The Kenmore line was at one time considered to be the best.Welcome to the 21st century. Kenmore brand, nowadays, is manufactured "generally" by Whirlpool corp. but also by General Elecric and Electrolux corp. (Frigidaire). The problem is you have no idea who manufactured it unless your in the business or until you need service. The purpose of Kenmore brand is so that you cannot take an appliances model number and go anywhere else to compare cost. P.S. take Consumer Reports ratings with a "grain of salt". A recent issue gave Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Kitchenaid brand Over the range microwave ovens a #1 rating while they had 1,800,000 piece recall on these units because they posed a fire hazard.
