Long story short, we had an LG top loader that was awful and could never finish a load without going out of balance no matter what we did to fix it. We finally opted to upgrade and I in no way regret it. All my clothes smell great, the spin can sometimes get a little crazy starting off, but it spins my clothes nearly dry. I would not recommend this washer if you’re looking for something quiet. We have ours in the second floor hallway laundry closet and from downstairs it sounds like a helicopter taking off. As long as you don’t mind the noise, this is a wonderful machine and offers many helpful features.

I’ve only had it installed for a week but so far so good. I had it professionally installed via Best Buy onto a concrete floor in my basement. The first time I ran it through I just let it choose it’s own settings for water temp and spin dry and soil. Then once I got the hang of it I now choose my own settings. If I’m washing towels then heavy soil high temp. If work clothes then delicate low temp low soil. The high soil option for towels takes 2+ hours but these towels smell like new. Delicates take 40 mins. Average load takes about an hour.

We love it. Our prior machine required three loads where this one you can get it done in one. What a huge difference when you have a family, saves so much time.

Washer stopped working within 45 days. I’ve had repair people here twice. They can’t get it working. Machine won’t drain. Sometimes has leaked on the floor. Don’t waste your money. You are better off just throwing clothes in a bathtub with detergent and water. We are in the middle of a pandemic. I don’t want people to keep coming to my house when it can’t be fixed. Hopefully whirlpool does the right thing and replaces defective appliance. Also been on hold trying to get this resolved for an hour.

The most disgusting purchase i ever made in my life was the Maytag top loader washing machine. It does not clean anything properly. The Whirlpool top loader works great and it cleans so much better. Its very easy to use and the controls totally makes sense. I love the fact that the top row of buttons is labeled as a group WHAT ARE YOU WASHING then the buttons below is labeled HOW ARE YOU WASHING IT. Then it automatically sets up the water temp and spin cycle. Besides pressing the extra rinse button, thats pretty much it. Also i want to mention that its very quiet.

We have had this frontload washer for a few weeks now. We cannot believe how quiet this machine is during all cycles including the spin cycle. We had a whirlpool duet before and this one is quieter than that with a much larger capacity. We now are able to put the amount of clothes in that they say you can and they come out clean And smelling fresh. I would highly recommend this washer for anybody it has been wonderful.

A little pricier than other brands for comparable features, but worth it for a well-built Whirlpool brand machine.
No frills like Wi-Fi or interior lighting, but does well with what it's supposed to do.
Very easy to use, cleans very well, love the Load & Go dispenser and steam clean features.
Seems to be well-made (and is extremely heavy). Hope it'll last at least 10 years.

I got my washer yesterday. It was easy to hook up. It is very easy to operate. It feels heavy duty. I keep hearing people say that washer is rocking and moving around. It only moves if it is not leveled properly. Jus make sure if you purchase it that all 4 legs are equally leveled. I noticed my clothes were so very very clean. Also it is a very efficient washer only using the correct amount of water for each load. The wash and go feature is very nice. It knows how much detergent to use and I really like that. So far it is very good washer and I have washed three loads. I recommend this to anyone.

It's good. It's pretty quiet. If you can, get the extension from the floor so it sits higher if your plan is to put it on the ground. It washes really well and it's quiet. Good brand. Price is medium/high. I've had it for a month so we'll see how it holds up.

This Whirlpool front loader is by far my favorite washing machine after years of trying out Maytag and Samsung. The controls are straight forward and very easy to navigate. The Load in Go option is a dream come true! I no longer worry about my teenagers using way too much detergent and over suds-ing. All in all, this machine is easy to use and gets the job done!!

Love the Load & Go feature time saver. Easy load selections. Clothes come out clean and fresh with minimal water consumption.
Buttons can be a little touchy if you happen to brush up against the pad lights turn on awaits instructions to start load.
