This Kenmore front loader really does an OK job, but it seems to hold water in the rubber rings on the door and even after cleaning and always leaving the door open when not in use it gives off an odor. Would not purchase it again.

I usually do not like to read a long report so I will keep this short and sweet. I have had this washer for nearly 25 years, it has been as reliable as it can be!! I have never had to call for a repair person.

I have a front load extra large capacity washer with sensors that determines load size and how long, strenuous or light the wash cycle will be. So far, I don't have to worry about what I am washing - heavily soiled items, denims, delicates or bulky linens, this washing machine has done a perfect job. Love it!

We have been a owner of Kenmore products over the year including the clothes washer and dryer. The earlier machines were never as good as our latest model. For the past ten years, our Kenmore set has been serving us well and hope to get another 10 years or more. The features on our washer is easy to understand and use. Very energy efficient and gentle on the clothes, just wish that Sears Canada had to go out of business.

We installed our washing machine in 2001. It is still running great. We have had no repairs nor problems in that time. We wanted to update our laundry room but did not have the heart to throw out a good machine.

It's a good washing machine, would recommend! It is built well and have reliable! Had a Maytag and it is on par with that machine! Had a Kenmore for over 20 years and only replaced the pump once! Fit and finish are always good and paint is always durable!,

I have one old standard Kenmore washer that has been working and running w/ no issues. Easy to use. No problems. Had it for about 10 yrs now and still running. I think if it ever stops working I will stick to a standard one and not those new ones.

This HE washer is built like a truck and has been consistently reliable for the past nine years. It offers water settings from light to heavy loads with the options of extended spin and double rinse. There are five settings for water temperature from cold to very hot. It is quiet in operation and easy to clean. I have never needed a service call.

My 20 yr old Kenmore is still working!!! I would have to say that says a lot for the brand. It has all the standard features from 20 years ago. I have never had any service work done on it in the whole time I have owned it.

Bought a top load washer from Sears almost twenty years ago. In that time I have replaced the dogs, brake and installed a rebuild transmission myself. All for under $150. It is still going strong today. Parts and repair videos were easy to find online. They don't make them like that anymore.

My Kenmore washer has been 100% reliable since I bought it, no warranty issues, no failures, at all. It will be 18 years old in August 2020. I am getting a little bit of surface rust underneath the bleach dispenser, but I will clean up and repaint the tiny rust spot this summer. I can't vouch for the new models, but mine has been perfect.

I really love Kenmore washing machines. They have a great variety of different styles. They also have great prices. They definitely were built to last, I would definitely recommend a Kenmore to everyone.

Kenmore washers have been in my house since I was a little boy. We would stuff clothes in it as much as we could. It never broke down. However it was chore we all could live with. Even when I went in the military and college I guess I was really because they were always there. I'm in the process now of looking for a stack rack model, I hope Kenmore makes them. Now that coronavirus is everywhere you look we dont get out as much. Friends have been suggesting that I could go online and place an order. I tell them I am the kind of person that likes to see and inspect the items I usually purchase. Ordering online I have had my personal dissatisfaction with product that are not as they seem once it gets to your home. The material are not what you see in the picture. That's why when I buy Kenmore I am confident about its quality and value.

Very disappointed for the price I pay and This washer machine is been fix several times already. Pay too much. I request Kenmore to replace the machine but no answer. I just have to pay a deductible of $75 to get it fix. Don’t buy this product.

The machine is able to handle a lot of towels easily or bulky materials i.e. area rugs. Previous machine would not spin the water out, this one does a wonderful job. Practically have little drying time. Best machine overall from others I have purchased.

Great washer, never had any complaints after 12 years of ownership! I would highly recommend purchasing this brand or Kenmore Elite. I found the key (start/stop) buttons to be very easy to maneuver and is very easy to clean inside and outside.

I’ve had this washer machine for about 3 years. While it washes lightly soiled materials well, I do need to wash heavy soiled laundry multiple times. This machine has begun to accumulate a mildew smell. I have yet to identify the source of the smell. In addition, the trays where you pour your detergent, bleach and fabric softener fill with water after the wash. The only tray you can manually empty the access water is the detergent tray, this I feel everything else gets diluted. Overall it is an ok machine.

After Only owning the Kenmore frontload washer I noticed that it developed A loud squeal while spinning. The Sears repair person tried to convince me that it was normal, but I did not agree. He finally took some of it apart and tightened various parts. I would not buy this machine again from Sears.

I’ve always had Kenmore appliances and they have never let me down. Other people I know with other brands, have almost always had a problem with their appliances. They end up having to replace them often and that’s never cheap. My last purchase was 2 yrs ago and I haven’t had a single problem. It thoroughly cleans my laundry and never had anything ruined by it.

My first front loading washer and dryer set. It was amazing how well the spin cycle works and dries the clothes! Although the dryer is faster than the washer! Kenmore Elite is made by LG. Lastly it can update technician over the phone with Kenmore Connect!

My washer has been very durable however the renewal of the warranty is not affordable. I love the washer chosen because of being old fashioned. It has the agitator inside. The control panel is also very easy and understandable.

Design idea is great, however material quality needs a major improvement. Therefore a design mod is necessary. Rust at loading site and several repair calls to stop the balance issue with the tub. I like Kenmore products but made the mistake of going with their high end model a few years ago.

I do not use the machines myself, I do know my woman has them (Kenmore brands) for more than 15 yrs without any trouble. I find that to be very satisfying. Both machines have worked perfectly, longer than could have hoped for! I'm not rich, so that is helpful.

I have a Kenmore energy star, he washer, it is very efficient, reliable and one of the best washers I have ever owned. This wash machine is very easy to operate, with multiple settings. I am very happy with the extra large capacity size & clothes are always spun well. Also love the fact that it detects size/weight of wash & determines length of wash cycle.

It is the Series 500 High Efficiency model. I bought it 3 years ago. It took forever to run a load. Shook during the spin cycle. Call to have it repaired and the service man said that is just how it operates. It shook so badly that the spin cycle completely stopped working. I had to buy a replacement 2 months ago.

Reviewed May 19, 2020
When we bought the machine it had all the bells & whistles to include if there was a problem it would notify service. Most of these features never functioned and to have them repaired were extremely expensive. Therefore the fancy machine became a below basic machine that just did basic stuff. Not worth the money and won't buy Sears again. The appliance didn't last very long.

My Kenmore is the most reliable machine I have ever owned. From tiny one or two piece loads to the stuffed sheets and blankets this Kenmore can be totally counted on to thoroughly clean and spins out so well it just doesn’t take long to dry. Love Kenmore. Sad about Sears.

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

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

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

I have had my Kenmore HE2 Plus for several years. I bought it brand new and I have had to have it repaired twice but most times was a draining problem and once that was fixed it ran perfectly again. I also did not really pay a professional because the problem was simple enough for a friend to be able to repair.
