Product review (3 stars): 7 years - then broke
I'm surprised by all the negative reviews for this product. I purchased the Whirlpool Duet Port washer and corresponding dryer back in early 2007 and its functioned perfectly. I have noticed that the pump has become slightly louder over time, but not to the point where its a problem. Its a mighty little washer with good cleaning results.

*******Update October 2015*********

Started banging when entered the spin cycle. Turns out that the tub bearings were shot and the repair was 3/4 the cost of a new one. Stayed with Whirlpool, but upgraded to the full sized Duet. Finger's crossed.
