Types

• Kenmore washing machines come in top-loading, front-loading and high-efficiency models. Kenmore says its high-efficiency models exceed government standards to conserve water and energy. Front-loading Kenmore washers can be stacked with a matching dryer to conserve space or placed on a pedestal to reduce bending.
