Customers express satisfaction with the 4.5 cu. ft. 8-Cycle High-Efficiency Front Load Washer's cleaning performance, quiet operation, and ease of use. Many appreciate its capacity and the effectiveness of the spin cycle, which reduces drying time. While some users find the controls somewhat sensitive, the overall positive feedback highlights the washer's value and features. The energy efficiency is also frequently praised.
This replaced a 20-year-old Westinghouse front loading washer. The Whirlpool is a huge improvement. The tub is huge, the controls are easy to understand (other than those that control the "beeps"), its almost dead quiet, and, most importantly, clothes come out clean and almost dry, which reduces the time in the dryer. Other reviews have said that the washer is noisy, but I suspect it depends a lot on what sort of floor it is installed on. Ours is on a concrete slab which doesn't transfer any vibrations. The only "complaint" I have is that the buttons are very sensitive and just brushing up against them will cause the settings to change. Fortunately, the start button has to be held down for a few seconds so you can't accidentally start the washer. Overall, I highly recommend this Whirlpool washer.

when I had to get a new washer...I didn't know if I wanted a front load. I went to different stores who sold washers and asked several questions. one thing I got out of my research...don't buy ones with too much stuff on them ... more things to go wrong. This washer was a good value and my clothes really get cleaned. Also, very easy to use. I will buy the dryer when my dryer goes out and then stack them.

Great appliances.. very efficient.. bought the gas dryer very large and quiet.. The washer however is much louder than my previous washer which is very sad I was thinking a new model would have been much more silent.. 4 star if not for the noise would have been 5 star..
