. I've only had to replace a few parts through the years but the dryer is still running well. Dryer belt seems to wear quicker than all other parts. The color of the washer makes it look sleek and also blends very well with my apartment walls. Although lint does accumulate on the top and is very visible due to the light color of the dryer.

    Works very fast and gets clothes very clean provided you use the right soap. Made sure that the lines are connected correctly. This was an item I bought on eBay and found that it was worth the price. Bought it bundled with a dryer. Cleans my items every time without fail. Only became unreliable when the top started to rust so I called the washer repair guy and asked to have the rust taken off. Instead they replaced the entire top of the washer. Appearance remained great until the rust showed up. The rust made the top of the dryer get dark and brown and strange. The appearance fell apart at that point. It was strange to see my clothes not look so nice at that point. It was very cheap, only a few hundred dollars so I was okay with the item totally falling apart when it did despite the fact that it was inconvenient. The value for me was perceived in the amount of money that I ultimately did not spend.

    The Load sensing Kenmore washer is outstanding. Nothing bothers me about it. I have been using it for three years. It takes extra large loads, and spins the clothes very well. Kenmore has an excellent reputation. Very few repairs are needed on Kenmore washer and dryers. I like how well the energy bills are. I have not had to make any repairs.

    We had both the washer and dryer and they were, although basic, very efficient. The pair was relatively quiet, and the washer had an automatic bleach dispenser. The dryer did a fair job. I believe these were near bottom of the cost curve. Even though we replaced both units, they were both in good operating condition after ten years. We gave them to a neighbor who had rental properties and they are still going strong there. There were some options that we did not have, and that we wanted, so we upgraded and looked quite awhile before deciding. We wanted an HE unit, and we wanted the "bells and whistles" that tell you when stuff is done. We wanted more settings on the dryer. So we went to Sears and actually found something that suited us very well. We ended up, however, purchasing Whirlpool, because of the customer service at Lowe's.

    The units were white. Dirt tended to accumulate under the lid of the washer and it needed wiped out regularly (which probably should be done at any rate). They were, as I said, pretty basic. White, utilitarian. Kenmore appliances, of any type (and we've had several so I can say this from first-hand experience) are some of the best appliances available anywhere. The units range from basic to sophisticated, and the price tag increases as the options are added. In the long run the value is, in my opinion, excellent. I would highly recommend any Kenmore appliance.

It did fit in but there was not much room for tumbling so I had to stop and reposition it myself several times to ensure complete drying. Note to self-> in the future don't buy the matched pair especially since there was no cost savings in doing so. Other than that it dries fine.

    I don't need a lot of bells and whistles so I looked for a basic washer. Good ratings are paramount if I don't have a relative's or friend's recommendation; and of course I always want to find it on sale with free delivery. Having repair issues are always a red flag but especially since our set-up is on the second floor I avoided any models w/ reviews that had a mention of "leak" issues. This is a basic full size washer with a lot of different settings to choose from if needed (Normal; Delicates; Bulky/Bedding; Whites; Heavy Duty; Casual; DeepWash; Express; Soak). The dryer has the usual basic cycles. It has a end of cycle buzzer that can be switched to off if so desired. There is an inside light. The door opens down (instead of to the side) which is nice to catch what is being taken out. The washer/dryer pair ran about $947.00 after discounts.

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

It works very well. It is very heavy duty and built very high quality. It has never broken down. I had it for about 10 years before I needed a new one.

    Best washer I've 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. I've never had to have it repaired in the entire time I've 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. It's neutral in color so it matches any room you need to put it in. It's certainly one of the most visually attractive models I've 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 don't have to deal with a lot of repairs, and it won't cost a lot energy wise.

It holds most of my load! I appreciate that because I tend to do my laundry often and I need many clothes to be washed. However if it's overloaded then it gets overpowered. Though it's not the most appealing look, it doesn't look like complete trash. It's very suitable for an average home.

    Last year we bought a Kenmore series 500 HE washer when our old one quit after many years. We had never had a high-efficiency one before. Using one of these was a bit of a learning curve but it was a short curve once we realized the do's and don't with a high-efficiency unit. Now we really like it. Definitely saves water but it takes about an hour and 20 minutes for a normal load compared to about 35 minutes with our old one. We bought the Kenmore because it had the most features on an HE unit we wanted for quite a bit less money than some other brand name units. The Sears salesman told us who made this Kenmore and it was almost identical to that brand that they also had at Sears but for $100 more. The Kenmore also had free delivery, setup, and take away of the old unit. We have always bought Sears brand major appliances with great success.

    Sears has really gone downhill on their service and parts business. So far this washer has performed great with no problems but if the reliability of this unit is not up to what we expect from Sears then next time I might try another brand. The cost savings buying a Sears product is usually worth it especially since no matter what kind of appliance you buy, you can find out which major company built it for Sears at that time, then you can check online and find out if the reliability of the machine makes it a good buy. We did this with the Series 500 Kenmore we bought and so far we are happy with it.

    We wanted a large capacity heavy duty washer that was a high-efficiency model. The washer had to also be pretty much a standard size to fit next to the dryer in our existing laundry room. This series 500 filled the bill. It was just a bit bigger than our old one and the same size. We did not buy, nor did we need, options like smaller baskets and such. We are happy with just the standard package at a discounted price from Sears.

    Kenmore 3.5 cu ft. top load washer. Brand loyalty from previous appliances was the reason for the purchase. Had the washer for 8 months, and there's NOTHING to like about it. It rarely puts in more than 3 inches of water, so the clothes are just rubbing against themselves causing pilling, twisting, and tangling. Sheets and long sleeves are always so twisted in knots you have to stand there and untangle. (With shirts this means ironing is usually required.) And, do we really know how clean anything is if all it's doing is rubbing against other pieces? It reminds me of women banging their clothes on rocks at a stream. Yes, there is a setting called "Deep Wash" which puts in 5 inches or less of water, (measured with the wet clothing also in the machine) and clothes still spend all their time rubbing against each other. This is Not due to over-loading, as I rarely have more than half or two-thirds of a tub-load of dry items.

    The setting called Bedding or Bulky, eventually, after 10 minutes of spinning, and occasionally adding a bit more water, gets enough water in to keep the clothes from rubbing against each other, but by that time the cycle is mostly finished and the clothes and/or towels have spent the majority of the "wash" cycle just being banged against each other. But this cycle does not spin the clothes very dry, and so sometimes with jeans or towels you need to go back and turn it on again to an additional spin cycle. After using the machine for awhile I now know the salesperson knew nothing about how it actually worked. For me it has added LOTS more work by having to go back and add a additional cycle, by now requiring ironing of men's shirts; and for having to separate and hand-wash knits, sweaters and delicate items as they cannot be included in a regular wash, but are way too few for their own cycle.

    This washer performed very well. At times, the rotation device in the center would come unbound, but it is an easy fix. Overall, it is cost efficient and relatively compact for our living area and I'm enjoying it. I have plenty of laundry to do, and this washer can hold it all. It has never need anything but a do it yourself repair. The washer is very good at washing. I don't enjoy cubical shapes as I have an unnatural fear of them (my doctor told me). Other than the shape, the color is good and it can fit into any reasonably colored room. For all of the use I got out of it, I would say it is underpriced. It is really that good.

    Kenmore Elite HE 4 - Since 2004 I bought the pair. It cost a lot over 2000 but worth every penny. I put a long term warranty on it. Worth every penny. My first front loader in over 20 years and I can't say enough about it. I have it serviced every year to be sure it is running right. I love this machine. I had the matching dryer but it was gas and when I sold my home I moved into an all electric apt. Would love to find that dryer. I had the stand for it. I carry a long term warranty on it. A great machine.

    Kenmore Large Capacity washer - Have purchased Sears appliances for years. Quality of washers - well made and always lasted for years without major problems... until now. They are no longer made in America and this last one we bought has had numerous small problems in the first two years. Probably will not buy Sears again. Also, Sears does not give routine warranties. We had to pay extra for it.

    The worst purchase we made was stackable washer & dryer. The problems started almost immediately with problems of balancing loads, noise, dryer not efficient, always took longer to dry than normal. We sent it back!! Then we got the side by side w/d which is OK, but still the quality is not what it was. Also, be aware that if you buy from one of the home improvement stores they do not cover the warranty! You have to contact the "customer service" for the brand and they will refer you to a "local" appliance repair person. And, if you live in Hawaii, it can be on the mainland!!! Go figure!

I liked how it dried things very efficiently, but like I said before, I'm not happy about how hot it made my house. It is quite attractive. It looks very modern and it's the best-looking dryer I've ever owned. I have other issues with it, but not appearance. The value is average.

Two different people came out and they got it working and when we went to wash clothes, it is back to getting the F35 code and SUDS. We have been using Pods for a long time now, but it is a piece of garbage. I would rather have a regular washer with the agitator, nothing with electronics. It is so not worth it.

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

    The Kenmore brand has been a good brand for me. I've had my washer and dryer for over 10 years and have only had to make a service call one time under warranty. Since the warranty has been up, I have not had to make any service calls. The only thing that has bothered me is the odor which smells like mildew coming from the washer after the lid has been closed for a while. I solved this odor problem by sprinkling baking soda over the bottom of the washer tub. The clothing that gets washed in the machine does not smell like mildew.

    My parents had Kenmore appliances for years. They owned their own home so it was possible for them to buy appliances as they were needed. As a renter, I have to abide by landlord rules and get permission for the purchase of some appliances. It wasn't until I moved here early in the 2000s that I even had a washer and dryer hookup in a rental unit. Since my parents had good luck with Kenmore appliances, I decided that my washer and dryer would be Kenmore.

    Lady Kenmore super capacity - It was top of the line at the time, $600.00. Electronic sensor temperature settings. Everything from heavy soiled cotton settings to delicate settings. Powerful motor. Kenmore from Sears that was bought in 1992. It was reliable. It had the largest clothes capacity at that time. I have absolutely no complaints about this washer. I have had this appliance for 24 years.

    I look for top brand names with stellar operational ratings. I look for online reliability reports. I look at price and warranty. I look at customer service records. I will only buy super capacity washers. I am not concerned about energy efficient ratings. If the washer is reliable, I am willing to pay the price. I will always go with name brands such as Kenmore or Maytag. I have never had to repair my Lady Kenmore washer in 24 years. If the washer frequently required repairs, I would steer clear of the brand from now on. I have had no problems with paint chipping nor any problems with the appliance eating my clothing.

    My Lady Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care Heavy Duty 90 series has been fantastic. It has 8 temperature cycle and 5 cycle modifier settings. It was the most expensive washer at the time but well worth the money. This washer moves an oversized load of clothes just as efficiently as a small size load. The electronic temperature settings are an added benefit. If you are washing clothes in the winter and need for the water to be properly balanced, this will electronically monitor the temperature of the water and will create the proper amount of hot and cold water combination for the desired suitable water temperature. This product is wonderful!

    2 years without a problem. Simple controls. Have dials so push buttons don't go bad. All I have to do is select the soil, water temp, and fill the tub. The machine even knows how much water to put in by how full the basket is. I had been shopping for a new set for some time. Most brands nowadays you have to have a degree in engineering to operate them. I needed something I could hook up and go. I don't want to spend a lot of time figuring out how to run the appliance. My set is so simple to use. No electronic parts/push buttons. Just turn the dial to your preferred setting and water temp. The water level in the machine is determined in the machine by the amount of clothes put in. So simple. Clothes come out clean. The dryer is just as simple and the clothes come out almost wrinkle free. No fuss. Able to get all the weekly laundry done in one day.

    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 weren't 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 children's rooms and if I don't 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 don't 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 spoke with a gentleman who knows washer and he said they are made to break now. I will be switching to Maytag. I guess they still will run the 10 yrs or more.

    It was very efficient. It only took once to dry one load. I only had to clean it every two weeks. It was also very energy saving. It was twice as big as the first washer I had. It also saved energy and cut my light bill down. It was very space saving. It only took up half the room my first dryer did. The door was strategically placed so that it didn't take up much room when opened. The dryer itself was $250, reasonable for what you got. The shipping and handling fee was $89, a little high, but worth it. Overall a very good deal.

    Washer lasted for ten years as well as the matching dryer. We just replaced because of fire in dryer and gasket and drum broke in washer which resolved in a leak. Washed and dried clothes. Dryer had to be put in twice to actually dry the clothes. Washer had a smell if I didn't wash every day, so I bought a Tide detergent that cleans front end loaders and that seemed to help. They were a beautiful color of burnt orange. They never got scratched and looked as new as when I purchased when they are taken away 10 yrs later. They were a good value lasted for 10 yrs only fixed once. They washed 15 towels easily. Dryer just didn't dry as well.

    I have had it for almost five years and so far they have worked pretty well. I have not had any trouble with either one of them in last five years. The reliability is very good in the way it washes the clothes. For one year I had a warranty on this particular washer. The appearance is fine. It looks good where it is at in the kitchen. It is also functional for everyday use. I live in a small place. The size of the washer and dryer just fit into the space. I use to go to the laundromat. I would spend fifteen to twenty dollars at the laundromat. I think that the washer and dryer paid for itself in the long run including gas mileage.

    Bought 5 years ago, never had any problems or technical issues yet. Works perfectly, I'd never want to use any other clothes dryer. It dries quickly, leaves no residue or lint on my clothing. I've used this clothes dryer at least twice a day since I bought it in 2010, and it has never given me any problems. It washes baby clothes, beach towels, blankets, crib bedding, even curtains. It's simple and sleek, not bulky or difficult to read, it fits snugly beside my washer and has a large door to make loading and unloading very easy to accomplish. Great value for an amazing product. I'd expect to pay 30% more but it was a great deal. It works very well and is very reliable. I haven't come across a similarly priced machine that is as great as this one.

    I always get the most powerful wash even on the delicate cycle. My clothes always come out clean and after the wash they seem almost dry because the washer sucks up so much water. It's wonderful. It cuts down dryer time which saves money. I have been able to overload the washer, even though I shouldn't in a rush. I was able to wash two queen comforters with pillow cases and sheets from two beds. Yes that's bad to do but somehow they still came out very clean even with little run to move. It's very neat looking. Fits any laundry room from basement rooms to the most high end laundry rooms. Is it the sleekest I've seen? No but it's very simple but shows you care (If that makes sense).

    It performs as normally as any other washer. I like the different options and settings when washing and the fact that it is a front load instead of a top load. I have had this washer for about five or seven years now and it still works very well and washes my clothes as if we just bought it yesterday. It is a front load washer and it is white. One thing that I like about the washer is the different settings when washing and it also comes with a display as well. I'm not really sure about the value of the product for the money it is worth because my parents bought the washer a while ago for themselves and then gave us the washer and dryer for me and my fiance when we moved into our new house.
