No delicate cycle!
This machine has no delicate cycle! Even my portable has that. Anyone else seen one of these? The model number is 110.92573210. Notice that it does have a heavy-duty cycle, which not only has fast agitation, but also a whopping 14 minute wash time. It's like it's meant for bachelors. Bachelors who work in a foundry and moonlight at EZ Lube.
I can't fit comforters in my washer, so a friend of mine let me use hers. I hesitated, but used it anyway. I changed the rollers, belt, and idler in her dryer, too. Quieted it down a lot. I used to do most of my laundry there, so I felt I should do that now that things are going better for me.

According to the lid
it agitates fast on heavy duty, and slow on normal and permanent press. It spins fast on heavy duty and normal, slow on PP. It doesn't change agitation speed during a cycle, and it doesn't have intermittent agitation on any cycle. It does do the cool down refill on PP. It had been a while since I had used it, and I had never washed a comforter in it, so I didn't remember that it had no delicate cycle. Not had occasion to need one. That said, I'm a little surprised that they ever made one that way.

I have had my Shredmore for 14 years and no problems washing comforters in it.
Same programs as the washer shown. Normal is slow fast, Heavy is fast fast, Perma press is slow slow.
I have a dog and wash comforters all the time, not a big deal.

I seem to recall these machines getting unusually low cleaning scores from Consumer Reports, because, at the time, CR was testing washers using their Normal cycles.
When Whirlpool-made machines starting using slower agitation speeds on their Normal cycles, CR changed their modus operandi and tested whichever cycle was the most vigorous----Heavy Duty on some, Normal on others.
Our 1960 Kenmore Model 80 used to use a stepped agitation protocol on the Sturdy Wash 'n' Wear cycle; four minutes fast followed by four minutes slow agitation.

I run jeans on a routine basis, as well as heavy blankets, pillows, and what ever comforter will fit. Rollover is great; the cork-screw design helps reduce billowing significantly. Shredmores are among the easiest machines to fix. They may not be for everybody, but I have never had any bad experiences with them. A couple five-minute cycles on a Maytag A50 twin-tub, however....

I think
the Gentle settings that are part of the P-Press or Normal cycle is intended for delicates on this model. Slow agitation w/slow or fast spin respectively.
Surely, Kenmore had another model that either had more cycles or a speed selector swtich if someone wanted or needed that additional flexibility.

Is that a mid-90's 70 Series? I think the 80 series and 90 series have the speed selector knob. In fact I believe several revisions of the 90 series have speed selector knobs, while the speed in determined by the cycle on the timer.

It may only have a single speed motor. You don't see them often, but there are single speed DD's.
