Appliances from Sears

Changes in the ways we live are triggering a transformation in major appliances. Today, major appliances look different, use advanced technologies, consume fewer natural resources and offer more features that make them easy to use and care for. These changes make major appliances better suited to contemporary lifestyles.

Product design

Whichever major appliance you're shopping for, you have plenty of choices in design: Top-load and Front-load washing machines. Ranges that stand alone or drop into the counter, cooktops with a choice of burner types, including modular ones you can swap out. Refrigerators with the freezer on the top or bottom, with standard doors, French doors or side-by-side doors. Dishwashers with controls visible on the front dishwasher panelor hidden on top of the door. Microwaves that mount over the range , sit on the counter or are built into the cabinet.

Advanced technologies

Major appliance manufacturers have embraced technologies spawned in the computer industry. That why you see digital displays and electronic controls instead of traditional knobs on many models. Many advances are unique to appliances, such as new airflow systems that make refrigerator temperatures more uniform; that good news for the gallon of milk stored in the door bin. Dishwashers have better sound buffering, so you don have to retreat to the living room for after-dinner conversations. Washers release detergent, softener and bleach at just the right moment, and dryers sense how much moisture is left in the load, thus preventing fiber-frazzling overdrying as well as underdrying. Steam washer and dryers take laundry to the next plane, with improved cleaning, odor removal and wrinkle reduction. Some appliances even are equipment with remote diagnostics that let technicians use signals sent from the appliance by phone to troubleshoot problems.
