The problem my family has always had with Kenmore appliances is that they've been darned hard to get parts for, so if the thing ever breaks down, you've got to wait quite a while for the part to arrive (if they have it at all).
Another really cheap option: Habitat for Humanity. They operate a charity shop in our town that has pretty much everything you could ever need for a house, from furniture to light fixtures to appliances. The appliances they sell aren't as cheap as other charity shops, but they've typically been checked out and tested; they also tend to get better appliances in than other places I've seen.
