We got the biggest Kenmore front loaders we could find because they'll take king-sized blankets --- and we didn't even worry about them "matching," let alone having fancy colors, since they're just going to sit in the laundry room anyway

From what I understand, the "name-brand" manufacturers also make the guts of all the Kenmore washer/dryers, so you're not getting anything more by paying for the brand names (Maytag, etc.) and Sears has a very good repair/service policy.
