Beautiful and functional Washer.
Date of Review: Dec 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would buy this Whirlpool washer again. I would recommend reading the users manual though so you understand the way it works. Its so stylish.
I like this Whirlpool Washer. It is so pretty and modern looking. It does take 50 mins for an average cycle but the clothes come out much drier than from a regular top loader. It is also very quiet, so much so I can hardly hear it when I am ten feet away.
It has a TON of cycles and even has a cycle where it cleans itself with chlorine bleach. Make sure you use CHLORINE BLEACH for this feature. It tells you on the face of the washer but I thought non-chlorine would work as well and it does not and foams all over the place. User error, no fault of the washer.
The only thing I was hoping was different is that I am still going to have to wash my overstuffed california king comforter at the laundry mat. I can wash a queen or small king in this washer but the HUGE one is too big. As it says in the user guide, if you overstuff then the item could get grease from one of the internal parts on it. Again, no fault of the washer, I guess this was just wishful thinking on my part. I should have known as I have to cram it in the large washer at the laudry mat.
You do have to make sure that the washer is completely balanced. If ours was off even 1/4 inch or less is dramatically increased the noise of the spin cycle and also decreased the amount of water that was removed from the clothes.
I got the matching dryer and also the laundry platform that goes on the top and the trio look amazing.
