Whirlpool - Cabrio Platinum 4.8 Cu. Ft. 13-Cycle High-Efficiency Top-Loading Washer

Read all the other reviews and was a bit skeptic on this not getting clothes clean or tangling them up. Have to say we haven't had any such issues. The first load we did I watched pretty much the whole cycle thru the lid as I was confused on what it was doing for the first 20 minutes or so. Coming from an old school washing machine I was waiting for the tub to fill up, which it did not do initially. Just threw in a little water from time to time, then spun a bit. Didn't see how this plus no agitator would get clothes clean. But later in the cycle the tub actually filled up enough to pretty much cover the clothes, then it actually started "agitating" behaving like a regular washing machine. Clothes came out clean. And much more water was spun out of them than usual, meaning less drying time- although this washer seems to take a bit longer than my old one so the shorter drying time is kind of a wash (haha I made a funny). And as far as tangling of clothes, still haven't seen that after almost 2 months. Being a man with no patience, I have always just taken the basket and dumped it into the washing machine. I still do with this one (they tell you to make sure you can see the center of the agitator, but I rarely do that) and don't see any tangling, and everything gets wet and clean. Also like the ability to set the "done" chime volume. Machine is located in the other end of the house in a basement and I can still hear it. And if I'm starting a load late at night, I can just turn it off so nobody is woken up. Capacity is great too.

I really want to love this washer but I don't and I will probably return it this week and get a front loader. My previous washer was a top load HE so I'm familiar with how they work. My biggest complaint is that the washer leaves dirt patches on my clothes because it doesn't get them wet enough. My next complaint is that there are no controls for load size so I'm not exactly sure how the amount of water used is determined. All this being said I love the matching dryer and really wish the washer worked equally as well.

What a difference this washer is compared to my old washer! I typically buy the commercial grade washers as I have found them to be more durable and lasts longer as well as a bigger load capacity. After using this washer a few time I have noticed it cleans my 4 year old daughters clothes much better, our clothes smell even cleaner, I love the steam and sanitize features on this washer. *I am used to having the agitator and had doubts without one that a washer could wash as well, it has proven me very wrong. Great purchase and a very happy consumer. * Oh AND does not get off balance and vibrate my entire house :)

I was so excited to finally get a new washer so I could get one big enough to wash the comforters too. This washer is everything I wanted and more! Okay I realize you probably have to be a mom to understand this but the joy of being able to wash huge comforters and hand wash items all in the same machine is so wonderful! We have the glass top washer and it just adds a touch of class, which we like. Plus it was on sale but still would have bought it. It also fits so much in there it amazes me still! Now I don't have to wash everyday...yay!

This is our first high efficiency washer and we love it!! After washing our first load of whites we knew this machine was the bomb!! It got even my dirty gardening socks so clean I couldn't tell them apart from my everyday socks. It takes a little longer to wash but the results are worth it. We could also wash our king size comforter with it saving us a trip to the dying out dry cleaners (sorry dry cleaner owners).

So we are usually bargain shoppers, but got tired of going cheap and small, and having it die out before 5 years is up. They were running a great special on the washer (with a Visa credit card for additional money) so it was too good to pass up. First off, the capacity is huge. We have a lot of clothes to wash, and it's great to have so much space with no agitator getting in the way of the load. Secondly, it has a lot of features, but they are all easy to comprehend and are self-explanatory. We've used most of them within the first weeks of having it. It can make some noise, but not enough to bother, and if you have doors on your laundry room, you won't notice. The place where you put the detergent hasn't been needed to be cleaned yet, so can't comment on that, but it's stayed relatively clean, and we get a lot of use out of it. I got lucky and got a great sale and a promotion for a Visa card back, but even without those things, I'd still recommend it as it's been very reliable and done a great job with our countless loads of laundry.

I'm a new homeowner so I needed a washer/dryer and I went toward Maytag/Whirlpool and WOW, I was amazed at all the features these devices have these days! I bought this with the dryer and am really impressed with it so far. This washer is very quiet! I had to adjust the load once for a large amount of clothes, but that was it. I use my washer/dryer once a week because I'm a single adult, so frequent or once-a-week use is great for these products. Everything else about the washer is GREAT! If you want to spend a little more money to save a lot later on, I recommend this washer/dryer set.

I absolutely love this washer. It is the largest washer sold…4.8 capacity and there is no agitator so there is lots of room inside. I can fit anything in it, like blankets & comforters. The top of it is see through, so you can watch the clothes being washed. The washer tosses your clothes, which in my opinion, cleans them way better then a washer with an agitator in it. I also believe it takes less detergent then I use to use with my old washer. It uses HE detergent.
