Kenmore 4-Slice Toaster - White/Stainless Steel
We got this toaster a couple of months ago & I must say I love it! For one it's kenmore brand. Another reason I love it is because I can always cook everyones toast at the same time so we can eat together instead of only being able to do two at a time. This is a great brand & works so,so I highly recommend it!
Kenmore Elite 5-Quart Stand Mixer 400-Watt, Red
I waited several months before writing my review, I wanted to be sure the mixer would meet my expectations! It more than met my expectations!
I have a lot of physical problems with my upper body and was to the point of having to choose whether or not to continue making cakes, cokies etc. My Hubby suggested getting a stand mixer, I did a lot of reading on the various brands. I decided the Kenmore Elite 5 quart mixer sounded perfect!
A big bonus is the handle on the large bowl, this makes it so easy to pour into the pan(s)! The 3 quart mixing bowl is ideal for small jobs!
I used it to make 7 different...

Kenmore 7 qt. Slow Cooker w/ Dipper-Stainless Steel
My last slow cooker was a "cheapy" from Aldi. But I loved that thing. It stood the test of time - until it fell off my counter a couple of times. Needless to say, Super Bowl Sunday, I was expecting a number of guests and that "cheapy" crock pot failed to deliver heat. Hubby and I scrambled into the car with our children and headed to town. After checking all over town, we stopped into Sears. Instantly fell in love with this unit. Right price. Right size. Came with that bonus cute sauce warmer. Matched my kitchen decor. The crock part of my old slow cooker even fit inside of it!! BONUS!! The only...

Kenmore 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven, White
Kenmore 4-Slice Toaster - White/Stainless Steel
I remember feeling happy when I found this in my local Sears store. It worked well for the first 12 months until, almost concurrently, both sides stopped keeping the bread down (to toast). Fortunately, I had saved the receipt and took it back earlier today (you have 5 years to return it if it breaks). As it wasn't in stock I decided to spring a little extra and get the Kenwood Elite stainless steel one (which, incidentaslly, feels a lot more solid)
Kenmore Programmable Deep Fryer with 2 Frying Baskets
Kenmore appliance's are generally a good choice, but not this one. Woefully under powered, only 1500 watts for 3.5L of oil, takes 18min to heat to 375. Five temp settings @ 25 deg increments, 275 to 375. Difficult to remove enamel oil pan from outter shell when full of liquid, no handles, no finger dents, and the outter shell has a closed bottom so you can't push up pan to get your fingers under lip. Watch out for sharp lip edges if you do manage to pry it up. It does come with a two year warranty. Sears dropped the ball on this appliance!
Kenmore 10-Cup Food Processor - Black
I bought this food processor about seven months ago. It was the first new food processor I had ever bought. The motor seems strong and still works just fine. Unfortunately, the plastic parts started falling apart after just a couple of weeks. The top clasp, was the first to break, but since it was still functional, I decided to keep it. Next the attachment for shredding and slicing broke. Gradually, parts and pieces started cracking and falling apart. Now that it leaks I am ready to throw in the towel. Luckily I got the Sears warranty, so I should be able to return it. It seems...

Kenmore 7 qt. Slow Cooker w/ Dipper-Stainless Steel
This slow cooker is wonderful! It heats the food evenly and accurately. I bought it to replace a different brand slow cooker that was extremely hot when it cooked. This one is perfect! I like the stainless steel design and the programmable feature is a must-have! I can set it to cook on Low for 8 hours and if I'm not home when that eight hours is over, it automatically switches to Warm so as to not burn the food. I read the review about the hot handle, but I did not have a problem when I used it to lift the lid after the cooker had been on for 8+ hours. Very happy with this product!
