Washers/Dryers

Compare your options:

An efficient washer conserves both electricity and water. Energy Star certified washers save over 40% in energy and water consumption. Washers without a central agitator around which clothes are spun and with high spin speeds that leave less moisture in the clothes are the most efficient. Washing in cold water, always running full loads, choosing the shortest cycle, air-drying clothes, and using an HE (high efficiency) detergent can save energy and water consumption.

Kenmore 47511

Product Highlights: Super capacity front load washer.


Size/Capacity: 3.6 Cu. Ft.


Price: $749.99


Pros: Fast spin cycle, High Efficency, Energy Star, Lots of cycle options, Large basket, Separate places for soap, bleach, soften.

Cons: Several bad reviews, Potential mold problem, Special soap needed.

Customer Reviews: I've seen a lot of negative reviews on this washer. People have complained about mold issues, leaking water from the locked door, and the control board acting crazy. (all within a couple of months of ownership) I personally have had my washer for well over 9 months, and have never had a problem with it. (Fingers crossed) It's quiet during cycles, has a super fast spin cycle, that practically dries the clothes. There's a variety of cycles from super long to short, and you can add if you want a presoak, or a 2nd rinse in there, and it calculates how long the cycle will take to finish. I just bought the matching dryer, and cannot wait for it to get here, I hope I enjoy it, as much as I do the washer. www.viewpoints.com

Reviewers are very impressed with how clean clothes are when washed in the Epic. They also love the extra cycles like a white cycle that adds an extra rinse for loads washed with bleach. One reviewer notes, "There is a sanitary cycle that actually takes ALL of the stink out of the dog towels and blankets (our old washing machine just masked the smell with the detergent)." This washing machine is earth friendly too - using less water and spinning out so that it takes less time to dry.
