Product review (1 stars): Disappointing
I've had this washer for 6 months and while I haven't had to deal with breakdowns and service calls like the other reviewers, I would have to agree that this washer simply doesn't get clothes very clean or even rinse out all the soap. In order to get better results, you need to use the heavy duty cycle set to heavy soil or just re-do the load -- meaning you use more water and electricity and it takes twice as long! Not very HE.

Also, my washer has gone into "cycle confusion" several times.. skipping the spin cycle or starting the wash cycle over and over and over again until I intervene. The chimes are also annoying.. chimes when you turn it on, chimes when you set any of the options, and chimes when the cycle is done. That's great if you like all that, but I a Chime Off option would be nice.

I'm not sure if it's that front loader technology doesn't translate well as a top loader or if Whirlpool simply didn't put out a good product. I should have stuck with a dependable agitating model. Seeing as how users have had multiple repair problems, if this thing breaks down on me, I'm just going to replace it and it won't be with another Cabrio.
