Kenmore HE2 Plus Front Load Washer

Pros: Cleans well, uses little detergent, water and electricity.
Cons: Noisy on the spin cycle. Has already required major repair.

The Kenmore He-2+ is a fairly attractive (or, at least as attractive as a washing machine can get!) unit, with easy to read and use controls and a very large capacity. As a front loader, it must use HE detergent, and not the ordinary stuff, as ...

Pros: Saves water, electricity, water, detergent, bleach and fabric softener.
Cons: Shakes the house, can't do small loads, hard to find Woolite for He washers.

I LOVE this washer.  I did a lot of research on HE washers when my last agitator washer died, and this seemed to be one of the few that no one was complaining about.  I've found it to be a great machine.To start with, you do have to ...

Pros: Simple to use, good cleaning, low energy use. Very good price when on sale.
Cons: Heavy vibration during short portions of the spin cycle.

Our 30 year old Maytag top load washer finally died, leaving my wife and I shopping for a new washing machine. This seemingly simple task, turned out to be a bit more complicated than either of us could have anticipated. The government now ...

Pros: Saving the environment, works well
Cons: (minor) water collects in the gasket

I love that this is an energy-efficient washer, and we've also cut down on water and detergent used. Our washer empties into a slow-emptying wash sink, and the difference between this and our old one was really amazing! The old one would fill the sink to ...

Pros: Works well when working, *LOOKS* like it is constructed well
Cons: Very Very Unreliable, expensive to fix, Door sometimes refuses to open

We purchased this machine a little over a year ago from a Sears scratch and dent store.  While we were originally impressed with how well it worked and how dry the clothes were following cycle completion, our enthusiasm quickly faded after the error ...

Pros: machine works great, clothes clean , uses less water, ect. ect. ect.
Cons: electonic controller has manufacturing defect,third BAD expensive controller in  less than 3 years. 

we love the machine... clothes clean, uses less water, uses less detergent,, (we had a hard time getting use to putting is less detergent) problem is, the first washer lasted less than 18 months before the electronic control went haywire..  took ...

Pros: The Pro is the dryer which works.
Cons: The cons of the washing machine is the lousy customer service. 

My boyfriend and I made a sacrifice to buy a washer and dryer from Sears.  We were assured that both items were top of the line products.  Our minds were put at ease with a warranty that if something should happen, Sears would help us with our ...

Pros: Great when it works
Cons: too many things can go wrong, can't get service from Sears, no parts readily available

I purchased the HE2 exactly two years ago (2006). I have the extended warranty. For the first call, I was without my washer for 2 weeks. It took a week to get a technician and another week for the part. Right now I have been without my washer for nearly ...

Pros: Capacity, runs quiet, decent price (on sale and rebate).
Cons: none yet although I will build a pedestal for it and the dryer

This washer was purchased at my local Sears store with the matching dryer about three months ago. My old Whirlpool washer was just over 20 years old and was working fine but I was interested in going with a front loader. So far I have no complaints at ...

Pros: clean design, multiple pre-set settings: status, soil levels, spin speeds, wash/rinse temperatures, etc.
Cons: can't tie dye clothes or felt wool items because it's front loading, not top loading.

We have this washer in our home and I've been using it since November 2007. I like the clean, white design and that I can place items on top as it is a front loading washer. Unfortunately, that also means I can't tie-dye T-shirts or felt wool items ...

Pros: Efficient and does the job.
Cons: Has some quirks to work around.

This washer works better than many make out, but 2 or 3 times I did have scares.  I have had the washer for 2 or 3 years now, and haven't had to call service, BUT:What you need to know, is wash all your small items in laundry bags.  ...

Pros: It worked great for about 7 months. 
Cons: Sear's customer service stinks.

I purchased the Kenmore HE2 washer & dryer in March of 2008.  When it works it us great.  In October the gasket started leaking and it was making a racket during the spin cycle.  A week after this started the repairman came (Oct 10) ...

Pros: Definitely has saved money! Uses less water hence less electricity!
Cons: No cons so far!

We've had this washer for about 8-months and all of the lights on the front began to flash and the machine would turn itself off, primarily during the rinse cycle. I cleaned the water input screens, which needed it because of calcium buildup, but that ...

Pros: When it works they work very well and can handle big loads of laundry.
Cons:

Junk,unrieliable. Does not perform the way the salesperson tells you.

I just wanted to share with people about the HE2 plus. We purchased both washer and dryer. Our dryer has been very good to us no complaints there. Our washer on the other hand is a completely diffrent story. For The first 6 months we had no problems. ...

Pros: The fact that I got my money back
Cons: Read my review.  It speaks for itself.

I purchased the HE2 Plus front loading washer three weeks ago BRAND NEW.  It worked for one week before giving me an F-20 error code 10-15 minutes into any cycle.  I called the Sears repair center, which took 4 days to get repair parts mailed ...
