Great Buy
We are totally pleased with this washer. We had authorized Sears personnel deliver and install it because we did not want any initial problems and it has worked flawlessly for the 4 months that we have owned it. It cleans the clothes extremely well, even though it does not use nearly as much water as our old washer. We have saved money on laundry detergent too because of lower usage amounts. Furthermore, the final spin cycle works SO well that our clothes, sheets, towels, etc. go into the dryer requiring less time to dry, thus saving energy too. Two side notes: if you do not mind bending down a little lower, like us, then you will not need a pricey pedestal. And, keep the washer door open for at least as long as the drying cycle to allow the tub to air dry in order to prevent mold/mildew buildup. This washer is a great buy!

SAVE YOURSELF!!!PLEASE DONT BUY!!!
1) It doesn't get the clothes NEARLY wet enough to wash and clean clothes well. I literally sat on the floor in front of my washer with a flashlight because to my shock....This washer tumbles the clothes round and round and only slightly spritzes the clothes with water. From the "wash" start to right before "rinse" the amount of water was extremely light to really damp. The "rinse" part almost seems useless as the clothes barely went through a wash anyhow. 2) It has an automatic water setting feature, meaning it chooses the water level for you and there's NO WAY around this computer censored feature. So the days of soaking dirty towels, bed sheets, gym clothes or dirty kids clothes that you'd like to soak for 15 minutes or so in warm or hot water to loosen the filth and later wash well?? Well those days are over with this R2-D2 horrific machine. Please save yourself from the agony I endured...run don't walk! Trust my research I' settling on a classic. GE 3.9 cu. ft. Top Load Washer

First foray into front loader- still deciding.......

I bought this washer on November 22, 2012. I wanted it because of the energy/efficiency factor. Washes excellent, everything comes out clean. Good example is the funky dog bed I washed. It's an outside dog bed, fairly ripe and muddy. Came out smelling good and clean; some stains were baked in, so no hope with those, but took out most of the dirt. The washing part works great. Getting used to load size, on the other hand, I'm still deciding whether to scream or not. When I first washed some loads, didn't want to overload a new washer. Put in regular loads for an old top loader. Called tech after 5 consecutive loads got a malfunction code. He said loads were too small, need more clothes. Crammed it full, works fine now. Great washer for the Waltons or maybe the prison system. It's nice you can cram it full-less loads to run. But, you HAVE TO cram it full for it to finish a cycle without coding. Hope I never need to wash that one pair of jeans and shirt for a night out on the town.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Bad Bad Bad

This washing machine is so bad, I can't think of words to express my disappointment. My clothes are still dirty when they come out of the machine. My husband's work pants look like they have not even been washed. My whites are dull and grey looking & my colors are just as bad. We buy all Kenmore, but those days are gone - this is junk!!!

I got a Lemon

Last night I went to Sears to complain again about this washing machine, which I purchased 1 1/2 years ago, and the Sears employee told me that I must have gotten a "lemon" machine. From the beginning, it doesn't drain the water completely so I have to manually drain it from the pipe in the little door on the front of the machine after about 3 washes. Because of this water problem, mold and excess dirt collects underneath the rubber seal of the door. This has occasionally gotten on my clothes, causing horrible black streaks! Arg! I had had it and took a ruined pair of white pants to Sears last night. Sadly, it is out of warranty and I am out of luck. Arg again to you, Kenmore and Sears!

Powerhouse!!!

This puppy is awesome!!! We replaced a 20 year old Kenmore with this powerhouse. We bought it during Black Friday at an awesome price. It's quiet, has lots of dispensers and is very smart. I love this purchase and would highly recommend it.

Excellent Washer, Great Capacity

This is my first front-load HE washer and I am very impressed. The capacity is great (at least twice that of my circa 1990 traditional washer). Some of the cycles are pretty long (around an hour), but the capacity makes it no issue since I can wash so much at once.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Shakes the whole house

I would never buy this again if I knew of the way it would shake my whole house during the spin cycle and the unit smells moldy all the time. The water pools in the soap fill area and doesn't drain.

I have waited ALL my life for this washer!

Cleans everything exceptionally. I would have never believed anybody else saying it is so quiet you don't even hear it running, but it's true. I would never go back to traditional top loaders again. Weighs every load to adjust water levels and cleaning times... saving us alot on water and energy costs!

I would recommend this product to a friend.

My wife and I bought this washer to replace a washer that was so cheap that it wasn't worth repairing. We did step outside our budget zone a little with this washer and I am SO glad we did. The washer works great, the high extraction speeds mean less dry time and cheaper operating costs in the long term. We paid for Sears to deliver/install and remove the old machines and I am glad we did. The delivery guys were professional, friendly and thorough. They test ran the machines, ensured they were level and made sure they were clean and ready for us. Would I recommend to a friend, yes. Would I buy them again, absolutely!

The essentials without unnecessary bells and whistles

This front load washer works great, gets the clothes clean every time. Selected this model because it does not have unnecessary bells and whistles that we never use anyways. Sears installed it, and everything worked great from the get-go.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
