Overview
The Kenmore 2629182 is a 4.1 cu. ft. top-load washer with a triple action agitator and 10 wash cycles, built for households that want a traditional agitator wash with faster cycle options like Accela Wash and a 28-minute Express Wash for small loads.
Reviews for this washer run heavily positive, with buyers comparing it favorably to the Whirlpool-made Kenmore lineage and noting strong cleaning and spin performance. The main design tradeoff mentioned is tub depth: at least one reviewer flags that anyone under about 5 feet 2 inches will need a step stool to reach clothes at the bottom of the basket.
- 4.1 cu. ft. capacity, holds up to 20 bath towels in one load
- Triple action agitator: spray, basket movement and agitator motion
- Express Wash cleans a 3-lb load in 28 minutes
- 10 wash cycles, 2 options and 4 temperature settings
Who it's for
Suits households that prefer an agitator wash over an impeller design and want capacity for bulky loads like queen-size quilts and up to 20 bath towels in one run, and is less ideal for shorter users who will need a step stool for the deep tub
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers are largely positive, praising strong cleaning performance, a powerful spin that shortens drying time, and quieter operation than some prior washers. The recurring critique is the deep tub: at least one reviewer says anyone shorter than about 5 feet 2 inches will need a step stool to reach clothes at the bottom, and another wished the fabric softener compartment were larger.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Deep tub is hard to reach into for anyone under about 5 feet 2 inches without a step stool
- One reviewer found the fabric softener compartment too small
- Listed width dimension was wrong in at least one product image per a reviewer
Performance notes
The triple action agitator combines a concentrated detergent spray, back-and-forth basket movement and circular agitator motion, and reviewers describe a strong spin cycle that pulls enough water out to shorten dryer time. Express Wash handles a 3-lb load in 28 minutes, while Accela Wash speeds up full loads by up to 14% versus a standard cycle.
