Kenmore High-Efficiency 2.7 cu. ft. Front-Load Washing Machine (4041) —

If you live in an off grade home.. this washing machine will shake your whole house during the spin cycle. I had to buy shock absorbers for the washer, and it still vibrates the house. At 1025 rpm for the spin cycle.. its crazy that there is no internal shock absorption. The sales staff did not warn be about this and I bought the machine at Sears! in the store.. which is now closed.

I had very poor installation service, very poor customer support. The machine is not large capacity.. but it does save water! Clothes are clean. I just try not to use it.. never use the high spin cycle.. just use medium or low and spin it dry a couple of times.

Beware the matching dryer.. the auto sensor doesn't work well & the repair team doesn't seem to acknowledge that readily. Further.. no one has a level.. so get a handy man to help you after Sears delivers.

Sad day for a Kenmore fan.
