Today, many households own one or more Kenmore products. This brand has become one of the most easily recognized in the industry. The product selection is diverse and goes beyond refrigerators to include vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers, barbecue grills, heat pumps, water softeners, air purifiers, stoves, gas furnaces, sewing machines, microwaves, and many other appliances.
Kenmore began in 1927 when the brand began appearing on laundry appliances offered by Sears. Consumers favored Kenmore over the store’s many other brands, and by the mid 1930s, Kenmore had sold one million items.
Ironically, the very first Kenmore washing machine, which was the initial product with the brand name to be sold by sears, went unnoticed. It wasn’t even featured in the store’s catalog the year it was introduced. Today, no known images of the original 1927 Kenmore washer exist.
World War II brought about many changes in the country, and Kenmore adapted quickly. The Kenmore Harmony House appliance line was introduced and utilized the most recent technology of the time. The Harmony House line came in a handful of brilliant, unique colors, from Malibu Coral to Sunshine yellow, as well as traditional white.
Today, Kenmore offers many stylish, functional refrigerator units for the household. Although you won’t find bright colors in the modern Kenmore catalog, the available designs have their own individual personalities. Consumers can choose from side by side door models, bottom freezer designs, freezerless refrigerators, counter depth units and compact refrigerators.
Standard white is still available, as well as shimmering chrome, and chrome with black accents as well as solid black models. These come with all the standard features as well as extra functions, including built in ice makers. Other Kenmore refrigerator products include wine cellar units and chest freezers.
