The Kenmore 4997 is a mid-grade front-load washing machine. The Kenmore 4997 washing machine can handle a 4.0 cu foot load size; which Kenmore quotes to be equivalent to a maximum of 23 bath towels per one load. The body design of the device is made up of a steel frame that is adorned with a professional painted finish available in two distinct colors; white and blue. The biggest feature of the 4997 model is the Energy Star qualification, Eco friendly certification, and Energy Guide functions; Kenmore claims this allows users to save up to 70% more energy and 68% more water when compared to a conventional top load washer (manufacturer before 2004, using normal cycle). The Kenmore 4997 also includes patented Catalyst cleaning action technology which allows fabrics and clothing to receive an enhanced cleaning; a special sanitation cycle also eliminates what Kenmore claims to be "99.9% of certain household bacteria". A professional StainTreat technology cycle ensures the clothing and fabrics soak for an extended period of time to loosen tough to remove stains. The device also includes patented QuietPack 4 sound insulation which is specifically designed to keep noise and vibrations to a minimum. The Kenmore 4997 device also features a 1050 RPM max spin speed which lessens the overall total drying time of washed fabrics; Kenmore claims the speed enables the device to be "extremely efficient". The 4997 machine includes additional features such as a stainless steel wash basket, full electronic and pre-programmed controls for adjusting different settings all displayed via a small front panel LCD display, 5 separate water temperatures, 12 different standard and special wash/rinse cycles, a timed dispenser that can handle detergent, bleach and fabric softener, permanent press support, special sound signals and status lights added to alert users about end of cycle and load times, and estimated time left displayed via the aforementioned front panel display.
