Product review (1 stars): I HATE Whirlpool Duet's SO MUCH!  Need to vent.
god, I hate this thing!  Although this is supposed to be a washer review, let me just say I hate the dryer (or, as I call it, "the wrinkle machine") as much if not more!

This is not an indictment of front loading machines.  I purchased early models of Maytag front loaders, and for years, and was thrilled with them.  If I could afford it, these Whirlpool Duet bad boys would be out on the curb in a heart beat.  They are beyond worthless and destructive to my very expensive clothing and linens.

I realize this is anecdotal evidence...just my experience.  First, thing I noticed was that family laundry that used to take me about half a day, now took all day.  WEIRD.  Maybe these were more efficient  and ecologically friendly.  BUTTTTT, My colors were fading out.  My towels didn't feel good.  For the first time in my life, my heels were dried out and cracking. Ok, so it took me a while to figure out that, at least, all the soap wasn't rinsing out.

I wound up doing an experiment today....didn't start out that way.  Had a huge load of towels to do.  (and, NO I didn't overload the drum)  Used All Free HE.  ( AND, before you jump on ALL as an issue...have had same issues with Tide, All N Hammer, etc.) There are 4 lines on the little detergent cup.  Three lines really close together and then a 4th about a quarter of an inch up.  If you believe the ALL people, I should use line 4 for a maximum load.  I'm a cynical individual, so didn't use that line;  didn't even use line 3; went between line 2 and 3.  Gotta have "some" soap...yes?

Happened to walk into laundry room during rinse/spin.  Suds were rinsing out.  Let cycle finish.  Flipped over to Rinse/Spin cycle.  30 minutes, wow, to rinse and spin.  Fewer suds, but water still not running clear.  Did it again.  Fewer, but still some suds.  OK...so that's one wash, then two additional rinse cycles.  After I finish writing this, am going to go do another.

I don't even own the exact same model as this review, but I googled "I hate Whirlpool Duets"  Found this discussion and Found this:[...]

If you go down to the last post, it's just hysterical.  Guy who has a Used Appliance business.  Needs to fix things and then resell them, started getting a flood of Duets.  Couldn't find anything wrong with them.  People just dumping them.  I think says it all!
