After doing tons of research on washers I decided that this one was the one! I have had this washer for about a week now and so far I love it! My clothes are coming out cleaner! I have done lots of research on he laundry equipment and what detergents to use and how to use them. I am very worried bout mold because I have a sensitivity to it and mold makes me quite ill. From what I understand only about a table spoon of laundry wash goes into each load, and it’s very important to make sure that the washer, the door and the gasket are totally dry after completing laundry for the day. The load and go dispensing system makes over using of the detergent/soap almost impossible. This way I also know when other people use my machine they are not tempted to use too much soap/detergent...I love the swash laundry soap that whirlpool makes. It’s 8x concentrated and smells really fresh. At first I was a bit worried about this machine because of the bad reviews, but now I have it and have been using it I know I picked a good one! I plan to take very good care of it so that it stays fresh and clean for a really long time. I love how quiet this machine is! There is a little vibrating when spinning, I am going to purchase the rubber anti vibration feet and that should solve that issue. I also got the matching dryer and they work great together! I plan on stacking them and building a folding table with hinges so it can be easily stowed. I am not sure what the bad reviews are all about, because my machine is better than expected! Laundry is fun again! I love that they are made in the USA too!! I feel like I got a good set of appliances!

Our family had been dealing with a washer dryer set we bought used around 5 years ago and it was definitely time for an upgrade. Nothing like taking a full 8 hour work day to accomplish one load of laundry because you had to reset the system and then bail out water at the end. That being said our new washer dryer set has been a revelation. It holds a larger load capacity than what I originally had thought and the noise is almost nil. No longer are we alerted that the cycle has finished with the well known obnoxious wail that accompanies most other systems. Instead, it’s similar to wind chimes in light breeze. The only thing that confused us was holding the start button for three seconds, but talk about a mundane thing to complain about. We’re more than pleased with out purchase.

This machine does a great job on our clothes but is noisier than our old Kenmore Elite that was 10 years old. This Whirlpool thumps pretty loud when beginning the spin cycle because of the counterweights, but it settles down in a few seconds. Another reason it’s noisy is the door window is plastic so it’s noisier than a glass one when the laundry goes slappity-slappity... The Load and Go detergent dispenser is so easy and convenient to use. This machine just uses a tiny bit of water and soap to wash laundry. It is energy star rated so utility company gave a $50 rebate. Whirlpool appliances are rated number 1 for reliability based on number of units sold vs number of service calls compared to all appliance brands. I still bought a 5 year Geek Squad service plan for piece of mind.
