Product review (1 stars): STAY AWAY FROM WHIRLPOOL
Exactly 4 years ago we paid top dollar for our Whirlpool Cabrio. Now we are pretty sure its time to throw it out. It does a poor job of cleaning clothes, makes a horribly, loud noise (bad bearing) when washing, tears up our clothes (tiny holes in our clothes) and is way to repairman needy. After 4 years it is going to cost as much to repair it as it cost new. From a purely cost-benefit analysis, it is time to replace it with anything besides Whirlpool. Read the ratings and reviews before you buy. Make sure to pay particular attention to the people who have own the machines for more than a year.
