Default What's a good older washing machine brand/model?

Lincoln/Mercury is a brand. You know it's a division of Ford. Pontiac is a
brand. You know it's a division of GM. Oldsmobile? I think they used to
be a division of GM. They were definitely a brand.

For Kenmore to be a brand, Kenmore would have to manufacture appliances, OR
that they would have to be a division of a company that does manufacture
appliances*. Neither is true. -Dave

*For example, Frigidaire is an appliance brand, as they are a division of
Electrolux, and Electrolux manufactures appliances.


So using your line of thought; my Chevy Luv wasn't "really" a Chevy
since it was made by Isuzu? Regardless Kenmore is a "Sears" brand that
can also be bought at other "Sears" companies such as OSH and sooner or
later at K-Mart. I know that in the past the Kenmore washer/dryer sets
(and refrigerators) were made by Whirlpool; pretty positive the
washer/dryers still are (seeing as how the He3 is identical to the
Duet).
