nitln5 says "Loyal Kenmore consumer goes elsewhere! Disgusted!" about Kenmore Dryer

nitln5 — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 03:36:26 GMT

We replaced a very old but trusty stackable washer/dryer (not a kenmore) with a Kenmore washer/dryer. This wasn't the most expensive nor the top of the line, but we bought Kenmore since it was so highly recommended! 5 years now and the heating element is done! The cost of repairs: $249.95 plus it cost us $80 for the technician to come to look at it! Ridiculous and shows how the repair business is the cash cow!

We just bought a Kenmore Grill and it too was not quality. Brand new out of the box, paint was chipped and part was RUSTY!!! We have gone to Sears for their pride and joy Kenmore brand and i am not sure we'll go back to Sears or Kenmore again.

DeniseDonohue says "do not buy a Duet" about Whirlpool Duet Dryer

DeniseDonohue — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 03:18:25 GMT

I have had it up to here with the Duet washer and dryer. Mine are 6 years old - perhaps something has changed dramatically, but I am disgusted by the Whirlpool, Maytag and Jenn-Air appliances. (We are typical family of 4.) Dryer lint trap, being vertical, allows items to slip down the sides. Coins, shirt stays and guitar picks have all slipped through the lint trap sides before we figured this out. Several coins rolled onto the mother board over time, eventually shorting it out!!! This was an expensive sales call. You try to check pockets - but don't believe that nothing can slip alongside lint trap. Also, the narrowness of vertical lint trap makes it so you cannot get your vacuum nozzle into it (even w/attachments) to suck out lint that gets past the lint trap. AND they don't make a special brush for cleaning it out either. I have similar complaints about the washer.

drea7467 says "Buyers Beware" about Kenmore Dryer - Kenmore Oasis - Canyon Capacity

drea7467 — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:51:34 GMT

I purchased the Kenmore Elite Oasis mode 67087 in January 2007. Worked fine until approximately one month ago when it began beeping mid-cycle. I looked over the control panel, no indication of malfunction on the display, just 3 fast beeps. I have already replaced the control board in the washer, so I know the headache/heartache of dealing with Sears, so I left it alone. Last night the dryer beeped itself to death. I heard it beeping non-stop, again went to visit the displays, no indication of a problem, stepped away from it, and it just stopped running. The cost to replace the control board is approximately $120-which I will purchase and replace myself. I will not buy a digital display product ever again.

Fantasmo says "Does the job okay." about Kenmore Elite Electric Dryer - HE 4

Fantasmo — Sun, 17 May 2009 23:24:21 GMT

My Kenmore Elite Large Capacity dryer does the job okay, but on many ocassions, it doesn't dry the clothes completely and I'm having to put them through another dry cycle. So, the "Energy Saver" feature is almost a mute point. It has issues with leaving "spots" on my clothes as well. I believe a piece of the baked enamel has come off somewhere within on the drum. I had a dryer that did that before, as well. I do not especially care for the drop down door feature either. It makes it really difficult to get the clothes out of the back of the drum. I find I'm having to all but crawl inside the dryer to remove my laundry!

But, the machine was given to me. However, to replace it, I would look at something with a door opening from either side, and something that had a higher rating on drying time.

On the up side, it is a quiet running machine. The lint filter is right inside the door and is easy to remove & replace.

austinmom123 says "A dependable workhorse washing machine, quality built." about Bosch Dryer - Nexxt 500 Series

austinmom123 — Fri, 15 May 2009 13:58:03 GMT

We purchased this washer and dryer because my husband is familiar with the Bosch name. I was not familiar with Bosch at the time of purchase, but now I associate it with quality and high-end performance. We use the washer and dryer on a daily basis and have for 2 years now and are very pleased with its performance. The only issue we have had is the slight smell of mold in the washing machine on rare occasions. I looked this up on the internet and found that many users have reported problems with moldy build-up on their front-loaders. In fact, we saw that there was a pending lawsuit with one of the major brands (Maytag or Whirlpool?). I called Bosch to find out how to remedy this and they suggested vinegar and/or a purchased product designed to eliminate this problem. Instead of doing either (because I also read online vinegar can damage the machine) I just run it on the Sanitary cycle every couple of weeks with a load of towels in it. This gets the water SUPER hot and seems to take care...

marquis784 says "love my Kenmore dyer, highly recommend it" about Kenmore Dryer

marquis784 — Wed, 13 May 2009 03:00:48 GMT

My parents have always used Kenmore products so it was a natural decision for me to choose Kenmore when I fist purchased my set 8 years ago. I have a maintenance plan whic is very important. Sears comes to my home once a year to check it's performance and clean the vents and other items that are vital to keep it performing so well. The technicians are also helpful! I would definately consider buying another Kenmore should I need to. It does a great job drying clothes using just low and medium settings.

kassy68 says "Turns off before clothes are dry, Takes forever to dry" about Kenmore 700

kassy68 — Wed, 13 May 2009 02:10:01 GMT

Hi. I've had this dryer for almost 3 yrs now with nothing but disappointment. I used to have a gas he3t dryer.. LOVED IT , still have the washer.. We moved and didn't have gas hook up so we went and bought the biggest dryer we could to match load sizes with my front load washer.

The first couple months It was great.. 45 minutes and dry

After that, I've had them out to look at it 6 times for NOT drying.. My dryer turns off before the clothes are dry and in a time frame of 60minutes to where they should be dry..

Repairman have said the vents good, sensors and everything else is good.. even replaced the control mod.. GUESS what.. it still doesnt dry. We have replaced the heating element and tonight a new belt as the last one broke.. Seriously < My old Maytag was still drying great after 12 years.. just wanted to update..

Long story short.. I've had two off the record repairman say this dryers are known to be terrible and a disappointment... I would NOT recommend...

johnny12 says "Let it all hang out! There's more than one way to dry those jean" about LG Dryer - Tromm Dryer - DLE7177WM

johnny12 — Thu, 07 May 2009 05:30:23 GMT

I love clean clothes when they are warn, fresh from the the dryer on a cool autumn evening, so one of my friend suggested that I hang my clothes outside that way I can be an energy saver, I do put my foot down. I do consider myself as a dedicated environmentalist's, the dry was a luxury I wasn't planning on giving that up. I thought how much energy could my once - a- week drying sessions consumer anyway? I decided to do some research. Whenever I stumbled across a ubiquitous figure that's reported all over the internet, that's including the U.S. Department of energy's website, I knew that I had electric dryer. If the Americans people or even just New England, would use the clothesline or a wooden dryer racks, where I'm from we hand clothes out after washing them. The savings would be enough to close several power plants," than reporting these project laundry list, would be a pro-line drying website. I realize that such a significant part of my electricity bill went to drying clothes...

bwjj931 says "Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam Dryer .. best purchase EVER!!" about Kenmore Dryer - Kenmore Elite - Steam HE5

bwjj931 — Tue, 05 May 2009 03:28:35 GMT

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 in your laundry area with the enclosed adapter which will allow you to have both the washer and dryer attached at the same time. Have kids? If so, I'm sure you've washed their shoes only to have them clunck around in the dryer or sit out somewhere waiting for them to dry well if you have the Kenmore Elite HE5 Steam dryer, no more clunking for you!! A rack is included with your dryer for clothes...

books205 says "The Bosh 500 Nexxt clothes dryer can't be beat!" about Bosch 500 Series Nexxt Clothes Dryer WTMC3321US Nexxt 500 Series Electric

books205 — Sun, 03 May 2009 02:45:43 GMT

With it's quiet efficiency, this multifaceted dryer has made my life so much easier. I never have toworry about clothes drying too much and getting wrinkeld, or not drying enough and still being damp.

It has a stainless steel drum and a wrinkle control and a drying rack. There are four cyles with another optional two settings for a signal and for delicates. There is a 20, 40 and 60 timed dry cycle available.

I have owned a lot of dryers but this is one of the best. If there is anything negative about it, it may be that the drum could be bigger, roomier for fluffing.

I would reccomend this appliance with no qualms.

vaughn58 says "It's like coming home! The brand that you can always count on!!!" about Kenmore 400 5.9 cu. ft. Capacity Electric Dryer

vaughn58 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:44:07 GMT

After our experience with our New (when purchased) GE washing machine, we decided that when we needed a new dryer, we were going back to Sears. We purchased the Kenmore 400 series dryer a few months back and we love it. Our other dryer was also a kenmore but was over 22 years old. It was old and taking longer to dry things, you also worry about older units being a fire hazard. So we decided to purchase a new one. Oh what a great decision. It dries the clothes in have the time. My wife has a bad habit of washing to big a loads, but the dryer can handle it. It has an extra large compacity drum that in one word is AWESOME! It runs extra quiet, you don't even know that its on until the buzzer goes off, letting you know the load is done. And for some reason you don't have to use fabric sheets with it all the time, because it doesn't seem to produce static cling. That's the strangest thing I've ever seen. We are so pleased with our dryer that there are really not enough...

Sarahcp says "Love This Dryer!" about Samsung Steam Dryer DV448AEP

Sarahcp — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:06:38 GMT

I absolutely love my Samsung Steam Dryer DV448AEP! I purchased it a few months ago along with the matching washer. Laundry day has never been shorter or easier! The tub holds a lot of clothes so that I can dry in fewer loads and it's very quiet. I've been very impressed with how wrinkle free all the items come out. The timing system adjusts to let you know when things are dry so that they're not "overbaked". It couldn't be easier.

We chose not to purchase the pedestal base and I've so glad we did. The door is no lower than your typical front load dryer and the opening is large enough for you to easily remove your items without "climbing in". I also use the tops of the machines for folding and stacking my clothes so I'm still able to do that without the pedestals underneath. I do recommend that you lay a towel or cloth over the top of the machine so that the surface doesn't get scratched. I placed a plastic bottle of laundry detergent on it and it scratched the top of the machine when...

abconsulting says "maytag neptune dryer great" about Maytag Neptune MCG8000AW Gas Dryer

abconsulting — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:12:41 GMT

I have the maytag neptune dryer and upper drying cabinet. I rated the dryer as a four because the dryer is excellent. My review though is on the upper drying cabinet which I could not rate or find in the list but I rate it as a one. The upper drying cabinet is a waste of money. I though I could hang clothes in their eaisly and let them dry especially in the winter. Most of my clothes I line dry all year round. I wanted to use it in the winter when clothes did not dry that good outside. I found it only came with 3 hangers and you need these special hangers for the clothes and there is not enough room to hang things expeciall long items. I do not like this product. Not worth the money.

ourhappyfamily4 says "Small, but does a good job." about Roper roper dryer

ourhappyfamily4 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:34:17 GMT

After many years our old dryer went out. So we bought this roper dryer from lowes. It was the cheapest we could find anywhere. On the outside it looks like the small size as all dryers, but the drumm is smaller. it would be nice if it were larger, BUT for the money it does a good job. We have had it now for 3 years, and it gets the clothes dry every time i use it in one cycle. The only complaint is the lent trap. when you pull it out and clean it, you can still see lent down in the compartment, but you can't get it out by just pulling out the lent trap.

MaryJC83 says "The Frigidair Dyer electric dryer is very good on electricity!" about Frigidaire Dyer - Electric Dryer - Gallery Series model# GLTF2940FE

MaryJC83 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 00:18:33 GMT

I found the Frigidaire Dyer - Electric Dryer the perfect solution to my drying needs. Not only does it cut the drying time in half, but it also reduced my electricity consumption. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it. I am not an expert, but I know what I like.

My old dryer ran my electric bill up so high that I finally switched over to the clothes line. Lucky for me, my old 16 yr. old dryer finally bit the dust and I was able to get another dryer. I noticed how much lower my electric bill was while using the Frigidaire Dryer. Never expected that! It was a wonderful surprise. Now I don't hesitate to use it instead of dragging wet clothes out to the line. I have health issues and this was becoming a big strain. The New Frigidaire Dyer - Electric Dryer not only made a huge difference in my drying problems, but I've never been so happy to have one that cuts my electric consumption.

davsmom says "The Whirlpool Duet Dryer is a time and energy saving appliance" about Whirlpool Duet Dryer

davsmom — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 23:54:14 GMT

We purchased our Whirlpool Duet Dryer in 2007 just before I had surgery on my hip after fracturing it in an automobile accident. Ours is a large family- an 18 year old, 17 year old, 15 years old and an 11 year old. With all of the kids being involved in school and extracurricular activities, and my husband and I carrying on daily activities- we wash a LOT of clothes. I have worn out more washers and dryers in our twenty year marriage than I care to admit!

In doing my research on heavy duty appliances, I noticed that the Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer could handle LARGE loads of clothes without taxing the system. That seemed to be exactly what I needed. The front loading system would also prove to be an asset. When comparing the Whirlpool Duet products, I noted that the openings to the basket of both appliances was large and easily accessible, where in other products, the openings were small and difficult to reach into to load or unload. Having a disabling disease process,...

cironwks says "Fantastic Frigidaire Dryer" about Frigidaire Dyer - Electric Dryer - Gallery Series model# GLTF2940FE

cironwks — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 20:39:29 GMT

My Frigidaire dryer model LEQ2151EE1 is the first commercial grade electric dryer that I have ever purchased. It was worth every bit of money that I paid for it. It dryes my clothes in the miminal amount of time. Much better than my older dryer. In the older dryer it could take over an hour to dry as few as 6 pairs of jeans. With my new Frigidaire dryer it will dry as many as 10 pairs of jeans in about 45 minutes. There are a wide variety of setting on my Frigidaire dryer, you can dry the most delicate items to the most bulky. I have dryed my quilt in my new dryer. Before with my old dryer this would have been impossible. I would have had to go to the local laundromat to wash and dry my quilts. I am able to dry sweaters in my dryer with a rack that I have to mount in the dryer. The lint filter is easily accessible and easy to remove and clean. My dryer is very quite when it is running and has an alarm when the load has finished drying.

mello118 says "If you can't stand the heat..." about General Electric DVLR223 Gas Dryer

mello118 — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 23:22:28 GMT

General Electric DVLR223 Gas Dryer. I mentioned That I moved and had to replace a few items when I did my review for the Washer. I bring it up again because I had the need to replace my dryer as well. This Dryer was obtained at an affordable price and provides with an excellent value based on it's performance. I have always complained about Dryer heat not being adequate to completely dry my clothes, satisfactorily or speedily. This has a drying cycle, called "Optimum Dry" which does the job in about 30 minutes (maybe less but I leave it for 30 anyway, just easy to remember). I actually left a bed sham in too long and the synthetic material nearly melted. All in all, this perfect for my needs.

suesueisme says "Good clothes dryer" about Whirlpool Duet Dryer

suesueisme — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:36:44 GMT

The Whirlpool Duet Sport Dryer has been very reliable over the past 2 years. I have a husband who's messier than a 2 year old. I also have a small personal zoo consisting of 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 conure, 1 macaw currently. I have lots of laundry with animal fur, general bird mess, lots of blankets,& small rugs. The dryer has a large capcity & has handled everything great. I have the gas dryer and it is very energy conservative. I have seen the difference in utility bill(previous dryer was electric). Many setting selection so you can safely dry anything from delicates to rough stuff.
