Product review (1 stars): Worst I've ever owned. Incredibly bad. Zero stars.
If I could give this a "0" stars, I would. It's hard to pick the most infuriating feature of this product, so here they all are:

I am all for eco-responsibility, but Whirlpool has taken this too far in order to get its "energy star" rating.  The Cabrio doesn't get your clothes clean, and therefore, doesn't perform its only function.

The temperature settings are all wrong:  "tap cold" --whatever that is--is cold.  "Cold" is cold. "Cool" is cold, "Warm" is cold. "Hot" is hot.  So either you boil your clothes or you wash everything in cold.

I find is really annoying to have a machine 'sense' how dirty my clothes are. The machine controls the water level, the temperature, and the 'oomph' of the wash and rinse cycles.  With this washer you have no real control--Whirlpool has made all the choices for you. You have no choice about the rinse temperature you want, and if you want to choose another option, such as "soak" or "rinse and spin," you can only do that with cold water. You can't choose to wash your 'delicates' in 'warm' water, only in--you guessed it--cold.

The cool, sleek new profile is curved on the top, instead of flat, which means that if your dryer is next to the washer, you can't fold clothes and place them on top of the washer:  they slide off.  What was Whirlpool thinking?  Don't buy this unless you have a separate folding table in your laundry room.

Whirlpool wants me to periodically 'clean' this thing with a product called "affresh" which is advertised prominently on the front of the washer.

Last but not least, you aren't allowed to just quickly throw one more thing into the load--a forgotten sock, for instance:  you pause the thing and wait for 45 seconds while it makes up its mind to unlock itself before you're permitted to open the lid. I don't have time for this.

Cabrio has an extra rinse feature, and a 'clean boost' feature--whatever that is--and also an 'eco-boost' feature--whatever that is. None of these is explained well in the literature that comes with the product, so I believe these features are antagonists: eco-boost probably means colder water with a shorter wash-and-rinse, and less oomph in the wash and spin cycles.

I plan to unload this thing at the earliest possible opportunity--as soon as I can afford a different machine.  Thank God I held onto my dryer instead of buying the companion to the washer.
