I am really impressed with this Kenmore 90 series washing machine. Its fast and has the power. My clothes are always clean. I love the cycle controls. It is energy efficient. I have this washer in white. I had complained about my other wshing machine and a family member gave me this one. Wow! It was a surprise. I could really see the difference in what I had owned...

I can honestly say I love my stove! I feel pampered and spoiled to be able to cook on this beauty! The thing I love most about my Jenn-air is the ability to grill whenever I want to. The stove has cartridges that allow me to interchange my radiant cook surface with my grilling parts. So I almost always have the grill set up on one side, and a two-burner radiant top on the other. On Thanksgivi...

I own a Kenmore 80 series washer. This is a super capacity plus washer. This washer has a three speed motor with a four speed combination. It has a hand wash/casual speed where it washes at an extra slow speed and rinses on a slow speed. This washer has a delicate cycle which washes at a slow speed and rinses at a slow speed. It has a normal cycle where it washes at a slow speed and rinses at a...

We have well water and were debating whether to purchase a water softener for our home. I was always concerned about the water because we had problems in the past. We had to move the well head above ground due to contamination. The Health Department always inspects the well prior to building a house. The water sample was taken and the well did not pass. So we had to have repairs done to it with...

We bought this Kenmore side load washing machine 5 years ago.  I really liked the machine until just recently when it started breaking down. We bought the side load machine to save on water and also energy cost.  The side load machine uses approximately  16 to 24 gallons vs. up to 40 gallons of water used by top-loading machines.  It spins the clothes much dryer than a top-l...

We killed our old dishwasher at work with a broken glass. So it was replaced with a Whirlpool 24" Built-in White Dishwasher, which is available at Lowe's for $298. The product purchasing decisions for the house that I work at are made by the house manager, and depend upon the amount of money available to spend and the personal product preferences of the management. This Whirlpool dishw...

This Whirlpool Calypso Washer is a High Efficiency (HE) design.   HE washers are similar in function to a front loader, but face upward so they are a top loader.  They are water efficient and spin twice as fast as a typical top loader so they result in much drier clothes (and less drying time).One of the things that I like best about this design is that it does not have a standar...

When I finally decided it was time for a new washer and dryer, I was not sure what I wanted. I was drawn to a couple of big name brands that looked good, but the prices were outrageous and the reviews I found were not encouraging. My brother is  a contractor and is always buying appliances for his projects and he's gotten to know which ones are better than others, at least in his exper...

Finally, a kitchen appliance that really is easy to clean. I recently bought a new ceramic-glass top cookstove and I must say I absolutely love it. I bought a Frigidaire at Lowes for about $600. I have had it only a few weeks and already it has been worth every penny. The flat top cook surface makes for a always level pan or pot and less chance of fire by spilled or boiled over oil. Of course, ...

I've been cooking since I was about 16 and over the years I've cleaned my fair share of dirty ovens.  It's a nasty job and someone has to do it, but why should it be me?  That's why when we went shopping for a new stove 2 years ago, I decided that regardless of cost, I was going to banish the need to get down and dirty with smelly oven cleaners and rubber gloves. ...

 We turned our dining room into a small bar after our children went off to college.  In doing so we needed to find both a wine cooler and a beverage cooler for beer and soda.  We visited our local Home Depot and found exactly what we needed at what we thought was a very reasonable price. The Magic Chef Wine Cooler and the Magic Chef Beverage Cooler were perfect for our needs.&nbs...

I purchased this washing machine quite a number of years ago. It just keeps running and running without any problems. I keep expecting to have to replace this but it just keeps on running strong. This one certainly owes me nothing. The clothes just keep on coming out nice and clean. I should also mention that it has many settings for various types of clothes. ...

When my old stove started acting up, I knew it was time to buy a new one. I also knew that I wanted a glass top stove. I looked on the Internet at different models and then my husband and I went to Lowes to see what they had. We chose the Tappan 30-inch Electric Range with a glass cooktop. This stove is wonderful. No more trying to clean spills out of the grills like my old stove. Now I ju...

I have owned my Kenmore Cold Spot Side by Side Refrigerator for 4 1/2 years. I have been very pleased with it. My family loves the water and ice on the front and I think my kids drink more water since getting this fridge. I have plenty of room in the refrigerator although it did take some arranging to get things just where I wanted them. It has three drawers that I use for meat and cheese, vegg...

When we bought this house 11 years ago, it came with some of the appliances already installed.  The house was new, and so were the appliances.  Everything in my kitchen is white-that scared the heck out of me!  I knew we'd have dogs, and, well, I'm not Martha Stewart, so I knew I'd get things dirty, too!  Well, 11 years later, my kitchen STILL looks white!! ...

Well, theres nothing worse than having a refrigerator or freezer full of food, die... Thats what happened to me, freezer full of food, and it went. I called a service place to see about getting it fixed. Besdie the service call, it would have been almost as much to fix the old one, as it is to get a new one.SO, off to the internet I went. I found this online at Best Buy. I already knew what I w...

We were looking to upgrade our kitchen with new stainless steel appliances without breaking our bank account and putting ourselves in debt. We went shopping at sears one day and found this Kenmore Ultra SilverSteel side by side refrigerator. It looked great and was only around $900 dollars so we decided to buy it along with all the other stainless steel appliances. This fridge looks sleek in ou...

For someone who only a few years ago was saying that she'd never own all those neat looking stainless steel appliances on the market?  Well, boy, have I done a full 360!It started with the dishwasher and when we laid the new floor, well the room screamed for more great looking stainless steel accents.  Our fridge, which was a 90's vintage side by side complete with ice maker, ...

We finally gave in and bought a new washer and dryer after old Shredder/Scorcher started threatening to burn down our house.  After doing a lot of research, we decided to get the Whirlpool Duet Sport.  It is rated Energy efficient and uses a lot less water than the traditional top-loaders.  However, we have run into a few nagging issues.  Our basement floor slopes a good dea...

The Kenmore refrigerator in the house where I grew up lasted 20 years. That's why when I was buying a refrigerator for my own first home, I headed to Sears to pick up a Kenmore. Things have changed. The refrigerator we bought was a side-by-side model in white with a freezer on the left and a fridge on the right. The warranty lasted a year. We hoped we'd have this fridge much, much longe...
