Product review (1 stars): Whirlpool Cabrio Washer are Terrible
We purchase our Whirlpool Cabrio washer and dryer November 2011.  The washer is a top loader.  When they were delivered to our home the delivery man told us these washing machines always go out in three years time.  I was hoping it would at least last five years or more, but it did not.  December 2014 it started making a loud squeaking noise while washing and when the spin cycle came on it made an atrocious loud noise.  The warranty had run out so we called a reputable appliance repair company that we have used before and he set the machine to run to listen to it.  It turned out that it was the bearings and would need a new tub, which was going to cost us $658.00.  I told him that in the long run we'd be better off and it would be cheaper to just buy a new washer/dryer set and he agreed.  He, also, said the washing machines with the agitators are better and last much longer.  Before we purchased this Cabrio washer/dryer set, we had a Whirlpool washer/dryer set that lasted over ten years and I think we will be going back to these models where the washer has an agitator.
