Product review (1 stars): I loved it until....
We purchased this washer in May of 2009 and I loved it until July 2011. That's when the first electronic component (the MCU) went bad. Thankfully my husband is very handy and we bought the replacement part ($150) and fixed it. I was happy again. Then we started having problems with it again (the dreaded F-28 error code). This means that there is a communication error which is apparently very common with this machine. So now we have to spend another $160 for the replacement part, and we were lucky to find it that cheap. The only good thing is that we have not had to pay a repairman! Do not waste your money on this machine. Also, don't get it confused with the Whirlpool Duet which is actually supposed to be good. This is the Duet Sport which is smaller and in my opinion not worth the money and the time we've spent fixing it!
