Kenmore 27-Inch Stacked Electric Washer/Dryer in White 94812

Date Published: 5/15/08

Save space and run large loads of laundry with the full-size Kenmore 27-Inch Stacked Electric Washer/Dryer in White 94812 from Sears. Although the 98412 is somewhat smaller than the largest machines available, it is as large as any model that predates the appliance manufacturer's recent race to super capacity sizes. With 3.0 cubic feet of tub capacity, this model can easily handle the wash loads produced by a family--even one with a bunch of active kids.

A well-rounded selection of features makes it easy to care for most fabrics, even with this spacious-efficient stacker. A full 11 wash cycles and options give you plenty of control over the wash cycles. Dirt and stains get extra attention thanks to three pre-wash options that can be tailored to fabric type. Variable speed options and four temperature combinations make it possible to care for even delicate fabrics without risking damage from heat and over-agitation. Likewise, the features of this electric dryer provide plenty of alternatives for even hard-to-care-for loads. Nine options and five temperature selections make it easy to find just the right cycle for whatever you may choose to wash.

Special cycles are also included for wrinkle removal and drying of heavy items such as towels. Although smaller than many of the extra-large dryers available, you'll be surprised at how much will actually fit in this drum. The trade-off for gaining useable space in the laundry may make this option worthwhile indeed.


Pro: save space and make more efficient use of the laundry room, lots of options for various load types
Con: both washer and dryer are somewhat smaller than the large size separate units
