I'm probably going to the Sears Appliance Outlet in San Leandro next weekend, so it would be nice to have a couple of Kenmore choices to pick from.
Sears washers and dryers are made by Whirlpool and generally have good reviews in CR. But that's from reading CR at my parent's house, and may not match the latest reviews.
Insent the CR Feb 2008 report to Suela; anybody else wants it, let me know.
I'm very happy with my Whirlpool Duet washer, another front loader. Again not the cheapest around but it is efficient, quiet, has a large capacity, and has so far gone 8 years without a single problem. Our dryer is a very basic Maytag unit, we basically tried to find an inexpensive dryer that could match the large capacity of our washer.
It looks like they've added new features since we got ours, or stopped making the relatively low end model. [link]
I have a Kenmore front-loading washing machine. I love it. I have had mine for 4 years and had another set for a bit over a year before that. I really like them.
I like my Bosch dishwasher. I am having problems with getting the dishes as clean as I would like sometimes though.
We got the Kenmore HE3's, but they were more than $1000. Also front-loading, quiet, efficient. We paid Sears for the maintenance contract, which I know people advise against, but we've already had them out, so we've gotten our money's worth. (Not a problem with the units, just with the conversion to propane.)
I won't ever set foot in a Sears again after the great air conditioner debacle a few years ago. Stellar lack of customer service. We have a great pair of LG front loading stackables. They are from the Tromm product line and have been amazing and are very quiet. They were a bit on the expensive side, but they have been worth every penny and were very highly rated when we purchased them.
Apart from the fact that youtube doesn't play for shit on Opera/Mac anymore, that's pretty nifty.
Haha. Awesome. Go underground Youtube advertising campaigns!
(The best part was when they made the Lemmings noise then 'sploded)
Huh, works fine on Firefox on the Mac.
I wonder if I have a copy of Opera that's up to date? I know I'm a tech dinosaur running Tiger...
