Product review (1 stars): The Worst Washing Machine ever Manufactured...by anyone...
This washer is defectively engineered. Whirlpool wanted to create a top loading, water sparing machine, so their idea was to come up with a tiny agitator on the bottom of the tank and allow it to "wobble" to force the water through the clothing. The water used for washing does not cover the clothing, and the agitator kind of tries to move the water through the clothing.

That does NOT happen. The clothes do NOT come out clean. I suppose it is possible to wash similar size, small items like underwear in it. But you can't mix clothing or bedding types in the same load.

Compare this pathetic machine with a modern front load washer that uses gravity to tumble the clothes against each other in two directions, as well as allowing them to soak momentarily on the bottom of the tub with each change of direction. You can't help but wash the clothes.

Cabrio runs the clothing through a very thorough rinse cycle, trying to make up for the deficiencies of washing. The clothes get all tangled and knotted up. It also unbalances easily as a washed sheet will eventually gather up smaller items into a ball and the agitator will just smash against that ball of sheet and underwear.

I submitted my review to Whirlpool and I suggested they redesign the washer and tilt the clothing tub to a 35% angle, which would start to use gravity...but that would expand the footprint of the machine. They said no-way and took my review off line.

I sent mine back after 4 days and paid the restocking fee. It is the worst washer made. You'd be better off using your great-grandmother's washer with an attached hand wringer. (Watch your fingers). There have also been technical, electrical and mechanical problems with it, even after a short term of ownership.

I got a Maytag front loader instead, and it works great.

I think the Cabrio is best used as land-fill.
