Product review (2 stars): Twists and Shreds
I purchased a Cabrio set in November of last year.  The washing machine is atrocious.  I follow all of the rules of engagement.  On the Whirlpool website the claim is that a Cabrio will wash three loads worth of laundry.  Bull squeeze.  I had a traditional large capacity washer previous to the Cabrio.  I could wash that much laundry without damage to my clothes.  The Cabrio, on the other hand, damages clothing, towels, sheets, etc...  The clothes are twisted to the point of no return.  Ironing is not always effective on jeans.  The clothes are horribly wrinkled.  I even reduced the amount of clothes by half... still terribly wrinkled.  I take them out of the washer and place them in the dryer immediately.  I take them out of the dryer and fold or hand them immediately.  It doesn't matter.  I have to iron EVERYTHING now (even sheets).  The machine also "braids" the clothes or kneads them into a neat little ball.  I bought brand new towels for our redecorated bathroom.  The machine shredded the hems of the towels on the third wash.  I should have listened to my husband and purchased another traditional machine.  The wash cycles on these machines are much longer than the cycles on my previous machine.  So, my electricity bill is higher.  It claims to save water.  Well, by having to reduce the loads by half to keep the machine from absolutely destroying every article of clothing or linen in the house.  The water use is just as high as before.  Furthermore, I had my previous set for TEN years with only one repair to the dryer at eight years of ownership (a bearing was replaced).  The Cabrio dryer has already been repaired once and is awaiting a second due to a missing part (not installed at the factory).

My advice:  either buy another traditional set or buy a frontloading machine.

With this machine, I might as well wash my clothes in the tub.
