Average user rating

Overview

Editor Rating 3.7  This large capacity washing machine is perfect for a big family. Although priced on the expensive side, the Kenmore Oasis HE 27062 is good value for the money. Its advanced technology makes it an efficient washing machine engaging plenty of choices for wash cycles.  However, the difficulty in leveling this machine is one of its major flaws.

 Full Review

The Kenmore Oasis HE 27062 is a top load washing machine with a super large capacity - 4.5 cu/ ft. It has an amazing 17 wash presets including Permanent Press, Delicates, Hand Wash, Mixed Colors, Wrinkle-Free, Soaking, and Cotton.

The Kenmore Oasis HE 27062 has 3 spin speeds and an automatic water level mechanism. This allows you to make a simple setting on the washing machine without worrying about water levels. As for water temperature, it can be set to one of five levels.

The electronic controls on the Kenmore Oasis HE 27062 are easy to operate and are stylishly modern. They combine touch controls and rotary controls and include a delayed start timer and a time remaining indicator.

The Kenmore Oasis HE 27062 is only available in white and the tub is made from heavy-duty stainless steel. This guarantees years of reliable service.

On the negative side, the washing machine can be difficult to level. Unless perfectly leveled, the machine has a tendency to "walk" which can damage the interior plastic tub. We feel this is a serious design flaw in an otherwise respectable machine. The Kenmore Oasis HE 27062 comes with a one year Parts and Labor warranty.

In Use

The Oasis HE 27062 is stylish machine that looks great in the laundry room. The controls are very well laid out and easy to use. The large capacity tub can handle the largest loads you can give it. It is also a very quiet machine as long as it is properly leveled. Unfortunately, this is not an easy process, and an unleveled washing machine is noisy and can damage the interior plastic tub.

We have had this very expensive model for less than two years. Last week it quit. Repair man charged us $75 to tell us we need $500 worth of repairs. This product is riddled with design flaws and Kenmore refuses to recall the circuit boards, the culprit of most of the problems. Ours needs a new circuit board and pump. The unit severely tangles clothes and doesn't do a good job of getting easy stains out as well. Do yourself a favor and get a $500 model w/o all the bells and whisltes as they are simply trouble waiting to happen. Realize it's a washine machin=e and not a ceterpiece.
