Customers are delighted by the Cabrio washer's large capacity, which easily accommodates items like king-size comforters. The machine is praised for its quiet operation and effective cleaning performance, with many users noting its ease of use and appealing design. While some users mentioned that the spin cycle could be improved, the positive feedback on capacity, noise level, and cleaning ability outweighs this concern. The overall experience is described as positive and efficient.
Bought this paired with the dryer. I have had them for a few weeks now and I can say it is possible to love a machine . It's quiet. The tub is huge ! I have to go on my tippy toes to reach the bottom . I have washed comforters and blankets with ease. No more special trips to the laundry mat . I love the range of hot / cold water and soil button . There is also a deep water setting I think is great . I have not tried the steam setting yet but I'm sure I will love that feature too. I am very happy with the washer . Was also able to purchase a hassle free protection plan priced reasonably too.

My wife loves this machine. I got it for her for Christmas. It gets clothes really clean and saves water, while still getting the entire load wet. She loves the extra large tub and can clean large comforters now at home. This machine is quiet and plays music when it is finished. She does need to stretch to reach the bottom of the tub but manages ok. We are extremely happy with this machine. Great choice!!

I had a May tag front load washer for about 6yrs and grown fairly used to the moldy smell on my clothes. When it finally stopped working correctly, I figured it was time to get back to a top load and say goodbye to mildew smells. I went into the store looking for a different model, but ended up on this one because it was a better deal and bigger for my king sized comforters. This thing is WAY bigger than it looks. A fu load in my old washer is less than half a load in this one. Please make sure you leave a space in the center for an imaginary agitator. If you don't, then it forms a pocket with the water and it won't wash your clothes fully. The critique I would make would be to have it close the detergent drawer when you close the lid. I don't even want to count the times we forgot to close the drawer and opened the washer to wet and unclean clothes...but that is user error and not a flaw.
