It is a Sears Kenmore Model 70. It was built between 1976 and 1978. I grew up with one as exactly like this one. My parents got one in August 1978 (which replaced a 1967 “24” BOL Kenmore). Good luck with it. —Charles— | ||

Kenmore 70
I can’t remember what some of the hallmark differences are between the 70 and 80 series machines as they always seemed so similar. Porcelain tops maybe? This one was a popular model for sure with the four water levels and Penta-Swirl. But you upgrade to the 80 series and you get three water levels and a Dual-Action agitator. Personally, I liked this model.
A little Penta-Swirl porn for you. She was dirty at the time. They’re great agitators. Don’t let the gentle swirling looks fool you. They’re powerful. | ||

1978 70 Series
Hello everyone!
That is a 1978 70 series. For reasons unknown to me, Kenmore made a console print-only change to the 70 for four years running, with the 76 having Knit-Delicate in one cycle box. The 77 was split with Knit and Delicate separated into what looks like two cycles (but it is not), then the 78 moving back to the 76 single appearing cycle but with a ‘Knit’ setting at the 8 minute mark. For 79 it reverted back to the 77 style two cycles, but they had ENERGY SAVER notations over temp and level settings. All the models were essentially the same otherwise. 1980’s console was unchanged from 1979 for the entry 70. I have a feeling the one in this ad is a suds model —- check below the 14 minute wash mark on the console. It says Suds? Gordon | ||
