Kenmore 3.2 Super Capacity Plus Washer

This is a fairly standard model but it was really affordable. Look for particularly good deals now that there is all the fervor for high efficient top loaders. We were able to find a good deal on ours when we purchased it recently (we previously had a Kenmore as well when we bought this one…we sold it with the dryer for $175!).

I really like that I can wash pretty much all of the dirty towels in the house in one load, thereby saving water. It is simple and easy to use-just like a washer should be. You can pull off the turn dials to clean underneath them for the inevitable lint and ick that will get under them. (Don’t worry, they go back on easily.)

I did have a problem trying to wash my pillows. I was not sure if I overloaded the washer or if the weight of wet pillows threw the machine off balance but it was rocking like crazy.

I eventually had to ring out the pillows and put them back in before the rinse cycle and then do it again after the rinse cycle. My husband was upset but I am prepared to try again at the end of the season!

Because it is so large, make sure you use the right setting so you are not wasting water.

Other than that, I have been quite happy with my Kenmore and am sure my teenager will be looking forward to inheriting it when she graduates from college!
