Product review (1 stars): WORST PURCHASE EVER!!!
Can I give it NO STARS?  Or Negative stars?  What a piece of JUNK.  Only buy this if you feel like burning up a thousand dollars on NOTHING.  Weeks after I invested in the most expensive washer I ever bought- the front ring started leaking.  The rubber seal was damaged, and the repairman was called.  The cost to replace the rubber ring was almost 200 dollars!!!  it was still under warranty, but the repairman ominously told me these things are NOTORIOUS for problems with the seal.  Two months later the electronics stopped working- the washer was toast.  Repairman came again and replaced the whole electronics board.  NOW here we are 1 month outside of warranty, and the Rubber ring goes again- eating an entire load of laundry by coating it in grey plastic smush.- including my nice work clothes.  Cost to us was a hundred and a half for the stupid rubber ring, and HUNDREDS of dollars lost in clothes.  JUNK JUNK JUNK.  Whirlpool should be embarrassed to have produced this pile of garbage on the market. Next time it breaks we are going to give it to the scrap man and buy a top load again-- BUT NEVER EVER ANOTHER WHIRLPOOL OF ANY KIND for appliances.  And I tell everyone the same thing- it's junk, don't buy it.
