Product review (1 stars): Whirlpool Cabrio junk...Horrible customer service!!!
As many of the other reviews have stated before me...DO NOT BUY THIS, OR ANY OTHER WHIRLPOOL PRODUCT!  The Cabrio with the attractive glass lid WILL crack at the hinge area over time.  We bought this machine a little less than two years ago, and the plastic frame on the lid cracked from ordinary usage.  The problem is that the hinge is spring loaded so that it provides a great deal of tension to raise and lower the lid softly.  Over time, this tension WILL wear out the flimsy plastic frame.  A replacement lid will set you back about $200.00!  Whirlpool customer service will tell you that they know about this issue but, in the grand scheme of things, they consider it an isolated incident...considering that they duped thousands of consumers into purchasing this product.

Bottom line, today's Whirlpool is not what our parents used to have... DO NOT BUY!!!
