The machine also exceeds the requirements for Energy Star which make this an energy saving machine that will save you money on your utility bills. The machine will save both water and energy for a savings in your bills as well as giving you the option to save even more with Save Energy Plus option on your machine that lowers the temperature of the washer and allows the machine to wash longer. The cleanliness of your wash is not a problem with the many features on this machine.
There are six temperatures and the speed of the spin cycle is 1300 rpm and that will give you a savings on the dryer time by ringing out the wash. The machine is also a front load machine so you should check your space requirements for the door on a front loading machine. This machine has all of the best bells and whistles that are possible on a washing machine.
The machine works by releasing steam into the washer during both the pretreating cycle and the wash cycle. The cycle will last a bit longer
and you can expect a heavy duty cycle to last about two hours to complete when the steamer is used.

Final Thought
This machine features all of the advanced technology that you could possibly need in your washer. It will cost you a bit more than a traditional washer, but the innovative use of steam and time released Oxy cleaning make it the ultimate stain fighting washer. The machine comes in your choice of white or burgundy which will cost a bit more.
The capacity on the machine is huge and you will find that you have to do less loads with this size machine, saving you time. You should, however, prepare for the longer cycle times for a load on the heavy duty cycle with the steam technology in use, which will run for about two hours.
Make sure that you have the space that is required to house such a large machine. It runs quiet in your home and the Kenmore name is one that will last for a long time. In all the Kenmore HE5t Steam Washer is a great choice for those who require advanced technology to fight stains.
