"Americans have trusted Kenmore to provide laundry products that are both high performance and dependable," said Betsy Owens, Kenmore brand's vice president and general manager. "We know from customer feedback that they are looking for appliances that are not only reliable, but also sleek and stylish. As Americans' needs change, Kenmore is changing with them, raising the bar on style and innovation in the category."
More than just great performers, the new Kenmore Elite laundry pairs are setting new standards. With a careful eye on what is sophisticated and stylish, they set the standard for design by incorporating new curves, an innovative door design, groundbreaking controls and exquisite new colors.
"Consumers are craving products that are better, faster and more convenient -- without a hefty price tag. Kenmore is listening to their needs and we're trying to find solutions to help make their lives easier," said Betsy Owens. "The new line of High-Efficiency Front Load Laundry products are challenging existing laundry paradigms by taking fabric care and convenience to the next level. We're setting the standard for care by going beyond just tumbling with five revolutionary new wash motions that will re-define how to clean and care for clothes."
Smart Motion Technology: Five Wash Motions That Know How To Treat Your Clothes
Some washers can only tumble. Not the new line of Kenmore and Kenmore Elite washers. They move in five unique and revolutionary ways. Smart Motion Technology is based on the agile Direct Drive Motor that precisely controls the action of the drum, creating five unique wash motions, so everything from rugged workwear to denim to lingerie gets just the right amount of care. Consumers get the best of both worlds -- cleaning power and fabric care -- in one washer. The five wash motions are custom combined for each wash cycle to give the right amount of care to each garment type. The five motions include:
-- Tumbling - Conventional wash motion where clothes are moved from the
bottom of the drum to the top of the drum in a large, circular motion.
-- Rolling - Clothes are gently moved in a small circle along the bottom of
the drum, keeping them immersed in water.
-- Scrubbing - The drum alternates direction causing friction between the
clothes, which creates a scrubbing effect and keeps clothes immersed in
water.
-- Swinging - Clothes are gently tossed side-to-side for a delicate hand
wash effect.
-- Stepping - Clothes are lifted to the top of the drum and then dropped
sharply to the bottom of the drum.
Stain Treat(TM) Option: Concentrates On Stains, So You Don't Have To
The Stain Treat option virtually eliminates the need to pre-treat stains by tackling tough set-in messes like syrup, grass, coffee and grape juice.(1) It lets you kiss stain sticks and sprays goodbye.
Vibration Guard(TM) Technology: So Quiet You Won't Even Know It's On
Vibration Guard Technology is designed to provide smooth, quiet performance with every load. The Direct Drive Motor combined with vibration dampers and a balancing system works to reduce noise and vibration so customers can enjoy quiet operation.
Greener Appliances: Savings You Can See
The ingenious Cold Clean(TM) cycle uses cold water to clean clothes as effectively as warm-water cycles while using 43 percent less energy than the already highly efficient Normal cycle. All Kenmore and Kenmore Elite High-Efficiency washers meet the new ENERGY STAR(R) criteria(2) and let customers save more money, more water and more energy. In addition, every Kenmore washer meets Tier 3 high-efficiency specifications established by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), a nonprofit organization that promotes energy efficient products and services.
Washers Meet Their Perfect Match: Dryers That Finally Treat Your Clothes Right
The new Kenmore dryer line combines all the elements that customers look for, such as large capacity, great drying results and convenience, and puts them all in a super stylish package that beautifully matches the washer line. The line meets every drying need, with cycles including:
-- Adds Convenience with SteamCare(TM) Technology - Steam is used to relax
wrinkles and reduce odors in just 20 minutes. Steam also powers the
Static Shield(TM) option, which reduces static cling and the need for
dryer sheets.
-- Sanitizes Items Without Getting Them Wet - The NSF(R) certified(3)
Sanitize Cycle eliminates 99.9 percent of certain bacteria by reaching
and sustaining the required temperatures for sanitization. Perfect for
items that need to remain dry such as teddy bears and pillows.
-- Cares for Sensitive Fabrics - The Khaki/Jeans Cycle lowers the drying
temperature and retains a higher moisture content in garments to help
protect and care for fabrics that are prone to shrinking and fading such
as khakis and jeans.
-- Provides Gentle Care to Clothes - Dual Sensor Dry Technology offers a
more gentle way to dry. This technology automatically detects the
moisture content in clothes to apply the right drying temperature and
time.
-- Dries in No Time - Express Dry Cycle lets you get dressed and go. This
cycle quickly dries a small load in less than 30 minutes.(4)
-- Dries Shoes Without the Noise - The Drying Rack gently dries shoes
without tumbling them, and it is perfect for sweaters and other lay flat
items.
High Design Exterior: Breakthrough Style, Groundbreaking User Interface
The new front-load line has been redesigned from top to bottom. From the sleek lines to a head-turning integrated square door design, to an innovative and intuitive control panel, these pairs are a work of art.
-- SmoothTouch(TM) Controls - Make it easy for customers to choose cycles
and options with intuitive audio/visual cues to guide them every step of
the way. The chrome knob is circled by a unique blue LED ring that adds
a touch of modern sophistication. Lockout prevents little ones from
activating the controls.
-- Designer Colors - Put the emphasis on style in the laundry room. Select
models are available in rich signature colors like Ginger and Chili
Pepper, for customers looking to make a splash. Every model is available
in White for customers looking for a clean, classic look.
The all-new High-Efficiency lineup offers customers access to more models, more features, more convenience, more performance and more style. No matter the level, customers can expect superior cleaning, capacity, conservation and clothes care from products in the new lineup. Customers can mix and match steam and non-steam models to create their perfect pair:
