The market is awash with many washing machines from different manufacturers, each providing features and benefits that supposedly aren't present in other brands.

With this unit's high-efficiency wash plate, you don't have to fill the washing machine with water to the brim to get the cleaning results you need.

    worse machine ever
    by: Anonymous

    I bought this unwashing machine in March 2013. What a nightmare. My whites are getting dingy and simple stains like maple syrup need to be washed 3 times before it fades away. The soak cycle is real joke when the clothes are not even wet. It is a piece of junk. This model needs to be recalled. I should phone W-5 and market place. It might make Sears move on this issue. I am buying another machine but not though Sears. This machine, I can't even put on the side of the road with a sign "Take me" because it doesn't wash! No wonder Sears is going under.

    PIECE OF CRAP
    by: Anonymous

    This machine lasted 13 months, now I am having all the problems that everyone else seems to be having. Very poor performance for cleaning, very poor performance for spinning out, I have to reset this piece of crap several times to get a load of laundry through it. Whites come out dirtier than when they go in, colors have funky odors... I couldn't be more disappointed. Repair estimates are outrageous through Sears and from what I have read, repairs only work for a short time before the machine malfunctions again.
    This was supposed to be an energy saver but when you clothes have to be washed 3 or 4 times and they don't spin out as they should so they spend extra time in the dryer... well... could you possibly get a machine that is more energy INEFFICIENT?
    I am not only disappointed, I am disgusted. Obviously this is a huge problem with this model and Sears should stand behind their product, acknowledge these issues and make it right with their customers if they expect that anyone will ever return to their store to purchase so much as a pair of underwear!

    If I could give it zero starts, I would

    The only bigger piece of crap than this I have seen is at the zoo. We have had to call service on this thing 8 times in 2 years. This is horrible. It won't complete a cycle, sometimes leaving clothes drenched and soapy and at other times doesn't even get them wet at all. We open the lid and some clothes are still dry. Sears replaced our first unit and gave us another of the same one. Same problems. Horrible

    WAS loyal Kenmore customer. Replaced 20 yr old Kenmore washer when purchased this washer and matching dryer (our dryer broke, but washer still worked fine). This washer leaves soap stains on clothes, ruining the clothes. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT, DOES NOT PERFORM!

    Bleach stains can be left on loads after using bleach. Does not do a good job cleaning.

    You are not consistent in your comments

    This machine has a 4.3 Cu. Ft. capacity and you say:

    "The washer's interior washing capacity limits its use to small- and medium-sized households."

    and

    "limited cleaning capacity per operating cycle"

    But on the smaller Kenmore 800 (2982) with a 4.0 Cu. Ft. capacity you say:

    "Pro: High capacity"
