My washing machine might as well be a Lexus (2 year update)

by pipet Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 12 '02
Pros: energy efficient, super large 3.7 cubic feet capacity, many automatic options, add-a-garment
Cons: price
In Oct 2001, my husband and I went all out and bought the "luxury" Kenmore Elite HE3t High Efficiency Front Loading Washer (Model 42922). This washer retails for $1449 and is often on sale for $1299. You may be wondering if my husband (and mostly me) ...

$1200.00 for a Washer? Does it do tricks as well as laundry?

by ned1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 28 '02
Pros: EVERYTHING!! Steel Drum, fast spin cycles, cleans everything!!
Cons: price, but my happiness and sanity is worth it!
I've said it before, but this time I mean it - if it were legal to marry an appliance, you'd all be calling me Mrs. HE3t - that's how much I LOVE my new washing machine.

Yes, to belatedly celebrate my 3rd year anniversary at the site, I...

This is top of the line.

by kcouture , Nov 18 '02
Pros: Huge number of option settings. Sud sensor, high capacity.
Cons: Price.
After reviewing several different brands I decided to go with the consumer reports top rated washer. I purchased mine at Sears in March of 2002, on sale for $1050.00. This was an outrageous price for me but my last washer lasted 12 years and I'm hoping...

Greatest invention since sliced bread

by smurph3 , Dec 04 '02
Pros: Quiet Fast spin. Easy close controls. Whites were returned to white.
Cons: heavy
The optional drawer pedestal installed Brings the HE3t to a very comfortable height. You no longer have to be a weight lifter to get the clothes out of the washer. The amount of water left in the fabrics cannot be wrung out by hand.

Surprisingly superior product

by tkillarney , Jan 12 '03
Pros: Quiet, fast, smart, lg. capacity, stainless steel basket, auto-dispense for soaps/bleach/softeners
Cons: price, doors can't be reversed
I have both the washer and dryer and was talked into paying the higher price for the HE3t or "Hetties" by my husband and son. I was very reluctant and quite a hard sell even after we brought them home. However, I was surprised. There really is a...

"Elite" May Be Worth The High Price.

by dmh1967 , Apr 15 '03
Pros: Handles large loads, energy efficient, and timer setting.
Cons: Pretty expensive, but you may save in utility bills in the long run.
FIRST IMPRESSION
I put a lot of thought into the purchase of this washer. Originally, I had gone to Sears intending to purchase one of the lesser-priced models, but after seeing this model and reading about all of its benefits, I forked over...

Our favorite appliance

by driveawedge , Aug 13 '02
Pros: Large capacity, energy efficient, flexible cycles
Cons: Expensive, longer cycles
Our Maytag top loader was doing a fine job of cleaning our clothes, but PG&E was increasing our rates monthly and we needed to rid the house of energy hogs. We looked at the variety of energy efficient washers, and the HE3t came out as the clear winner....

Fingers crossed. It's a dream machine so far.

by bourbon5696 , Feb 07 '03
Pros: Controls are easy to understand and use. Large capacity. Profile cycle to remove stains.
Cons: It's expensive.
I'm the husband of a delighted owner of a new Kenmore HE3t washer. My wife raves about the huge capacity, the range of cycles, and the ease of use. Her only complaint so far is that some cottons come out of the washer with wrinkles (due to the 1200rpm...

It WAS an awesome machine - UPDATED!!

by annsni , Oct 08 '02
Pros: Super washer, large capacity, uses VERY little water and detergent
Cons: Cost, Sears stinky repair service
We bought this machine a month ago after our OLD washer died. We have 3 children, one on the way and our youngest (and the baby when it gets here) is cloth diapered, so I needed a good washing machine. We looked around and decided on the front loading...

Love it!

by tanyapaige , Mar 31 '03
Pros: Super quiet, energy efficient
Cons: Storage bins will not hold laundry products
This machine has it all - can hold practically anything (I wash two king size quilts at a time in it) while cleaning better than any washer I have seen and runs super quiet. In fact, if I didn't start it, I don't know it is on.

The thermal...

Fix the door

by pcb62 , Dec 28 '02
Pros: Very Quiet. It uses so little water, that it's hard to believe it actually works.
Cons: The door opens the wrong way. Price. 1 Year Warranty.
Very Quiet. It uses so little water, that it's hard to believe it actually works. The spin cycle gets most of the water out causing you clothes to dry faster. In fact, I can dry a load of towels faster than I can wash the next load. It's about as cool...

So far so good.

by keshishian , Feb 20 '03
Pros: Energy efficient, front-loading, auto-water level determination, some clothes come out almost dry, big!
Cons: Expensive, things get stuck behind door gasket sometimes.
After much research, I decided to buy a front-loader because they use less water, soap, energy and don’t stress clothes as much. Of all the front-loaders, Consumer Reports rated the HE3 highest. I have had it for about one year and we are very...

No Need to Look Further....

by critical_lady , Feb 20 '03
Pros: Gets clothes exceptionally clean,large capacity, Easy to use, Variety of adjustable cycle times/water temps.
Cons: Long cycles. Expensive. Bleach dispenser hard to reach and drains onto washload if overfilled.
If you want the best... then the Kenmore HE3 Washer is for you! I do mega laundry and with the large capacity tub I can nearly triple the amount of clothes per load! The "Whitest Whites" cycle gets the clothes so clean. The stain treatment cycle is...

Causes holes in clothing? UDPATED 12/14/03

by davidmac27 , Mar 20 '03
Pros: Great job washing clothes - kids love to watch and help!
Cons: Major concerns about holes in clothes created during spin cycle
UPDATE 12/14/03: I have been using the new washer for about 5 months and I am happy to report that I have experienced no tears or rips in my clothes. Also, I haven't had a single sock or even smaller baby sock stuck between the lip and the door since ...

by loves2teach1 , Nov 23 '02
Pros: Great cleaning ability, great spin speed, stainless steel tub
Cons: price
We wash a lot of clothes at our house, and doing the wash was not my idea of fun. We splurged and bought this washing machine hoping that the consumer magazine knew what it was talking about when it rated this one so highly.

It did know...
