Kenmore appliances are fantastic. Great quality that always work and clean my dishes to perfection. Would recommend to anyone. The way that my dishes come out after being washed is like diamonds. Kenmore are just an overall great brand.

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.

Our Kenmore washer and dryer are quiet and reliable. We have been so satisfied with all of our Kenmore products that we have owned. They carry a great and dependable warranty and offer quick friendly service if needed. The service reps that delivered our appliances were friendly and appeared to be very knowledgeable on their products. They took their time to explain the operation of their product and answer any questions we had. Sears will be the first place we look for any household product we may need.

I use my washer and dryer at least 3 times a week, and I love the fact that both machines work as they should, every time without a hitch. Further, they get my clothes completely clean and dry them exactly as I want -- totally dry for most things and slightly damp for the items I want to iron. I would never buy another brand.

I've owned them for 4 years with no breakdowns. I've never even had to have a repairman come to fix anything. Even though I'm now single, I think I use them about the same as I did when I had a full house of family members and knowing they're dependable makes living alone very simple.

I owned a front load washer and dryer. I enjoyed the large amount of clothes that I could wash and dry. Even comforters were no problem for these machines. Unfortunately when the belts went out, it was not possible to have them repaired. The cost of repair would have been substantial. It was more feasible to buy a used washer, not a front load unfortunately. Keep up your extended warranty if you can afford it, and this will be the best washer and dryer you will ever own.

I had this washer for about 15 years. It stopped spinning the clothes dry. Instead of spending money for repair, I decided I would just buy another washer.

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

We were very happy with our Kenmore washer and our Kenmore dryer. We had the washer for about six years and the dryer for about eight years. I think we might have had work done on the washing machine once, and never had to have work done on the clothes dryer. We had two children, both girls, and they would change clothes two to three times a day. I also washed and dried all my work clothes. I worked at a machine shop, so my clothes got really dirty. I was very happy that the washer and dryer lasted as long as they did. They were both worth the money we paid for them!

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.

We've had our Kenmore washer and dryer for about 6 years with only one minor problem. The handle of the dryer broke but was replaced by a service tech completely under the warranty.

I had this brand for about 7 years. They worked very well up until the washer knob stopped working unless I put a fork behind the knob to hold it in place. Also when I opened the lid, it would not stop spinning which is dangerous. The dryer did fine until the motor stopped spinning and it wasn't worth fixing. Good reasonably priced brand.

I have owned by Kenmore Washer and Dryer for over 20 years. It has been reliable and I have had only a couple minor issues with them, but not bothersome enough to call for repair. Occasionally, in the washer, a load will become unbalanced and because I am not strong enough to adjust the feet on the bottom, I just rearranged the clothes inside the washer to stop the loud banging noise. With the dryer, the only issue I have is that it seems that the heat sensor might be off a little because it feels to me like the dryer is always drying on a high setting not matter what setting I select. To deal with this on my delicate fabrics, I dry them on touch-up which is a somewhat cool setting. But I would say for owning these appliances for over 20 years, I am very satisfied with them.

The first refrigerator I owned when I moved out on my own was a Kenmore. It came with the house I bought and it was new. I never had any problems with it.

Kenmore #61722, 27" laundry center - I needed a stackset to conserve space. My local Sears employee did not recommend buying one. Later, I was where I could read reviews. I did not want buttons at the top. I am 5'2. I like the stainless steel and size of this tub. I had reservations about a water sensor and reviews of the stacksets being noisy. I now have had this model 5 months. I sometimes need to push refresh to make sure clothes are dry. I can turn off the chime. I wish it had the option just to spin. My roommate says the express was sometimes needs to spin longer but I have not had that problem. NOT noisy. My electric bill has gone down!

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

I have both a Kenmore front loading washer and matching gas dryer. I have had them for about five years and have found both of them to be both durable and long lasting. I wash a lot of clothes through them including all the mom heads, aprons, and rags from the restaurant and they have never shown any sign of faltering. The washer gets out all of the oils and grease from the rags no problem. I know this is not how you are supposed to use a household machine but it doesn't bother it. Thank You Kenmore.

Recently purchased a washing machine and dryer of Kenmore. It was the best decision me and my husband made. Our clothes are a lot cleaner, they do not stink any more and the machines are energy efficient which is great for us saving money on water and power. The washer and dryer both let me know when the clothes are done so they do not sit in there long. Washer and dryer are both very quiet which is a huge plus. Comes with a great warranty. We have never been happier with a washer and dryer set. Clothes are cleaner, fresher and wrinkle free. I would most def recommend this brand to someone.

My dryer is easy to use. It has a dial to turn to what setting the dryer needs to be on for your load of clothing. It is simple to use. It is a straightforward dryer. I don't like the lint trap because if it gets overly full the material will drop down into the machine, and the material is hard to get out of the dryer. Currently I need to clean the lint out of the machine because the dryer is not drying as effectively, and that is my only complaint about the dryer. Otherwise it is a great dryer.

We purchased our Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam dryer 5 years ago. We have been satisfied with the performance. Recently the dryer malfunctioned. It would turn on, but would not begin the drying cycle. Online it was recommended to replace the thermal fuse for under $20. I replaced the fuse and the dryer still didn't work. I scheduled a Sears repair technician to repair the dryer. He determined that the door switch malfunctioned. He said he normally carried on, but was out. After checking he determined that the part was on back order for the next 2-3 months. I called local suppliers and they stated this is problem with the model and there were 15 in front of me waiting for the part. I contacted Sears and they were of no help. Their solution was to wait for the back ordered part or buy a new dryer. Sears was of no help. If anyone has a source for the door switch it would be greatly appreciated.

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