Product review (2 stars): Don't Bother
I purchased this washer and dryer combo a few years ago and loved it at first.  It still does a very good job of cleaning clothes and I love that I can get a queen size comforter in it.  I'm only 5" 1" and I do have to stand on my tip toes to reach the bottom of the washer to retrieve washed items.  This machine loads differently from a traditional washer so you have to follow the loading instructions for it to work well.  I don't usually buy extended warranties but I did on this item because of all the electronics.  Right before the warranty expired, the machine started making a LOT of noise during the spin cycles.  I kid you not, it sounds as if a supersonic jet is taking off.  Prior to this, the machine was so quiet I had to have the alarm on to tell when the load was complete.  Since the machine was actually not leaking and would do what it was supposed to do, the company would not honor the warranty!  Whirlpool told me that it definately should not be so loud.  I have a friend whose Cabrio washer did the same thing after about a year.  My repairman told me that he wasn't sure what the problem was but that he couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't continue even after he took it apart to fix it.  The technology is so new that repairmen aren't as familiar with it as they are with older technology.  So, I live with the noise.  I wouldn't buy this washer again.
