This washer has been well worth the money. This is a step up from your traditional top load washes but the money savings really paid for it. It cut our water bill almost in half on the front end and cut our sewer bill almost the same ( est. - 40 a month ). So 4 years in, it is paid its self off not to mention the savings in electric (this washer can spin out cloths at 1300 rpms clothes are almost dry before they go into the dryer. Its now been 7 years and we have our first trouble with it( code F06 = MOTOR replacement for us. 200.00 fix I did my self ). When we ordered the motor from sears they were in shock it went out. They said you can wash a load a day for 15 years. That was our problem, we washed 3 loads a day for 7years and we really put more in it than you should. We will wash king size comforters down to car mats, pillows to curtains, football pants to 15 pairs of pants. Oh this washer really cleans good even on the short cycles. While we were having trouble family would say go buy another, its been like an old friend you cant just throw it out. Since its been fixed we spend more time with it . We find ourselves gazing into its crystal door with a flashlight ,just like we did when it was new spin after spin. get one if can WE LOVE OURS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE4T KENMORE FRONT LOAD WASHER

Great Washer!  I have had this washer for more than 6 years, and it is still washing like it is brand new.  Definitely worth the money.  Large amount of space!  I have the bottom drawer as well.  It keeps from having clutter in my laundry room.  I use the skincare rinse all the time to ensure all the soap is getting out of my clothes.  It leaves my clothes feeling nice and comfy!  It does get a little loud if there are a ton of clothes/towels in there (during the spin cycle).  Still a great washer!

Works Great! February 10, 2012

We love this washer!

So many different settings and the chimes are very pleasant.

We've been using this washer for several months without problems.

Completely recommend this product!

As much as I loved my HE3T, I equally HATE my HE4T, which I bought in Oct., 2005.

As everyone else has stated, the spin cycle is terribly loud, and the machine vibrates much more than it should - never an issue with the earlier model, which was only 100 RPMs less.  The bleach and fabric softener dispensers remain filled with water, causing mold and mildew to grow, even though I leave the dispenser and door open after each load to avoid the front loader smell issue that many have.

After the first year or so, I started noticing an oily smell which has not gone away after 5 years.  However, the biggest problem occured this year.

In May, 2011, it began showing the F6 error, which still occurs even after Sears "fixed" it 6 months ago, for $275.  Now, an actual repairman wants $300 to replace the motor and tach. Very uncool to shell out nearly $600 to repair a 5 year old "top of the line," $1,200 washing machine.  Unfortunately, I will have to do so, as I am selling my home soon and the matching set shows better.  Save your money and buy a real brand from a real appliance store.
