Product review (3 stars): Cabrio Washer OK with reservations
I purchased the (expensive) Cabrio Washing Machine several months ago. While it does have all the bells and whistles and certainly accomodates an ENORMOUS load there are some downsides.  It wrinkles the heck out of many items and some items, especially sheets & towels, get VERY twisted, which makes you wonder how well rinsed they are getting in that clump. I also washed a lightweight canvas beach bag and noticed when it came out that the inside never even got wet.  For the most part using less water if probably a plus, but I guess not for this item. Overall it seems to do a pretty good job getting the laundry clean.
While many people seem to find an unbalanced load to be a problem, I have not experienced that.
It also makes me a bit nervous to read about the many repairs and poor handling of customer compalints.  Take the extended warranty on this one for sure.
