star 		Poor machine
by: Anonymous

This is the worst machine I've ever owned and I've had Kenmore's for many years. The sensor for estimating the water level went out after 6 months and the only way I could get enough was to open the lid to add more. This meant it filled completely and the water saving feature went out the window. It's a very noisy machine and jumps all over the place when the clothes get unlevel, and water spashes out through the lid when filling. I'd return it if it were an option.

starstarstar 		Not filling with water properly
by: Mena

It saves 49% on your water bill, because it hardly adds any water to the load. To get the water level to cover the clothes you need to open the lid 5 minutes after the cycle starts, then close the lid and it will fill with water.

It still seems to clean the clothes, but with three sons I would like to make sure that the items are fully washed, not mostly washed.

starstarstar 		Small opening to tub is a problem
by: Cindy

This machine is okay. ALthough I am waiting on Sears to come back and get it. I have had it two weeks and althoughit cleans and functions fine....... my issue is the tub. The size is plenty large but getting to it is the problem. The opening at the top is very skinny. IT is exactly 4.5inches from the center agitator to the rim of the tub. I can't imagine why in the world they designed it to have a wide lip/rim when the tub is so large. Anyway, while removing clothes I constantly am banging my arm against the agitator or the rim. Eeerrrgghhhh. Even my 12 year old daughter with little child arms bangs hers too. For this reason alone I'm trading it back in for a GE model. They all have wide mouth openings.

by: Anonymous

Tell me about this Quiet Pak stuff. I m in the market for a new machine. I have the Kenmore Elite with quiet pak 11. I have had it apart many times working on it. I don't see any insulation, much less "extra" insulation.

My Sears Kenmore 800 arrived a week ago. I needed a top loading machine to replace my old Maytag workhorse, and chose this model because of its large capacity.

The Auto Load Sensor may claim to be a water saving feature, but it barely provides enough liquid to get dirty clothes clean. I'm using a second rinse more often than ever, making this machine an energy waster.

And twice in the past week towels, which were properly loaded at the start, shifted and caused the machine to became unbalanced. The Maytag would stop when that occurred. The Kenmore keeps rumbling like a freight train, and actually vibrated 6" towards the rear before I could shut it down. Why would Sears/Kenmore advertise that the machine can handle 20 towels, when it goes nuts with 10?

This was a very quick purchase because my Maytag broke down suddenly. I wish I'd had more time to research other options.

starstar 		Packed in for me
by: Marvin

Five washes in, the Kenmore 800 -packed with options gadgets of no importance- just stopped filling with water. With no water, it would not agitate.

On a one-year warranty a Sears repairman came to my door within a week, opened up the machine, could not find the problem, ordered several parts (as guesses towards a solution) which he said would be dropped shipped to me in 11 days because the machine model number was not in his computer, and told me to call when parts arrived so he could return.

The next day I returned the machine under the Sears 30-day return policy.
