Product review (2 stars): Doesn't last long
We bought a Whirlpool Cabrio from Lowe's five or six years ago.  Although I have been very pleased with its performance, it was on the expensive side & now is needing to be replaced already.  We had a repairman out a couple of years ago for it & he said the life expectancy on these is only about four years.  There is nothing I don't like about this machine - great features, Energy Star rated,does a great job of cleaning clothes without beating them up, the whole nine yards - but it is simply unacceptable that it lasts such a short tim.!  So if you want a great washer and don't mind replacing it in five years, this is your baby!
