Product review (5 stars): Spinning again like it was new.
Skeptically purchased these after the repairman told me the Cabrio had a bent crank and could not be fixed. After seeing over 300 positive reviews I said what the heck, better than shelling out tons of dough for a new one so rolled the dice. 3 loads in and working like it was new again, and this machine is about 9 years old and gets a lot use as we live on a lake where lots of towels are used. No more banging around or whacky spins to an UL. If you are moderately handy, this is a DIY job in about 45 minutes. If I were to do it again, it would probably take about 15 minutes as now I know what to do.  There are many youtube videos to review that are really handy, so go for it.
