Kenmore Elite Oasis HE 4.7 cu. ft. Top-Load Washing Machine (2806) —

I couldn't wait for my 24 year old Kenmore washing machine to break to replace it with a high efficiency new Kenmore. Once it broke, I purchased the Kenmore Elite Oasis HE. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this washing machine. If I have clothes with stains, I am guaranteed that they will stay stained. No amount of pre-treaters or bleach can get the smallest stain out. My white clothes have never looked so dull and dingy. I would not recommend this washing machine to anyone. It is less than 2 years old and I had to have the control panel replaced. I wish I would have just fixed my old Kenmore, which always provided the cleanest clothes possible. All this machine knows how to do is spin. It has been a BIG disappointment, and the next time it breaks, I will get rid of it and purchase a washing machine elsewhere.

i hate this washer too! now i have repairs to look forward too in addition to all the other flaws!

I have exactly the same problems. It won't even wash mascara out of my washcloths.

"Big waste of money"
