kenmore washing machine —

I have had my Kenmore for a few years. I figured I'd give some tips incase you were considering getting one. Just FYI: when getting a front loader, be prepared to have clothes fall on the floor when trying to get them to the dryer. It's frustrating but at least you don't have to stretch if the washer is on a stand. I do recommmend the stands by the way. So convenient. Also, my sister taught me a trick. Keep the washer door open between washes. It's the only way to keep the mold away. It's not an ideal solution but other than weekly bleach and vinegar rinses and wipedowns of the washing drum, this certainly helps. I don't think the mold problem is exclusive to Kenmores, I think it's a front loading problem in general. Other than that, it cleans the clothes nicely.

The jury is still out on that one. I love the convenience of the front loaders and the fact that the kids can help. That's a big plus. If they can improve the design so it's not so stinky and clothes falling out when unloading, I'd do a front loader again.

Honestly my mind is not made up yet. I'm waiting to see what advancements in technology they come up with. I still like the fact that with a front loader, the kids can help load and take out their clothes. That's a big plus. I expect this washer will last a long time so let me see in a few years if I take another stab at it. By then I'll only be getting shorter and more frail ha ha so I'll probably still want a front loader.
