Whirlpool - Cabrio 4.6 Cu. Ft. 11-Cycle Super Capacity Plus Washer - White

If you are looking for an energy efficient washing machine which cleans as well as a front loader then this is the washing machine! I first bought the latest LG steam washing machine from Home Depot and it shook my house apart as my laundry room is on the first floor. After trying to calm the LG thing down with shock absorber Kellett pads, plywood and reinforcement wood under the floor in the basement, I finally gave up! The LG cleaned well and was energy efficient but the last 8 minutes of the cycle at 1200RPM vibrated my house apart. After much research on the internet (just google vibration problems with LG machines) I finally called the Home Depot Assist. Mgr and begged him nicely to take it back. I was past the 30 day notice (since my original salesmen said it was not returnable...and LG customer service was of no help at all). In fact LG sent a service rep out to look at it...with no clothes, he tested it and said it was fine although it was vibrating the floor. That was the end of LG's help. The service rep did say he would have recommended the Whirlpool Cabrio next time! He said "Whirpool is also much easier to deal with than LG". So thank goodness for the nice Home Depot mgr. who took it back. Unfortunately the dept. sales guy told me that I had to deliver it to Home Depot. Terrific! My husband and I loaded it into our car and returned it with no difficulty. Since HD does not own their own delivery, I decided to go to Best Buy and purchase the Whirlpool Cabrio since they could pick it up if it shook my house! Best Buy delivered the Cabrio and all I can say is this 3 month ordeal is over! I love this machine. It's not the old inefficient agitator and it's not the front loader that shakes a floor apart! It spins at 1000RPM and no vibration!! It also cleans just as well, uses less water and I don't have to leave the door open and take the soap tray out to avoid mold! . Some people have complained about wrinkled clothes...but it wrinkles them no more than the front loader! Plus the dryer fixes that! I recommend this product with 5 stars!!!!

After much debate our family of 5 settled on this washer. Our previous washer died after 5 years. This washer can wash big loads, it cleans well, and conserves on electricity, detergent, and water. It cleans clothes the best I've had over the many years of other washers. The spin cycle, gets a lot of water out of clothes, so drying time is vastly reduced. The controls are complex and we got the setting wrong a few times for lighter loads using the heavy cycle and the clothes get twisted, but since learning the proper srttings the clothes are now clean and fine. The cleaning times are about 20% longer than my old washer, but is compensated with cleaning much larger loads, and cleaner clothes and towels. It also cleans very large blankets and comforters. The installers recommended that I get a transient/electrical protector on the washer as the contol panel has sophisticated sensors and computer chips. I'm glad I listened, I treated it like my TV set, placing a 2100 joules protector in-line. It seems the circuit protection helped us avoid and repairs due to overvoltages as the protector has faulted twice now prior to a mojor outage with no damage to the washer. I'd have to say this machine is worth the money and extra circuit protection, after several months of use, it has saved us several hundred dollars.

I bought this washer after much debate over getting a front loader. I didn't want to have the pay the extra cost to get the pedestols for the front loader and heard they require a lot more attention to avoid getting a mildew smell. So I felt this was a great compromise. It is huge on the inside, huge! It has a lot of settings to chose from and I really do like it a lot. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because there are a few things I can't figure out and it might not even be anything wrong with the washer, I just can't figure it out. First, I wish it did fill with more water. But it supposedly has a sensor for how much water it needs. It is supposed to be a feautre of not using so much water, but it's been hard for me to get used to. There aren't much suds in the washer, that also is a characteristic though of the HE detergent and washers. It's just not something I've been able to get used to. And third my clothes come out very dry. Like you can tell they were wet, but either they aren't getting enough water in the wash cycle or the spin cycle is just that affective that is makes them that much less wet coming out. These are not reasons however to not buy this washer. I have just been used to the good old fashion ones that take twice as much water and get your clothes extremely sudsy. I would recommend this washer and I love the dryer too. I bought the extended warranty for best buy offered the best price out of any other seller. I also got two years no int. on a best buy card and got 10% off the dryer. I am extremely pleased with my purchase, the price, and my payment options and would recommend Best Buy and this washer to anyone.

I bought this washer because I purchased the gas Cabrio dryer at 1/2 price from Lowes a couple of months ago. It did such a great job, I just had to have the matching washer. Washer works great, seems to clean clothes well and heavier items, too. The capacity is huge....it held a queen size comforter well. I assume the wash cycles are longer than a traditional washer because less water is used...the "quick wash" setting is the shortest at 38 minutes. That was the longest time on my old Maytag washer. I mentioned quiet: a mere hum is all it makes during the spin cycle! I've had the Cabrio for three weeks and so far, it seems that I made a great decision with this purchase.

We purchased this washer 12/06. I love the capacity and it does a great job cleaning our clothes. We are a family of 6 and do tons of laundry. I love that I can do a small load of delicates or a huge load of towels and they all look and smell cleaner than the old washer we had. Then the trouble started. In the first year we had the machine it had the dreaded code F51 twice. This required a service tech come out and replace parts to fix it. Then starting in 1/08 we had the same F51 code three times all requireing a service call and the same exact parts being replaced, mind you by the last service call these parts had been replaced 5 times. Then about a day after the last service call we got an F50 error. According to Whirlpool this is the same problem as with the F51 error code. Thank goodness we have an extended warranty on this item!! The store we originally purchased the machine from has given us a store credit to purchase a new machine.

I bought this Cabrio Washer (last year's model) on clearance. It is totally awesome. My model has a solid lid, the new ones have a clear lid and I see why. Sometimes, I just have to go to it and push pause and left the lid to see what's going on becasue it's so quiet I love this machine. It loves large loads of laundry (small loaded sometimes get tangled but not too bad). I can wash like 8 or 9 pairs of jeans at once. It wrings the clothes so good that drying time is decreased big time. I wouldn't trade this for any other washer.

I do love this machine, I've had it for 2 years now without any issues. I only use the HE liquid detergent and never had any problems with it being stuck on my clothes. Although it does hold a pretty good size load of laundry, you can overfill it and it will not clean them as well. I have learned to wash items (like jeans) that need to soak up more water, on the "Bulky items" cycle and it seems to get them clean a lot better. I like the delay cycle so that I can set my clothes to start washing at a later time; it also has a cleaning cycle that it recommends to use once a month with bleach to refresh the tub so it doesn't get that sour smell, so far mine has been odor-free; and it also lets me know if I can still "add a garment" to the wash cycle.

I purchased this washer, along with the matching dryer, a little over a year ago and I absolutely HATE them. The washer never really gets the clothes fully clean and sometimes there are dry spots on the clothes even after washing them. Because of the agitation feature the clothes come out of the washer tangled in an almost unmanageable mess. In addition, I had only owned the washer for a few months when I received an error message. A part had gone bad on the washer. It had to be ordered and installed which meant I was without a washer for a couple of weeks. Another thing I have noticed is that all of towels are being almost torn apart. Every towel I own has strings all over them where the washer is pulling on them. I thought I was treating myself to a luxury washer and dryer when I bought this set. If someone would offer me my old washer and dryer I would take them back in a heartbeat. The dryer has issue as well but they are not as bed. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT buy this washer and dryer set.
