Kenmore is made by Maytag...or used to be, just as an FYI. We watched the commentary on the recent news (WKMG) that spoke of the life-spans of appliances. They recommended not getting top of the line, latest models as the life-spans now are approx 5 to 6 yrs. Definately NOT made the way they used to be. Our throw-away society probably is always looking to the "newest best" thing so that's the mind-set. I'd go with the posters who recommended the 2 or 3 others, that have a better track-record then all the rest.

Don't we ALL remember purchasing that appliance that lasted nearly "our" life-time because it was considered a major purchase??
