Neat history and pictures of the Kenmore brand, including info on how Kenmore was on The Donna Reed Show. The timeline link is at the bottom of the page.

I thought the new KM logo looked like the 80's version as well. Perhaps they should just drop it and use a more recognizable logo. Wouldn't it be pretty on the cabinets like the SQ logo in the upper left corner, on the dispenser drawers or smack dab in the center of the control knob? That Frigidaire logo looks like it belongs on a cheap food dehydrator or a volleyball. Oops, be careful what you wish for! |

Say it yesterday at Sears on the new Front Loaders, not impressed at all. Machines look very industrial but I'm sure they are not made that way. |

I have a question for the historians at Sears or to those who compiled that Kenmore time-line (very intersting by the way). If in 1978 the 50-millionth Kenmore washer was sold, how is it that by 1987 they'd sold nearly 42 million washers? Did they un-make 8 million in that 9 year period? I know they made 2 in those in-between years - my Mom bought one and I got the other! Is this just an error or perhaps an un-printed distinction was made between ringers and automatics? Gordon |

From what I read of the reviews, Kenmore has lost it's reputation for quality. There seem to be many upset people out there not happy with their new washers. It seems like Kenmore/Whirlpool was the brand to have for quality and durability right next to Maytag. And what I don't get, is, how is a portable machine, much smaller, washes less clothes in a load cost almost $100 MORE than a full size washer? I would think getting a portable model would be cheaper. What's the world coming to. All I know is I think I'll stick with old school machines when I can. Many are 40+ years old and still going strong.

Well, it's just a reminder to all of you who have vintage Kenmores: Give your machines a great big hug and promise that you will never send them back to that evil company. |

I remember back when Coldspot refrigerators had the SR logo that resembled a butterfly. Anyone else remember? |
