Just received our companion Kenmore Elite Steam HE5 Natural Gas dryer.   Absolutely beautiful burgundy color.  The sears installation team was terrific. Checked for leaks, ran me through the features and we were off and cleaning.  We have had the Kenmore Elite Steam HE5 Washer for over a month now... review »

 Well, here is the deal. My self and my wife are very busy. We don't irion.. When we decided to purchase the new Kenmore Elite H5 Washer and Dryer set, we saw the functionality of the Steam Dry option as a way to refreshen and rejuvinate those dress shirts that we didnt have time to irion the night before.. This is the greatest investment we both could have made.. I makes the fabric look like you spent time with an irion in your hand..

The Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer is big enough to fit a king size comforter,with enough space to put something else in it, but perfect enough to fit in a apartment.  Also, does not consume a lot of energy and it is silent.  Worth every penny.

This washer makes my clothes smell so fresh. In one load I can choose to wash up to three sets of sheets or a king comforter. There are so many settings to choose from that you can't go wrong. There is even a sanitary setting which will clean your washer. The time remaining and the buzzer when finished are very handy as well as the delay setting. The machine is so quiet. I even bought the matching dryer. i can't recommend these enough.

This is one of the best things to own. Having children and all the messes they make being able to wash 3 loads at once is very helpful. It may seem pricy but in the end you are really saving money! Best place to go is sears they really do seem to have the best price on this product. If your looking for a new washer/dryer this is it no more looking go get it!

My family had a matched pair of Kenmore Heavy Duty 70 Series which last 20+ years and still running fine (besides the dryer's solenoid had to be replaced that cost me 15.00) - My wife finally got tired of same old top loaders so she decided to toss out the old trusty machines and settle with these flashy and new look front loaders - I went on-line and did some research; although reading horrible story (which included this one) but based on our previous good experience with Kenmore products (we own Kenmore freezers too) we went on and bought the smaller model Kenmore Elite H3 dryer (along...

We bought the Kenmore he5 dryer with a companion Kenmore front-loading washer two and a half years ago and I enjoy them both.  Regarding the dryer, there are many options and temperatures to choose from.  To save even more energy, you can opt to set the alarm to beep when the clothes are considered "damp" via internal sensors.  I've used this in the summer or when drying sensitive materials that I don't want "completely dry".  This dryer also has the added benefit of drying fabrics that aren't supposed to go in the dryer.  It comes with a drying rack that you can set up inside the barrel (locks...

I also bought the matching washer. I can't recommend this set enough not to mention I lucked out and was able to purchase the discontinued Pacific Blue color in both for 50% off the white color for a savings of $1400 dollars. The fearures on both are outstanding not to mention they are quiet and energy efficient saves.

Spend less time ironing - SteamCare™ Touch Up relaxes wrinkles from loads left in the dryer or laundry basket too long Get the fastest and gentlest drying - EvenHeat™ technology reduces over-drying and the length of cycles (Among leading brand dryers) Dry lay-flat items like shoes and hats with the touch of button when you select Rack Dry - the Heated Dryer Rack dries three times faster than any other drying rack (Among leading brand dryers)

Easily dry large loads - dry bulky items like comforters with a 7.5 cu. ft. capacity Get steam, hassle-free - a Y-connector uses the same water line for...

I have never been happier with a dryer in my life.. this baby has it all!!  The Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam dryer has auto cycles with include..  normal, bulky/bedding, jeans, heavy duty, casual, and ultra delicate.  You then have your steam cycles, which are great... steam in a dryer.. fabulous!!  The refresh cycle and the touch-up cycles both use steam along with the heat of your dryer to smooth out wrinkles or freshen up clothes.  And there is no filling water tanks in the Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam dryer for it's steam cycles..no sir.. all you have to do is attach it directly to your water line...

The Kenmore elite steam HE5 is yet another Kenmore i love. I will continue to purchase these dryers. I have been washing clothes in mine for the last thirty days. I absolutely love it. Kenmor makes the best dryers. My clothes come out fresh from the steam everytime i put a load in. I never have to worry about my clothes becoming wrinkled when they are done. I aslo save money i my electricity bill every month because of the dryer. My family comes to my house and asks to use it sometimes. They always end up saying they want to take it home!

Already had the repair guys out 5 times in 3 months. The concrete weight broke in half, the drum struts stretched out, it jumped all over the place and scratched up the side of the washer.  NOISY and unable to maintain proper balance! I can't get the famous Sears service to fix it right! Will never buy Kenmore again!
