In addition, the Kenmore 6809 offers 6 standard cycles (casual, damp dry, heavy duty, normal, permanent press, 90-minute timed dry), 9 special cycles (air dry, express dry, large items, sensor dry, Steam-Care touch up, Steam-Care refresh, towels, ultra delicate, Wrinkle Guard 150), and 6 temperature options. In fact, the Steam-Care and Wrinkle Guard cycles were specifically developed by Kenmore to relax clothes and keep them wrinkle free. Like its peers (6808 and 6807), the Kenmore 6809 also boasts GentleHeat technology that measures temperature and moisture to automatically stop the cycle and prevent over drying. The Kenmore 6809 also comes equipped with 4-way venting, an end-of-cycle signal, a QuietPak 9 package, a ClearView door, a check-lint reminder screen light, and a Kenmore Exclusive heated dryer rack that is described as drying laundry 3 times faster than conventional dryer racks. The Kenmore 6809 retails for $1099.99 (same as the 6808) in white and $1199.99 in twilight, and can be purchased at either Sears or K-Mart. Although the Kenmore 6809 comes with a 1 year limited warranty, extended 3YR and 5YR In-Home Master Protection plans are available for a fee.
