I have had a number of Kenmore products over the decades and have been very satisfied with them.
My Kenmore washer and dryer are still going strong after 5 years of heavy use. Wish I could say the same for my GE appliances.
I was at Ace Hardware yesterday, first time in many years, and noticed that they sell Craftsman.
The only thing I've done is replace one belt and two timers
I’ve had good experiences with Kenmore myself.
I worked a temporary job for Sanyo at the border in San Diego. The Kenmore refrigerators are Sanyo refrigerators manufactured at the Sanyo factory in Tijuana. The only difference between the Kenmore refrigerator and the Sanyo model in the name plate.
My Kenmore sewing machine is almost 50 years old and still working fine. The plastic junk they’re making these days probably would not last nearly as long.
