I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this washer from Amazon. There were a few negative reviews about this particular model, however I decided that it had all the features I needed and the price was right.
I have no regrets and it is an awesome washing machine. Most of the negative reviews complained about the low water levels due to it being an HE machine. I wish that customers would take a second and read the manual before they freak out and complain. This washing machine will not fill up like the one you had 20 years ago! It has many different stages in a wash cycle. First, gravity will pull the soapy water through all of your clothes when you start the cycle. From there, the machine will agitate the clothes in one direction, while the drum moves in the opposite direction. This causes the clothes to "roll over" through the soapy water hundreds of times. While it is doing this, the washer will add more water from the top and bottom, ensuring that your clothes are clean. I had it for about a month now and probably have run through 25 loads and our stuff has never been cleaner.
The washer is huge and you can shove a ton of stuff in there. I really like the multiple cleaning compartments on the top for detergent, bleach, fabric softener and Oxi. I've used all of that and it works perfectly.
I was close to buying a similar model from Best Buy. So glad I did not. At Best Buy they had a delivery fee, a haul away fee, a set up fee and you had to pay for hoses too. Amazon included all of that and the price you pay will include set up, all necessary connections, leveling, and removal/haul away of your old one. That alone saved me another $150.00 in extra costs.
Don't hesitate. It's a great washing machine at a very good price.
I love this washer! It can fit a California king comforter with room to spare.
I usually don't get too excited about appliances unless they're kitchen gadgets but I'm pretty stoked about the washer and dryer.
Looks can definitely be deceiving. This washer looks slim and trim but open the lid and it's HUGE! Like Bigly! It's so deep that I sometimes have to stand on my tip toes to reach the clothes at the bottom. I can wash everything in my home in this machine - large loads, comforters, even body pillows. Because it's so large I spend less time on laundry since I don't have to split loads in two now. It actually cleans well. It's not very loud either. My other machine sounded like a jet on the spin cycle and is have to wash sine loads twice.
The washer is super simple to operate. There's a display that tells you how much time remains, and each cycle is easily identified by a light. I especially like that I can preset it to rinse twice and even fill the tub higher if needed.
I have been using the washer and dryer for several weeks and am very pleased.
On a related note. The haul away option is great. You still get the same service you would receive if you had purchased in-store. The delivery team is professional and knowledgeable as well
We dumped our sleek, finicky "all-digital LG washer" (without an inside agitator column) with over-sensitive sensors. The LG top of the line digital washer constantly leaked and digitally malfunctioned. And we spent hours and hours on the phone with a tech in the Philippines going through endless time-consuming digital routines they coached for hours. Decided to dump the LG after less than a year. It was a challenge to find a "more conventional" washer minus the nonsensical and over-sensitive digital technology.
(Fact: LG the cellphone maker doesn't know much about clothes washers!!). We dumped the twelve-hundred dollar LG and took a chance on a barely-digital and much cheaper Kenmore 22352 4.2 cu. ft. Top-Load Washer w/ Deep Fill. The Kenmore turned out to be a TOP-FIND for me. Its efficient operation and RELIABILITY are superior to both of my two previous digital-hyped washers that failed miserably. The Kenmore 22352 is excellent in performance efficiency, timing, reliability. This Kenmore is a real workhorse that handles anything from delicate fabrics to large dog beds and large bed comforters/duvets. It has no problem with unbalanced loads, either. It manages these 100% by itself.
With its proven reliability we don't have to worry about finicky digital sensors. Works perfectly every wash no matter what setting we use. Bravo, Kenmore, on producing this modern, efficient, common sense agitator washer design.
I bought this to replace an LG front loader because I could never get rid of the mold in the machine that left everything with a horrible odor. Otherwise, I had no problem with that machine - or so I thought!
This Kenmore almost makes me enjoy laundry. It’s FAST! Less than an hour per large load. I did 3 loads in about 3 hours which would have been all day in the LG. It spins everything so dry it has cut my drying time in half. And my clean laundry smells clean!
It’s not beautiful but it’s a washing machine not home decor, lol. The only thing I wish it has is a signal (bell or something) to let me know the load is complete.

Description
With the Kenmore Elite Top-Load Washer with Steam Treat and Accela Wash, enjoy powerful cleaning performance while saving energy and water. The washer uses advanced motion technology and powerful water jets to penetrate deep stains so clothes come out exceptionally clean and fresh. And with the Accela Wash option and up to 5.2 cubic feet of capacity, you'll save time by washing large loads. Here are some tips to avoid white residue while washing. Use liquid HE detergent to the first line of the cap. If using HE powder detergent or pods make sure to add it to the tub before adding clothes to allow it to dissolve properly. Do not overload the machine. Use a cycle other than “Normal” like “Heavy Duty” or “Bulky” while avoiding “Express” when necessary. Use the “Deep Fill” option and/or the “Fabric Softener” option, if available, as these options will add more water to the cycle. Use cooler water temperatures, but not “tap cold” as detergent requires 60 degree water to dissolve. Add up to 2 extra rinses. Additional notes include using the clean washer cycle if the washer is not new. If these tips do not fix the issue, a service technician should be called to evaluate.
I am happy with the washer it works great and holds plenty. I have a family of 6 so we wash lots and often. I was concerned about the product but we have had this for a few months and all is well. The only adjustment was that it does not have a digital readout for cycle time so you don’t have an eta on when the load will finish.
However I had issues with the delivery I scheduled for one time and the delivery guys came hours earlier and no one was home. When I complained about this they attempted to to leave and require us to reschedule delivery. I called Amazon right away and they came back. My only true complaint was that Amazon said they would compensate me for the inconvenience sadly nothing has happened.
GREAT MACHINE FOR THE PRICE..SIMPLE TO OPERATE..NO BELLS AND WHISTLES AND CAN WASH A FULL LOAD IN UNDER 1 HOUR...SOME WHIRLPOOL ONES CAN GO ON FOR 2 HOURS+.
GREAT WASHING MACHINE...WILL USE AGAIN
Nice basic machine with no frills. I would prefer one that was even simpler where I could just set my own water level instead of the "auto", which is just one more thing to go wrong. I like that it has a flat metal top as we often store heavy pots on it. I didn't want glass or a curved aerodynamic top. The machine it replaced was a high end LG that only lasted 5 years. The LG has "smart" diagnosis that linked to a cell phone. This feature didn't work as it it just gave us an error code that was no help. Previously we had an expensive front loading Maytag that similarly didn't last very long and had mold issues. This machine is similar to our older machines that lasted many years so we have hope. The price is low enough that I wouldn't feel the need to ever repair it. It has an old fashion real agitator center post and does as good job of cleaning. After all, the purpose of a washing machine is to get clothes clean not not to save water! (I could save even more water by wearing dirty clothes!).
Amazon has a great price. I paid $588 at Sears and was told it was "on sale". The next week I kept getting pop-ups on my PC that the price was $499 at Sears. I called for a price adjustment and after spending a long time on the phone I was told I need to go to the store to get an adjustment. I went to the store and was told that the $499 sale was over and the price was now $620!. I even had a print out of the Sears ad at $499, but they wouldn't honor. Then I noticed the Amazon price was only $449, so I returned the washer to Sears and got the identical one delivered from Amazon for $449! Yes, it took considerable efforts, but I am now happy and saved $184. Sears also wanted an additional $25 to remove my old machine and $20 for hoses that I didn't want. Amazon removed my old machine for free and also was going to supply hoses. I didn't want the hoses because I wanted to use the upgraded stainless hoses that I had already purchased from Amazon. I originally told Sears I didn't want to buy the hoses, but they put them on the order anyway.
It has been over a month now and we are still very happy with machine. My wife was very happy about being able to wash our largest comforter without getting a "balance error" like our old LG use to often do. This machine works hard and doesn't complain!
I researched washing machines before making this purchase.
The delivery and setup was flawless. The gentlemen were very courteous, quick and professional. They were in and out within 15 minutes
I've had this washer along with the smart dryer (model b073rlk6hw) for about a month now. I waited a few weeks to make sure I could give an honest review after substantial use. I absolutely love it! It's HUGE! The tub is so deep that I have to use a pair of long tongs to get the clothes from the very bottom (this is not a complaint). I can even wash my huge comforters - that I used to take to the laundromat because they didn't fit in my old washer- in this machine. My past experience with HE machines haven't been good but this Kenmore completely changed my mind. It actually cleans VERY well, which is most important! The lid is see through so you can see it in action. It's got all the bells and whistles and some pretty awesome features. A digital display lets you know exactly how much time you have left. There are settings for bedding and bulky items, whites, heavy duty, etc. You can even set the spin level. Other features include deep filling the tub, setting the soil level, which is great for ensuring gym clothes and sports uniforms are super clean. There's even an oxi option that time releases to ensure you get the maximum benefit for cleaner clothes. The team that works with Amazon to deliver the appliances (Innovel) are awesome. They set everything up for me and even hauled away the old washer and dryer. They went through the majority of the features and made sure I knew how to operate the washer and dryer before they left. They were in contact with me after purchase to set delivery times and even called during the delivery window to let me know when they were 30 minutes out. The Kenmore product itself and the service I received from Amazon and Innovel are amazing. I had doubts about ordering large appliances online but this process was so easy that I'll definitely do it again.
