Product review (1 stars): LEMON - Avoid the Whirlpool Duet Sport!
I took delivery of this washer on 9/1/07, in late November it stopped working. The motor refused to spin the basket at high speed and the wash cycle wouldn't complete. Despite the fact that the machine was clearly not performing normally, it did not display an error code.

A&E Factory Service has made three service calls so far with no resolution. While the service tech is courteous and seemingly competent, the rest of the organization is staffed by clowns. We have received incorrect replacement parts, duplicate shipments and a total runaround from the Whirlpool Customer Experience team. Right now, my Whirlpool Experience has been pretty bad.

While Whirlpool has honored their warranty to the letter, they have completely ignored its spirit and left me without a working washer for 6 weeks. They refuse to replace this lemon until the tech declares it unrepairable, which he won't do until he can no longer install new parts. In theory, this could be until the end of the warranty period. Good times!

The eco-friendly benefits of this washer were a draw, but its utter lack of dependability makes a strong case for a traditional (low-tech) top-loader.

Read other reviews before making your decision. You might also want to look into the Whirlpool Calypso settlement. Whirlpool has a history of pushing shoddy products.
