Product review (1 stars): Do not recommend - ruins clothes.
We bought Whirlpool Duet front load washer because we wanted something to save on water bill  and easy to load and unload as I am short.  After having a short time it flooded our basement,  something had gotten stuck and caused water to overflow from the detergent tray.  We have found that it  'eats' our clothes.  We have taken clothes out and on occasion and have had chunks out of clothes and pulls and tears.  Recently  It stopped working ,it was the pumped clogged up.  Found the missing  'chunks' of clothing.  We have also found that it doesn't really save much on water. I do not recommend this washer.  Our next one will be top load and NOT whirlpool.  We were wanting to save money but this washer has cost us.
