Very smart looking cosmetic changes. Love the chrome around the door. And the fabric control dial apears to be more "oasis"-isc as well as the display area is also very nice. Does that say Skincare II rinse? OK, now please let us know what's been changed cycle-wise vs. the 4T And thank you for the pics.

Water consumption reduced 71% from WHAT? Pretty soon it's going to be a dry cleaner. What's this about an auto 2nd rinse? I always use the Whitest Whites cycle because it gives 3 rinses. The addition of the COOL wash temp is nice. |

Nice looking machines for sure, but I'm curious about the 2nd rinse option. Does that mean there is only one rinse after the wash by default and this option adds a second? Or, is it meaning there are usually two "deep" rinses and this option adds another (2nd) between the first and last rinses for a total of 3? 71% less water than a standard top loader (probably in Normal cycle) would put this at about 14-15 gals. of water used? |

Nice machines! Looks like they've gone off the German-style design though towards a Korean theme... tehy look very similar to LG and Samsung machines, not sure if I like it! Jon |

What is Sear's problem with having a front loading(or top loading)washer and matching dryer with a clear see-thru window???!!!What the Hell are they trying to hide???!!!That's why I'd never have the Kenmore front loaders again.I want to see clear through my window not having to strain my eyes.The smoked glass just doesn't do it.The chrom looks bad too.I'll bet it's a cheap plastic.Not real.

I went to see these yesterday at my local sears essentials store. Great looking machines. They feel very solid. The chrome really looks nice on these machines. However, I will agree with Laundromat here on the window thing. I bought an HE3 3yrs ago. And while it has a smoke colored lens over the window you can still pretty much see through it. Now, these lenses seem to be getting darker and darker. Why bother to put a window in the door if they are going to cover it up with a dark lens. Gonna start building a new house after the first of the year and was considering getting another Kenmore HE#, and was even considering and HE2, but those have dark lenses too. Think I'm going with the Duet Sport. Atleast you can see through the window. |

I checked the new HE5's out the other day. I still wish they would remove the tinted glass. To me it's disappointing that they are not pushing the Affinity as their FL. Whats disappointing also is that the Duet, Hettie, KitchenAid and now Maytag are all the same. Same principal as everyone TL has a dual action adj. Peter |

Consumer Reports has a 'First Look' report on the Hettie Mk. 5. (I saw it at CR's website.) What they liked: Excellent water efficiency and large capacity. What they didn't like: Energy efficiency dropped from excellent (Hettie 4) to very good with the 5; Heavy duty cycle is 1 hour and 45 minutes in length. Full test forthcoming. |

Bob, I'll bet your BIL would find these beefy machines anything but gay! As for the smoked glass I agree with Cleanergirl. The majority of buyers probably don't care about seeing their clothes tumbling around and would just as soon not see them at all. I can't afford them but they sure are beautiful machines. |

Heavy Duty includes the Stain-Treat option as well as the maximum wash time. Hence the extended cycle time. Stain treat can be "de" selected and the wash time adjusted for a truncated cycle. |

OK... I really like washing machines and all the motion like the rest of you.... and yes the new machines are very nice, great features etc, but can you please tell me how a washing maching can be sexy? Yes a beautiful woman or a gorgous man can be sexy, but a washing machine? I don't mean to upset or offend anyone... I'm just asking, 'cause I don't get it. |

OK, last ditch effort to get some input on the HE2 Plus. Kenhe5t I emailed you directly with some questions as you advised. If you prefer, please answer them here. Can anyone give a simple thumbs up or down on this machine? On line reviews are love it or hate it and not much in between. Seems like the only people in love with this machine have not owned it for long. Can anyobody chime in on this? I'm getting pressure from my partner to take advantage of the sale at Sears this week but I don't want to be buying a bunch of problems. Thanks for any input, Ralph |

Thanks Bobby, I don't have a good feeling for the HE2's after what I've seen in on-line reviews. HE3 is a little too expensive. The HE2's seemed workable with the current sale through tomorrow but think I'll pass. My Amana pair is working OK for now so no rush. Do you know if Sears has deals like the current one more than once a year? Maybe I can plan for the next sale and focus on the HE3.
