Product review (1 stars): THE WORST WASHER EVER.
Honestly, in this day and age, there is no reason that any company should be making top-load washers.

This Cabrio is the worst piece of crud ever made.

Who cares if there is no agitator in the middle - try washing a load of sheets/blankets and see the whole thing turn into a BALL in the middle all bundled up - you call that washing?

My older folks went to Sears and were CONNED into buying this set as it was on a "discount" - no wonder.

Even in Japan, where space is a premium, their drums are at an angle, diagonal, and has percussion washing where the drum bounces to help jostle the items around so that they don't get tangled and completely wrinkled and treats the clothes gently and comes out with no wrinkles.

When your wash is done with Cabrio, you HAVE to put it in the dryer for at least 5 or 6 minutes to just to get the wrinkles out before you could even hang dry them.
I've always hung-dry my nice clothes after the wash, but with this you can't go straight to hang dry as the machine totally obliterates your clothes in a ball of twisted, wrinkled mess. Even my jeans, when I tried washing around 10 of them, the jeans which are the tough clothes of the lot, are so wrinkled that I have to use the dryer to at least work some of the wrinkles out - so you end up using MORE ENERGY because you have to fire up the dryer!!!!

Whirlpool/Maytag is using old technology disguised to look like new because they don't want to spend the money and invest and develop new technology and replace their factories with new tech.
