Product review (2 stars): Poor Washer
I've had mine now for about 20 months. I have not experienced any of the faulty mechanical & electrical components others have described. I do however want to make mention of how poorly it washes. So those of us who are lucky enough to have not purchased a lemon still have it bad.

Washing sheets: This endeavor reveals why the center pole in old-school top load washers is so necessary. In the Cabrio bed sheets ball up into a doughnut shape that resembles a red blood cell. The centrifugal force creates this. Yes, I use the "sheets" setting. It is necessary for me to babysit the load and check during the wash to make sure this doesn't happen. If it does I have to pause the wash and fix the mess. Those lucky times this doesn't happen I'd say it does a fine job with washing sheets.

Washing pants: A load of perhaps 3 pair of pants and 3 t-shirts shows how this thing tries too hard to save water. As indicated by the fact that the pants come out half dry - with water having never been in contact with much of the fabric. Wow. There went the better part of an hour down the drain. Pun intended.

Shirts. My shirts come out horribly wrinkled, regardless of washer setting.

Someone in another review mentioned wanting to sledgehammer this washer. When they're done with their sledgehammer I'd like to borrow it.
