Hi Brice, Kenmore is made by World Pool. Both are very good machines. We have had both.
We purchase a World Pool about four years ago. We meaning my sighted wife and I looked at a lot of wash machines. We learned that almost all the machines on the market now take longer in their cycles to wash the clothes. This is part of the water savings steps use: less water, longer cycles. Its true with almost all of them. Its something we learned that we just have to get use to. A side not, My wife liked the Maytag but it was a visual screen to select the cycle. I couldn't use it. The Kenmore front load we found had both a visual screen and preselect buttons. My wife likes to adjust the cycles depending on the load of clothes she is doing. The buttons with the preselct cycles I could use. The buttons are in a flower paddern with the center of the flower being the start button. There are eight buttons around the center start button. Press the cycle you want and then the center button to start. It was very very easy to use--not that she lets me do any wash. Its more of the thing of future safty. I pointed out to her if she sprained an ankel and be laid up for a week, I'd have to be able to run the washer. She agreed. Dave A.

There is a wash room that had both a washing machine and dryer that the previous owner left. Both are in excellent condition.. Both units are made by World pool. I've never owned a world pool, just Kenmore's. With the Kenmore, a normal load took no more than 40 minutes to finish. With this World pool, it seems as if it takes a hour an a half. The tub fills up, then it does it's adjatating cycle, drains, spins, tub fills again for a cycle and starts adjatating again, drain again, then starts spinning where you hear some water being injected into the tub as it spins. Then the water injection stops and it spins for about 5 minutes. In the pas with the Kenmore, the load would be finished, but with this woorldpool after what you'd think was the final cycle, you hear a buzz alerting that the load is done. But Wrong! The whole cycle starts over again. Is there a setting that allows this second cycleto be shut off? I'm wasting both water and power with this unnecessary secon cycle. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4979 (20100328) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com <http://www.eset.com>
