    • High-Efficiency: true (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
    • Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
    • Washing Mechanism: Impeller (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)

    Great buy can’t beat the price.

    Large capacity. Deep cold water wash. The extra spin and rinse. Just makes it a great buy. Can’t beat this deal Only con is that it makes loud noise on its final spin.

    Ok washer

    This washer does the job. However, if I could choose all over again I would not get this model. The washing cycles are too long and the auto sensing is incredibly loud. The cycles switching from one to another make a loud noise. I'm not sure how it can be more efficient if it washes longer than my old ancient model did?? There are only 2 cycles basically because if you choose anything other than quick wash or deep wash and rinse your washer will be going for over an hour... Almost 2.. Makes no sense. I would not recommend this washer... The best thing about it is you can put 2 comforters in it or a lot of clothing and it not be cramped...

    Follow manufacturer instructions for clean result

    I purchased the Whirlpool top-load (impeller) washer to replace a Whirlpool top-load (agitator) washer that failed unexpectedly. The impeller action is much better than the agitator. I like the many options offered for wash temperature, water level and rinse & wash cycles. (The whites w/soak & colors w/soak cycles are favorites.) Follow the manual's instructions on how to correctly load the machine & determine the amount of detergent needed for each size load.
