Q: What is the CEE rating for this washer?
A: Hi Terry, Prior to purchasing this Whirlpool washer (WFW72HED - Duet 4.2 Cu. Ft. 8-Cycle High Efficiency Front-Loading Washer), I researched water-efficient washing machines. This washer is rated CEE Tier 2 (as of July 2015). CEE revised their list/ratings monthly; you can find them, here: http://library.cee1.org/content/qualifying-product-lists-residential-clothes-washers Hope that this helps you!
Q: Do you have to use pods or can you use liquid soap?
A: You can use either just needs to be HE detergent. I use liquid more than pods.
Q: How long does it take to wash a regular load and does it come with a fabric softener deposit?
A: Imelda, these washers can run longer than your previous washer, but as they use less water they can run for a longer amount of time and still use less energy. This washer has the Precision Dispense system. You can put in detergent, softener, and bleach in as necessary per load and do not have to wait to add the softener. It will be in the dispenser area, separate from the detergent.
Q: Stackable
A: Yes this unit is stackable. I have this set and it looks great and takes up less space once stacked.

A: E1/F9 means it's clogged and can't drain (needs a new drain pump) or the computer board is faulty.These machines suck if this happens because your machine locks and you can't retrieve your laundry so you ether buy a new one or pay for repairs that cost more then a new one. If you still have one just replace it,ours lasted 9 years with no lots of issues.
