I'd say the Kenmore did just as well when it was working correctly. However, after about 5 years, the suspension on the drum failed. I literally had to replace the shocks and springs like it was a car. However, I guess I didn't do it quickly enough because after about another year, we started finding beige plastic shavings in our clothes and it started making more noise.

The main bearing failed so the tub was wobbling within the drum. The plastic bits were the drum being shaved away by the stainless tub. It wasn't worth fixing.
