Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Stands out for the 4.2 cu. ft. interior that comes at a lower price than similarly-sized models. Controls are straightforward and easy to master. Classic look that appeals to consumers who aren't into modern designs.
The anti-corrosive tub has a load capacity of up to 4.2 cubic feet. For a budget washing machine, this is actually a decent size. This lets users wash more clothes per washing cycle, and it can hold onto large volumes of water so bigger loads can be cleaned more effectively.
Kenmore's $720 22352 top-load washing machine has all of the standard settings you need for less. It removes stains well, too, and is extra gentle on clothes.

This Kenmore has a larger capacity—claimed to be 4.2 cubic feet. And wash time is longer, clocking in at 55 minutes. That's using a normal wash, heavy-soil setting. You'll save time using the normal-soil setting. This washer has a deep-fill option that lets you increase the amount of water, and an extra rinse cycle.

What reviewers didn't like

Doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. A few owners gripe about a low water fill level and noisy operation.
One missing feature that is of significant importance is a digital ETA reader for cycle times, which, unfortunately, is not available on this machine.
The 22352's MSRP seems a little high given that it's the most pared-down washing machine we've tested thus far. Don't expect any luxury features or design flourishes here.

It is very noisy
