I purchased the Whirlpool Cabrio about six weeks ago. At first I thought it was okay. I had a hard time deciding on the short agitator or the regular size one. Big mistake. It does not get my white clothes like face cloths clean, even with bleach and Oxi Clean. I don't know if it is the HE quality laundry detergent but I have been very disappointed in this machine. I had my GE about 15-16 years when it died and loved it. I thought the energy saver might be the way to go but at times there is not enough water in the machine to wet the clothes. I put some clothes on the delicate cycle (and it was just a few pieces) and when I took them out, the back of one of the sweaters still had dry spots on it which meant there was not enough water in the machine to saturate the items.

Whirlpool is my choice

My family & i we bought this one along with E. dryer WED5500 to replace our 10 yr old Amana washer&dryer. So far, after a month, it is working fine. Both this washer & dryer are pretty quiet compare to my old ones. One thing i've noticed is that at the beginning of each wash cycle, the machine takes a while to think. It cleans well using little detergent. I love its large capacity w/o agitator.
Remember to use "he" detergents if you decide to purchase this one.

Very different from old washers

I've had an old washer with one of those large agitators in the middle for over 10 years now but it broke so I got this one.
First off, you have to use HE detergent or it messes and possibly breaks the washer....
Second, when its "sensing" how much clothes you put in the washer to add just the right amount of water, it takes a long long time...and its never enough water, not for me at least. I try to pause the washer and add a bucket of water and un-pause the washer to start washing but unfortunately it knew I added water so it drains all the water and re-adds new water.
Third, the buttons are very hard to push on
I'm returning this and getting an old school washer
I recommend getting a better more high quality washer or getting the old school ones which are cheaper

Quiet & Efficient

This HE washer is quiet, smart and large. I filled it up with all my darks, it gave the correct amount of water inside, washed them, spun them and made a cool little noise when it was done.
I like the simple to use knob and button on top, I like seeing how far in the process the wash is etc.
When it washes the clothes there is a hum then it goes quiet then hums a again, this repeats through the main wash cycle and you forget that it's even on.
I had some white work shirts with stains in them and it washed the stains right out on the first try.

Water saving

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This washing machine is replacing a 12 year old Maytag which was still working OK but the dryer was on its last legs so we decided to replace both. I'm not sold on the water saving features or having to use high efficiency detgergent or not being able to raise the lid after the machine starts. It remains to be seen if the clothes come out as clean or cleaner than with the Maytag. No ajutator in the middle of the machine seems strange. But, my wife seems to like it, so that's the most important thing.

breaks right after warranty expires

There is an F-51 error code that makes the washer start beeping half way though the cycle. It takes an entire day sometimes to do one load of laundry because you have to keep restarting the cycle. It is very aggravating! Plus, even before this error code started happening it never really got my clothes clean. We have two cats and our clothes will come out with as much fur on them as they had when they went in. I picked this washer because I wanted one big enough to fit my king comforter. Well it fits, but it doesn't get clean. The whole thing doesn't even get wet. I hate this machine!

washes good and quickly, but very noisey at the beginning of the cycle.
A:AnswerDear Bev:
As there are many different materials manufactured, the texture, size, weight, etc. of the material will cause the number of articles able to be washed to differ per household. We can inform you; however, that a more accurate determination of load size, is the amount of space taken up by a wash load. This is why most washer capacities are currently rated in terms of cubic feet, not the weight of the load or the number of items per load.
With a top-loading washer, you should wait to start the water fill until the washer is loaded, and loosely place dry items into the washer until they reach the top level of the holes in the wash basket.
Loading items while the washer fills causes fabrics to become compacted within the water, which can make it difficult to gauge the actual load size can lead to over-loading. Over-loading restricts the movement of clothing within the washer and can result in poor cleaning performance. Over time, over-loading can also lead to washer malfunction or component deterioration.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding Whirlpool washer model WTW5500XW.
Height with Lid Open 53 5/8
Thank you again for your inquiry. We appreciate and value your business!
A:AnswerDear Customer:
We are no able to advise how long each cycle may run. Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level for the load. The washer also uses sensors to figure the load size, soil level, water quality, etc.
Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
A:AnswerThis washer does come with a power cord. However, it won't matter. In the 4 years I owned my Cabrio washing machine, it was repaired 6 times. It might be plugged into the wall but it still wont' work. I recommend you google Cabrio washing machines and look at all of the complaints.
A:AnswerDear Customer:
This washer, model WTW5500XW, will require a 120 volt, 60Hz, AC only, 15- or 20- amp fused electrical supply. For more information on installation please see the Installation Instructions packaged with the washer or available to download from Whirlpool.com.
Thank you for your interest in a Whirlpool washer!
