Product review (1 stars): ANOTHER "GEM" FROM " WHIRLPOOP"  :/
The people who design these pieces of junk should be taken out to a firing squad and forced to sit naked on traffic pylons 8 inches deep while everyone laughs, and then be forced to go back to the design studio and do it right.  I have never seen such embarrassing engineering. It is no wonder people don't want to buy American.  This is one of the worst laundry machines I've ever experienced.

Problem 1.  If you put a comforter in here like you are supposed to be able to wash, and use the heavy duty cycle, sometimes the machine won't spin. It will just tumble the comforter continuously because the machine cannot handle the weight of the items. Gee, then why do they say you can wash, rinse and spin comforters in this thing. Hence, the soapy water is not extracted, and neither is enough of the liquid fabric softener. And the dryer will take forever to dry the item

Problem 2.  When the machine spins, the tub wobbles and always hits the side of the cabin. This is supposed to be normal according to Whirlpool. Really "Whirlpoop"? It doesn't matter whether the load is perfectly balanced or not - the tub wobbles and doesn't spin precisely during the wash and rinse cycles and almost always wobbles on the spin cycles. This causes the machine to eventually sound like a jackhammer during the spin cycle. It goes off balance way to easily.

Problem 3.  And what is the need for the pump to be on draining water out of the machine when the water has long since been drained out of the tub?  Is this to make the utility companies happy? Energy savings my laundry tub... please.

Problem 4. It doesn't use enough water. I don't want detergent left on my clothes when the machine is done. Even with the extra rinse option, the rinsing is not adequate. I have noticed this problem with H.E. dishwashers too. We want our items thoroughly rinsed. Some of us have allergies to those chemicals, and some of us just don't want those residues left on our clothes or dishes. I have noticed that it rinses better if the pre-soak option is used, but a person shouldn't have to do this.

Problem 5. It doesn't do a good job of cleaning clothes. It just basically soaks them because the washing action is so gentle. If you work on a farm or oil rig, or do heavy warehouse work, etc., forget it - you don't want a front-loader, at least not an American one perhaps, and definitely not this one.. You'd be better off with a top loading Speed Queen washer. Stain removal? LOL!  Please -- not with this machine. It can't even remove lint half the time.

Problem 6. Too much plastic.  The doors and parts of the hinges shouldn't be made out of plastic. One can only wonder what the inside is made of .

Problem 7. The cycles take too long. Why should it take over an hour to wash clothes or whatever you want to wash? This is ridiculous. The older machines would be done with everything in 35 minutes or so, so would the dishwasher.

There is nothing I like about this machine. It is under-engineered, expensive,  cheaply made, under powered, bulky, ugly and ridiculous.  I'm only using it because it is part of a rental agreement situation that I fell into.. There is reason why so many of us are not pleased with HE machines. It's because HE usually means subpar performance, durability, etc.

I have not recommended Whirlpool or the machines they make for other labels (Roper, Nutid, Renlig, some Kenmores, Estate)  for 10 years now and this machine just re-affirms why I have taken that stand.  My friend recently bought a laundry pair and he was going to buy Whirlpool. I was the one that dissuaded him from that decision.
