The dryer performed as expected, and generally got all of the clothes dry. Occasionally if there was more than a standard load or a heavy item, I had to put some things back for 10 or 15 minutes. I bought scratch and dent at an outlet, but it didn't affect performance and really looked good too as the dents weren't readily visible. I was happy with the purchase. Most of the time, it fit everything I needed it to. I found it to be very reliable. I never had any problems with it as there were no maintenance issues. I would recommend it to others.
Considering it was scratch and dent, it looked very good and would have looked good if bought at the regular store too. The dents were located where you wouldn't notice them unless you were specifically looking for them. It had the appearance of a normal dryer. While it didn't have all the bells and whistles, I felt that its performance was at least as good as the higher end machines. It was a great value as it got the clothes dry, but didn't cost an arm and a leg.

I've had my Kenmore for more than 15 years and it still works great! I've never had any issues with it and I would have highly recommend this washer to my friends and family. I can always count on my Kenmore washer to work for me. It has never let me down. My Kenmore washer has a nice and basic appearance. Its value is top notch!

It is adjustable for cold to hot water, fabric settings, large capacity for clothes, and works very well in all situations. I love the way it works and would recommend it to everyone. Kenmore is a great brand and things work the way they should, no problems so far. I can count on Kenmore washers to do the best job for my clothes and I do not need a more expensive brand. The Kenmore washer is very modern model and cleans up very well, has a color that matches any decor you have in mind and looks good too. I just love it. The Kenmore model value is great price, good for heavy and light loads of laundry. You cannot get a better value than this machine. It works great.

It washes all my clothes and keeps them smelling fresh for longer. It is also gentle on softer fabrics and doesn't cause intimates to fall apart. It is also very convenient and easy to use. It provides the best value for what it's worth. The machine has been working for 2 years and has not had any serious malfunctions and works as if it's brand new. It looks modern and new. Every time I have people over, people are always complimenting and talking about how good the washer looks in the room. Fits the house perfectly. Totally worth the price. I would not pay anything less for a better value. If I had the option to choose another dryer, I would still choose the same brand.

I've always owned Kenmore but this is my best washer thus far. The clothes come out so clean. My favorite is the sanitize cycle. Great when you have animals and kids. Holds a lot more than I realized. It really gets clothes clean and fresh every time. Dog wet on my bedspread. Was so upset was going to just throw it away. Decided to wash. Couldn't believe one, no smell but spin cycle dried so good. Was safe on low in dryer for less than 20 min. Love display front. Modern with the option to lock the door or stop to throw in something I forgot. Easy to clean with a quick wipe down. The front load detergent tray is easy to use and take out. Wasn't sure at first on cost compared to other washers. Was afraid to spend that much. Thought I needed bigger capacity. So glad I bought. Perfect for the price. Huge clean loads.

Has lasted for years after many uses and many kids with tons of dirty clothes and a dirty husband. Even had shoes thrown in and still runs like a champ. Plus no lost socks! Works every time all the time. Even dries faster than other dryers I've used and it's great for quick use, plus I love all the options. The price is definitely worth it. I love the appearance of this dryer. It fits my decor greatly and matches my washer perfectly even though they are different models. It's very sleek and looks like a much more expensive dryer and its a mid range price dryer. I love that it looks like a high end dryer. This isn't your mother's dryer, with the old knobs and buttons. I love how this dryer looks.

It gives a good drying! It doesn't take really long to finish a load. It is energy efficient and doesn't make noises loudly. Kenmore is a brand to trust. It has a big enough of area to put a huge load in, it doesn't mess up colours, it has a timer to tell you what cycle it's on. It has white for the colour, it's shiny that you turn the light on you can see it shimmer. It has a huge tub, it's the Kenmore brand. It's awesome! I can't remember how much we bought it for. In all honesty it was a good deal for it being a major brand. I recommend getting it because ours last a long time.

I would have to say I love my Kenmore washer as it's reliable, dependable and its performance is great. The family gives it a beating but it works great every time for us. Our Kenmore takes quite the abuse from our large family but it cleans reliable every time. I would recommend this brand of washer to any family in need of a durable and consistent washer. Its modern, high efficiency, digital readouts make it an outstanding washer to use. I like that I can see the settings in the dark as I'm up all night due to our large family. The reliability and consistency of our Kenmore washer is outstanding. It energy efficiency makes it a great value for our carbon footprint and our wallets too!

Very good reliable washer, not much noise while running. Would highly recommend to friends and family looking to purchase a washer or dryer especially of this quality. Extremely reliable, never gives me problems, has more than enough room for everything I need to wash including jeans and heavy quilts and linens. Great appearance, sleek, slim, and fits nicely in my kitchen. Really like the nozzles, easy to read and easy to use even if you're unfamiliar with a washer. Decent price, great value for those that are on a budget or looking to save on electricity. I noticed reduction in my bill in comparison to old washer of similar size.

It does the job. It works. It holds a lot of clothes. It's quiet so I'm able to use it at night without hearing any noise. It's 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.

It can handle a good size load of laundry. The results are above average. I would not expect anything less from Kenmore. It's not very loud either. It's nice to wash laundry and not have to hear loud noises. Kenmore has always been a reliable brand for years. My model is no different. I go through laundry rather quickly and I can count on it to get the results I need for a clean and pleasant wash.
It is white with a smooth finish. It has all the gadgets you need and more. My favorite feature is the wrinkle guard. Sometimes I just don't have the time to iron so it comes in handy wrinkle-free right out of the dryer. It's valuable because it saves time. Time is very valuable in my household. Some other models take longer to get the same results. This one is fast and effective and meets my daily or weekly needs.

It works every time I use it so I am happy that I haven't had to fix the dryer. My washer is me more and I haven't had to get that fixed either. I am overall happy with my experience. My washer and dryer both seem to be very reliable. I do laundry every week and it always works for me. Sometimes it makes a loud noise but it seems to fix itself. I consider it reliable. I guess the appearance of my washer and dryer is fine. They are both placed in the basement so it doesn't matter very much. If we move them upstairs I will want more attractive machines. My value on these machines is very good because they were given to my boyfriend and I and we haven't had to put any money into them to keep them working.

It works great when you have a full load and super easy to apply the settings you want. My clothes always end up wonderfully clean as well as amazingly fresh before I put it into the dryer or hang my clothes out to clothes dry. I find that this type of washer that I own is really reliable because I can wash whatever I want whenever I need to without worrying if it will break down on me just like my last washer. I all around love using it. I will admit that the appearance brings me to be satisfied with the product however I would like the appliance to have more color. White and black are such dull colors these days. It's drab. When I first got this washer I though the price was too good to be true. Fortunately when the manager to the store confirmed that the price that was posted was certainly true, I decided to buy it right away.

Our clothes always came out very clean using this washer and smelling great. My husband works in the motor oil manufacturing plant and he always comes home smelling of motor oil but using this washer, it really gets the smell out. This washer is very reliable and easy to use. We had Kenmore appliances before and will have them again... I have never had an issue with the Kenmore washer having any issues. This washer has a nice, sleek design and easy to use dials and knobs. It is also easy to read... No need to go find your glasses to start it. We bought our Kenmore washer at Sears and the associate that helped us was very helpful in finding what we needed and how much we were willing to spend and we feel we got our money's worth.

This washer is very good. It gets the job done and my clothes come out clean. That's all I look for in a washer. It doesn't have to be super fancy just as long as my clothes are being cleaned. It has never given me any problems. It has simple instructions on how to use it and it will be a reliable washer if you follow those instructions. It is just a regular washer nothing fancy. But it gets your clothes clean and it does it in a timely manner. I like a plain look to a washer and dryer anyway. I don't care too much for super fancy. I got this at such a good price. I couldn't pass it up. I bought it as a set and together they make the best washer/dryer investment I've ever made. I would totally recommend the washer and dryer.

Gets my clothes clean without damaging them, no matter what the fabric type. It can wash my delicates as well as jeans and sheets. I don't know what I would do without it. Always works when I need it, and never lets me down. It doesn't require a lot of laundry soap. Any brand will work and it's very efficient. That helps stretch the amount of soap I have to buy. Very clean and ergonomic design. Looks modern without sacrificing any of the performance. It's a bit of a workhorse, and can handle heavy loads while still looking stylish. Makes laundry less stressful. I can put in a load and even if I forget it, I don't have to run it again, wasting water and soap. Saves me money and time.

Had it for 16 years and still runs like a champ. No problems whatsoever. Still have the dryer, also runs and still spins great, gets the clothes clean. Spins well and is a heavy duty tub to fit more clothes in it. The dryer has some rust marks on the top of it from wear and tear. I do live in Florida, so after awhile this happens to some appliances. I have gotten my money's worth out of the washer and dryer for sure. 3 loads a week and 4 people in the house, it has earned its seal of approval.

They were good for a little while, then the dryer started to become less and less effective. You'd have to run the same clothes through 2 or 3 times even if it's a small load. The dryer was not reliable, it would not dry clothes the first time through after about 9 months. The washer was always reliable, the clothes came out smelling clean and fresh every time. They were fine appearance wise. Not too big or bulky. They were comparable in size to every other washer and dryer. I don't find them aesthetically pleasing but I don't need to, lol. The value of the washer and dryer was good, comparable in price to all the others. The only complaint I really have about the value is how quickly the dryer became incompetent.

I bought a Kenmore Dryer in July 2014. Within 9 months the Lint trap began to morph and catch clothing/linens thereby ruining many. Recently I looked up this issue on the Internet and discovered it is quite common. I have seen a few customers have received free replacement parts that will easily remedy this problem. Today l spent 2.5 hours on the phone asking for help to no avail. Every person I spoke with, there were 8: were professional, kind and understanding. I cannot boast more about the excellent level of "wonderful" your employees exhibit.
My plea is: Could LG please take a look at my machine and include it's model number into the small group "flashed" about this problem? I am hoping LG will agree to send the replacement part(s) to me without charge, as occurred with others in late 2014. My only mistake was not being computer savvy enough to find this site sooner at the best possible time. Because I need to use zipper mesh bags to prevent rips - my clothes are continuously wrinkled after drying. I am asking for mercy and help to remedy this issue, which is quite small in the whole scope of the vastness and excellence of LG. Thank You for your consideration. I look forward to your response.

Washed very well. I should have spent more money when I replaced it but I didn't. Live and learn. Stick with the best. It was a great washer. My Kenmore was a very reliable washer. It gave me years of clean clothes with only a few minor issues. It finally died of old age. I would definitely recommend Kenmore products. You get what you pay for. My Kenmore was the basic version without all the bells and whistles but don't let that fool you. It completely got the job done! Simple is better I always say!

Efficient. Handles any sort of wash that you throw at it. Heavily soiled to minor loads. Haven't had to have any maintenance after ++ years. Hasn't shut down or had any issues over the time I've had it no matter how big or small the load. Never had to call a service guy to look at it. Matches and looks modern so that it fits in any space that you may want to put it--laundry room, basement, sitting room. Sleek, white design. Had to take a couple loads of laundry in the laundromat when I was on vacation and you see how much it takes just to do a couple loads of laundry... up around $4-$5 in total.

Seems to be very efficient and effective. All controls are light and precise and the unit is fairly quiet as well. It seems to spin very fast which should reduce drying time. This unit has been very reliable so far. I have not had any issues at all. It should last at least 10 years but probably longer. Have read online comments that are similar. Very attractive unit. I really like the shape of the controls and think it looks expensive. Very smooth finish. Would highly recommend this unit to anyone wanting an attractive appliance. I think the price of the unit is reasonable considering the performance and the innovation that went into making this machine. Should be very long lasting.

Powerful washer provides the incredible clean that you expect your clothes to be. You can't go wrong with this washer. Kenmore has made me a happy customer for life now. It's very reliable. I have found this washer to be more reliable than all of the other washers I have ever owned. It's a bit on the small side and you have to be careful about the load size but it's a great investment. It's white. It's a little bulky. It looks just like every other washer on the market. The only real difference is this seems to clean better. The washer is the perfect size for a small apartment like what I live in. You can make it work room wise. This washer is a must. It does the job well and does not take up as much space as other washers tend to. The dryer portion of the set also covers everything you need.

We purchased model #28002011 Kenmore washer in 9/2011. We're 2 older people (no pets) requiring 3-5 lite loads of laundry a week. In the last year or more, the washer would add time while in a cycle. For instance, it would count down to say 2 minutes remaining, then adjust the time to say 8 minutes. When you're trying to perform other tasks this could be madding enough. Now after the wash cycle it would just click never performing the rinse or spin cycles. The serviceman informed us the washer's motor & transmission must be replaced at a estimated minimum parts cost of $250 plus labor. This was the worst major appliance purchase we have ever made. I don't believe trips to the laundromat would have been as costly & only less inconvenient in winter. I'm all done purchasing Sears products.

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

Works good to clean clothes fast for the man on the go like myself and that is what counts the most. Particularly I can indeed fit all of my needed items and have a small space left over most of the time. Sometimes I can't have all the space I need for super large loads but most my loads to all fit in one load. Description of appearance white in color. Do not care about how it looks much though it's simple quick and it gets the job done bottom line. Works great. Top dime for the dollar if you choose this brand. You don't holler for more. Top of the line. Made strong to last you long. Keeps going. Don't follow.

I purchased the 600S six months ago. I never have felt that my clothes are clean. We also use it for diapers and wash those on hot with two rinses. They always smell even when washed on two separate cycles. Always. Today I noticed on regular clothes on normal cycle with hot water normal clean that I could see areas of the shirts that no water had touched. They were dry. Sears has no method for me to provide feedback on this. So it's for you. Choose wisely. Don't be looped in by the deep fill - get something else.

It cleans very well and isn't too noisy. The only disadvantage is that it's sometimes easy to forget about laundry if you're busy doing other things. Maybe that's just my problem though. It has never broken or needed a part replaced. The only issue is that the vent leading to the outside has gotten clogged with lint. That said, it was easy to correct. It's minimal maintenance, washes a ton of clothes, and the clothes feel clean after drying. It's easily a worthwhile purchase with great value.

This dryer is energy efficient and extremely quiet. This dryer can gently dry just about anything: from sneakers and bedding to delicates and sweaters, and with low to no static. This is a very dependable machine. We have owned it for a long time and have never needed any service calls or repairs. I can almost time it to the exact minute when I put a load it - really helps with my home schedule. The model we purchased is sleek and white and adds some much-needed brightness to our tiny laundry room. It has a large capacity for its size, convenient storage pedestals, and even a lint trap cleaning reminder. This was an excellent appliance purchase. It was at the higher end of our budget, but we have never regretted it. Our clothing is gently dried with this efficient, ergonomic model, and we never have to worry about delicates being damaged or bulky items not drying properly.

Dependable, long lasting, power saving. The washer I had was given to me used and lasted for at least 10 years. The dryer saved me on time and money and also lasted at least 10 years. The washer was great as far as large loads of clothes. It did at least 3 pair of pants, 3 shirts and a few weeks worth of underwear in one load. I had a mobile home and the washer and dryer fit like a glove in the area that was made in the hall and it made the space look a lot brighter and more modern. The washing machine and dryer saved me a lot of money a month. It cost about 35 dollars a month to run both of them and saved me twenty bucks a month on gasoline for the car and it usually cost 60-70$ a month going to a laundry mat.

Dryer has been dependable for years. Gets clothes dry in a reasonable amount of time and we have never had any issues with it. I would definitely buy a Kenmore again. Our Kenmore dryer has been completely reliable. We have not had one issue with it. We've taken it on two cross country moves and it still works flawlessly. The appearance of our dryer is fine. It's not a showpiece but it's pleasant enough. It is white and has clean lines, with blue accents on the dials. I am very happy with the value of our Kenmore dryer. We bought it starting out in our first house without a lot of money, but it has been dependable and we have not had any reason to upgrade even though we could now.

The washer machine cleans clothes very well and even has a great soak cycle and the dryer dries in record time with a very minimum amount of wrinkles. This washer machine and dryer was just what I was looking for and well worth the purchase. I have not had any problems with either machine. It has exceeded my expectations. What initially caught my attention of the washer machine and dryer was that they both displayed a very modern and chic look. They both complimented my house very well. It's not a machine you have to hide. This product was well worth the value. I am a very frugal person so with that being said I was hesitant to purchase either product but I have to say after buying and using both modern appliances my verdict is they are well worth the purchase.

Simply love this brand of appliances and have owned for more than 15 years. Great service and warranty and will last a long time. Have been in our family for over 40 years. I have never had any problems with my washer or dryer from this company. They stand behind what they sell. Great overall value and I will continue to buy this company's products. Both are black appliances which goes with my design for the laundry room. The washer is a top load and the dryer is a door in the front. Great service from the people who know how to sell. You cannot beat the value from this company. A leader in the technology and will back up the service warranty. A great experience it is to own one of these appliances.

It was bright white and matched the paint in our utility room. It had smooth corners and looked very modern and appealing. Wouldn't change anything about it.

I can't get my clothes clean using the washer. Lint is left in large splotches on dark clothes or in a light layer all over everything. Customer service is non-existent. Everyone says the same thing, the machine is designed to operate like this and the techs have no background to adjust the electronics (could be water level sensor, could be software - the mechanic they send can't do any of it). I think it's actually dangerous to have this amount of lint in my house. It stays on my towels, linens, and don't talk about the mattress pad!

Immediately once I bought it I knew that it would be easy to use. After trying it for my first time I was hooked and it did the trick as it washed all of our clothes extremely easily. So far it seems extremely durable and works like a charm. The only downside is that you still have to remember when to get your clothes out. The appearance is what most people seem to want in a washer/dryer, a good aesthetically pleasing coat of white with some chrome around certain spots. It's definitely worth the price even if others say it isn't. I use it almost every day for all of my kids and my wife's clothes so you know it does the job for the price.

I would recommend it simply because it is a Kenmore and that's the only brand I will ever own because I have never had a problem with any Kenmore appliances that I have purchased over the years. This is a very reliable washer because it gets the job done in half the time and is very easy to use and operate. My washer has a full load of clothes done in fifteen minutes. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone. The appearance of this washer is simple and the exterior surface is easy to clean with a sponge and cleaning spray. I always wipe my washer down after every use so it doesn't have a huge build up of dust since it's in the basement. Very good value for the price. I only paid $200 for mine and it works just as good as the newer and overpriced high efficiency appliances which almost always break down at some point. In my honest opinion, older styles get the job done quicker than high efficiency pieces of crap.

It works okay not as good as new technology but it gets the job done. So far has only ripped a few pair of underwear. Sometimes have to put through twice for very soiled clothes.

Washer works very well and the dryer works very quickly and efficiently. Would like to get a bigger capacity dryer though but the washing machine works really well. The washer could be a larger so we could wash bigger loads and the dryer could be larger for big blankets and quilts. I could use a more efficient washing machine. Both the washer and dryer look all right but could be more rugged and sturdy. Maybe taller and less wider so they can fit in smaller spaces.

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.

These are quality built machine that last for years and clean very well. Even the simplest of the machines do a very good job of getting your clothes clean. These machines are very reliable and in the rare occasion that something does break, the parts are easy to find. They have been around for years and are very reliable. It's good for the simplest loads up to the dirtiest ones. Machines are quiet and work very well. Durable. I would recommend.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I got a Sears Kenmore model 92702 due to space limits. This model is a space saver in that the dryer is stacked on top of the washer. It has been many years since purchase, so price is not remembered, but I got it because it was the model that fit my needs. One of the most important reason for getting this is space and where it would fit, next is the various different wash and dry options. It has worked very well over the years. I have had it 15+ years. My next unit if and when, I will be looking for the energy efficiency factor, then at what it has to offer in load capacity. This model I got has five wash cycles, three load levels, and three water temps to use. The dryer part has three drying cycles, which is great for my needs.

I have grown up with Kenmore products. They are a work horse, durable, reasonably price and lasts a long time. I have had each product over 10 years. I don't even know the color or size specifications of each. If there ever was a problem it would be to call the blue crew. I have tried the rest. Now I will stick with the best. Kenmore or nothing. I was raised with these products. I don't believe in stackable washer & dryers. They are not durable and cannot hold enough. I had a bad experience with them. I am not picky of color, size, or price, it just has to be a Kenmore brand.

This is a very reliable washer! It washes clothes perfectly and cleans deep stains. Most of the other washers I've owned, my clothes had to be washed 2-3 before I put it through the dryer. 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. However, if you are richer I would consider getting the newer titles if you want it match the rest of your decked 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.

Problem is the model 417.91142000 dryer routinely ate our clothes by twisting them in knots. Contacting Kenmore was like talking to a wall. The unit looks fine. I bought it in 2001 and will NEVER own another Kenmore appliance. What I liked least about Kenmore was how they treated me. Appliances that eat my clothes are now on my never ever buy from that brand again list.

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.

We bought this Kenmore washer new on 07/25/2011. Less than 5 years ago. It is already making a terrible sound and we looked it up to see what it could be. Basically what is wrong with it is expensive and would be cheaper to buy a new washer. We have always used Kenmore because they last a long time, all our other washer lasted over 10 years. 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. So mad that it is not about the quality anymore but about quantity. Kenmore used to be the best. We have already changed our dishwasher and just love our new Maytag.

I bought a Kenmore front load dryer in Sept of 2014, have not had it for even 2 years yet. My issues started to happen 2 months after I bought it. First it was not turning off even when you press the cancel button. Had a tech come out and fix it. Today the dryer shocked me, burnt the closing door button and now it doesn't turn on at all. Called Kenmore and they will not replace it because my warranty is expired. I believe a dryer shouldn't shock you at all. Not even 2 years I had this dryer and it's broken. I have a dryer that's 15 years old and runs to this day without any repairs. Shame on you Kenmore for not standing by your products. Will not be a returning customer!

I bought a top of the line front loading Kenmore washer with Steam. I had it exactly a year and two days when I had to call a repairman because it was leaking water all over my basement. He said it was because the door was not closing completely and sealing; so, the water is leaking out. I told him that it was not coming from the front of the washer. He did not agree. The clothes that remain in the machine overnight come out smelling like mold wicked bad! The water is now pouring out of the washer and causing mold to grow all over my basement! I called for repair and they want to charge me $89 to come to my home and more for parts and labor!
This machine is the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned and that is saying something! I stupidly trust that the companies that my parents believed in are the same today as they were when I was a kid. We had Kenmore washers and dryers for 10 years before having a problem with 8 people living in the home and doing their laundry!! UNBELIEVABLE!! Never, Never Again!!

Kenmore washer model 110 - I purchased this washer on Dec. 11, 2015. Was told this is their most popular washer, can wash a king sized comforter, energy saver. Got it delivered and started using. From the very start it did not clean my husband's jeans and t-shirts. I have always Shouted the stains on his work clothes, washed them in cold water and always came clean, but this washer takes at least 1.5 times as long to wash and they come out just as dirty as they went in!!! I started trying different wash options which only add more time to cycle and still no difference.
I called Sears and told them I was dissatisfied with the washer and was told I have had it longer than 30 days, and I wouldn't be able to return. I called service who came to check machine and was told that there was no errors showing. Nothing he can do. I am so mad. Paid a lot of money for a washer that doesn't wash, and I have to send my husband to work with dirty clothes!

My husband and grandson both work in construction and have very dirty clothes. This machine does not get stains out. I need to always pre-wash and do extra rinse. This is not energy or water saving! I have allergies and use the free & clear types of HE detergent, but still need to do an extra rinse. We also have mildew problems even though I follow the directions for cleaning the machine. I want my old one back!

It is pretty good. Gets the clothes clean. The washer works pretty quietly and efficiently - it is reliable. It is ready when I need it. It starts easily and is easy to use. It does not require a lot of work or maintenance. So it is easy to throw in load of laundry and go do something else. The washer is ok looking - it is classic looking - white and clean looking - simple not complicated. It does not take a lot of spaces - fits in corner nicely. It is a good value - if I had to take laundry out it would take so much of my precious time - it is so much easier to be able to do laundry at home.

It works fine for smaller lighter loads and dries them in a decent amount of time. A full load of blankets, towels or sheets takes hours to dry. So long that I only let it run an hour at a time. It has lasted a good while and never had a problem except not being able to dry a full load of towels or blankets. I often clean the filter but every time I use it, it's clogged up again. It looks just like any ordinary dryer of that type. It doesn't have a modern appearance but the way it looks is just fine. It looks exactly like any other dryer from the same era. It seems like a fairly good value considering how long it has lasted with no problems.

It always dries really nicely and never gives me damp clothes. The controls are easy to use and the size is ideal for our home. I really like it! I have never had a problem fitting a load of laundry into my dryer, even a particularly large load or one full of bulkier items such as pants. The dryer is a nice size, compact and ideal for the space in which we keep it. It is simple but not especially plain-looking, thanks to its smooth design. I think anyone who has a small family and is just starting out will get the most value out of this dryer. It is perfect for a first home or apartment that is small and for a household that has maybe three to four members.

Gets extremely dirty clothes clean in one wash. Low energy so my utility bills aren't high. Great look, and easy to use buttons. Not extremely loud like my previous washer. Definitely big enough to fit all my standard washes. Sometimes my king size comforter can feel like a tight squeeze and the wash isn't the absolute best but it definitely works. Definitely looks great. People always notice it when they see my laundry room. Definitely a nice looking unit not a dated look of some washers. For the cost with the energy costs, its look, and how good the washes are this washer is definitely worth the buy. For its price it's hard to beat the combination of looks and features.

I have owned Kenmore products for many years.... With years of excellent service, I wouldn't own anything else! It is very easy to get service for my machine, if anything were to go wrong. I have nothing but high regards for Kenmore. My previous Kenmores gave me 15 yrs of service or better, now you can't go wrong with that. My laundry comes out the same every time, perfect. I will not change from Kenmore. Kenmores have always had a very nice look... easy to take care, the exterior is so easy to keep clean and the interior is beautiful. You will get many, many years of great service from your Kenmore washer or dryer... I have always bought in pairs. The value of my Kenmore products are not replaceable to me, I use them at least 3 times a week. I can totally depend on them to get whatever job my laundry has to throw at it!

It was very simple and easy to use. Put it on what time you wanted it to run (or by type) and hit the start button. It also would sound when it was drying. It was nice knowing it was time to get my clothes out. I hate wrinkles. When I had my Kenmore dryer it was constantly being used. I had 4 kids and 2 adults to do laundry for. The only time it didn't dry the way I wanted is when the lint trap was full. Sometimes I would have to dry towels twice; I have thick towels.
My Kenmore was white all over. Front loading, easy open and easy close. The control panel was on top extension. It made a clicking noise as you turned the knob. Writing on the panel was black and if I remember correctly brown. It did show dirt easily, so I was constantly having to wipe it down. I honestly don't remember what I paid for it. I know that it was the best value at the time. I know that I never did regret getting it or the price I paid.

I have never been so underwhelmed by a product. I don't notice it.. and that's how it should be. I'd only notice it if it was broken, or my clothes weren't coming out clean. I only have to do laundry once a week now, since I can get all my clothes in to my washer and then in to this dryer. It is very convenient. Why does a dryer need to look fancy? It looks clean and it fits in my closet and it is functional. It doesn't look chunky or trying too hard. This dryer has not given out on me yet, so I am happy with what I paid. Also, I got a warranty from the store, which is cool. Reliability adds to value.

The dryer was quiet and efficiently dried loads of clothes. It allowed me to dry different articles of clothing from regular to delicates. I would recommend this dryer to family and friends alike. This dryer was so awesome that I never had to have it repaired. It stood up to the number of cycles I put it through and I still have it to this day. I hope I have this dryer forever. I love this dryer! It was a beautiful white color that blended perfectly with my washer and the decor in my washroom. The writing and dials on the dryer were subtle and easy to use. This was the best appliance in my home. Not having to lug all of my family's clothing to a laundry mat is well worth what I spent on the unit. I can do my laundry in the privacy of my own home.

The dryer works great. The different settings allow for the complete dryness or just throw wrinkled clothes to smooth them out. The wrinkle setting works amazing. It has worked every time. Very reliable.... Always drys clothes in the right amount of time. Any time I had an issue it was easy to fix. I like the appearance. It is sleek and classic. I do wish they had color options though. It would be nice to have options so it could be a modern laundry room. Very worth the money. It's reliable and compares well to other dryers that are slightly above this price. Again it is really worth the money.
