Favorable Review

As dependable as the sunrise

JUL

2008

My husband and I were in our forties when we bought our first house and needed a first washer and dryer to go with it. (I always thought that I would be considered a successful grownup once I owned my own washer and dryer and didn't have to go to a laundromat anymore. I was right.)

NEVER AGAIN get a KENMORE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!

OCT

2008

My wife and I got scammed when we bought a Kenmore Calypso Washing Machine and Dryer! They have shot craps since day one! The way Sears has handled any type of customer service is beyond us how they are still in business! If we never buy another Kenmore product it will be to soon! We also purchased a...

I love my Kenmore Elite Oasis

not very handy, picking up after pets, messy

DEC

2008

I recently purchased a Kenmore Elite Oasis washing machine. I just love it. I had a Maytag, and we had it for a little over a year. I put my sheets and comforter in there, and it just stopped washing. It took forever to drain the water out. We were unable to wash clothes for about two days, until I was able to get out and get a new one. We had a Kenmore dryer for about 33 years--it was 3 months younger than I was. So I decided to go back to Sears Kenmore. The salesman we had was great--very knowledgeable. He right away said he didn't recommend front-loaders. He recommended... review »

We had purchased our first new house and our first washer and dryer set and we decided on Sears Kenmore and are extremely pleased with them. I have know had it now for 3 years and it I am very pleased with their perfomance. We have the service plan and they come in once a year and clean both machines. This is fanstatic.

I just love my Kenmore washing machine

too busy to make beds

OCT

2008

I have always had Kenmore washers and dryers until someone told me try the GE, so I did. What a mistake. I was back this week shopping for a new washer and got a Kenmore again. I love it. The clothes seem brighter, and its so quiet, I have to go into the room to make sure that it's still running. I purchased the Kenmore 700 and would recommend it to anyone.

Kenmore washing machines are great!

2009

I have been a homemaker for many years. I am married and have raised three children. I have done plenty of laundry over the years. I do as much as three or four loads a day. I had a Kenmore washing machine that we bought from sears. It lasted for twelve years. Let me tell you I washed that poor thing to death. It gave me and my family twelve long years of service. It finally passed away. Well let's tell the truth I murdered it. I loved it so much that we bought a brand new Kenmore washing machine from sears again. It's more advanced than the the one I had before. They have done nothing but improve... review »

the Kenmore washer is the most amazing appliance

appreciate reliability

JUL

2008

When I purchased a mobile home in the early '80's, a Kenmore washer and dryer came with it. When I sold the home, I took the washer and dryer with me. Well, the washer gave out last year when a belt burned out - it could have been repaired but I thought it had well served it's time. The dryer - well, I am still using it.

I wished everything lasted this long!!

Staff member was very helpful in choosing my washer

appreciate reliability

OCT

2008

On 24 September, 2008 I went in to our local Sear retail store needing a inexpensive washer. the staff member on duty was very helpful, and understanding and help me choose the kenmore washer, it was inexpensive, and was very easy to install. You didn't need to be a genious to hook it up, very self explanatory. need more staff members like that everywhere

not very handy

I wish all my appliances lasted as long as my Kenmore. My husand bought our first washer and dryer from Sears, of course it was a Kenmore. They lasted 20 years and we sold them with the house we were living in at the time. We bought new Kenmores 3 years ago and I only hope they last as long as the first ones.

NO WARM WATER - POOR TELEPHONE SUPPORT

appreciate reliability

DEC

2008

Latest Kenmore top-loading washers do not produce warm water. I measured the Warm water to 73 degrees. This is "cool", not warm. I tried two different Kenmores (2942 and 2952 washers).

Customer service telephone number was horrible experience. 4 different people, had to tell my story 4 times. The first 3 took 30 minutes, so the 4th time was in the 30th minute plus. That person was not at all concerned with my frustration of the previous 30 minutes. What ever happened to customer service???

Other than that, the machine seemed well-built. But I returned for full refund.

I had and used a Kenmore Washing Machine for over 30 years.

I recently had to replace my avacado colored Kenmore washing machine. I had had it since the 70s and never had a problem with it until it just finally started leaking water after all these 30 years. Now that is a good probuct!!! I still have and use the matching dryer. I know products are not made that good anymore but as a single mom, I appreciate the many years use I got out of a Sears product.

Kenmore washers get boys clothes cleaner & last longer

messy

FEB

2009

my mom had 3 kenmore washers in the last 40 years, she only bought new ones when she redid all her appliances for color. All of them worked extrememly well. I have owned 2 in 25 years and just inherited a 3rd. Again I cant beat how clean they get our clothes. they are so sturdy, with a little maintainance as needed from Sears these may very well last a whole generation.

This is the worst washer I ever bought

NOV

2008

I bought the 600 Kenmore washer and dryer pair. The washer is horrible and when I asked for help from Sears representatives by phone and e-mail they offered nothing but read the directions. I'd already read the directions several times before calling. The agitator basket seems too loose. I've never had a washer that shook so much when it spun.
