Product review (1 stars): Worst washer I've ever used
Just learned that the Cabrio 5800 series we bought brand new less than 2 years ago needs a new transmission. It's a $400 repair and the repairman recommended we get a new washer because the machine we paid over $700 for isn't worth $400.
We're a family of 3 and my husband's work clothes go to the dry cleaners, so we don't have an unusual amount of laundry. I use Tide Fee & Gentle HE liquid detergent. There's nothing unusual about our water and we have a water softener. I cleaned the washer monthly as recommended. But apparently it needs a new transmission after just 20 months of use.
Even when it was "working" it wouldn't even get the smoke smell out of clothes if we'd been in a bar, instead it made all our other clothes in that load smell like smoke too. I have never had a washer that performed so poorly.
