Kenmore Washer - Front Load HE2 Plus —
We bought the Kenmore HE2 Plus last summer to make washing a little easier and more enjoyable for me and to save water. It was the best buy I've talked my husband into in a long time. My only draw back is that I sometimes have to rewash some clothes that are stained because they get caught up in other clothes so they might not get the best cleaning the first time (but that could be something I'm doing wrong) and it didn't wash my king size comforter as good as I'd like. It took a while to get all the water out before I could dry it but again that could have been something I did. I do have a problem getting powder detergent at my grocery store that is HE compatible. I'm limited in brands which is a bummer. Otherwise, our clothes feel softer, more clean than our old top loader ever got them. I love being able to set the timer to wash at a later time if we are going somewhere and I don't want to run it while I'm gone. I don't go through detergent, bleach, or fabric softener as quickly as I did with our old one. It's easy to clean. I enjoy doing laundry. Infact the first time we used it, both my husband and I stood there and watched it turn for most of the wash, and then the first time my mother came here and used it, she did the same thing. It was a little expensive but well worth the price. They are big-we have the pedestal- so if something falls behind the washer and dryer, I have to put my youngest on top to grab the clothes as I push them up with a broom. It's not easy to slide them out. I now enjoy doing laundry, I just wish someone would come help me put the clothes away. :-)
