Product review (1 stars): Absolute Worst Wasing Machine I have ever Owned
If I could give the Cabrio platinum washer a zero rating, I would. I HATE this washer. We bought in in October 2012 ( over 2 years ago) and wished I had read reviews like I normally do when making a purchase. I used to wash each load 2-3 times just to get them clean but now use a garden hose to fill the washer with water. Seriously, how do you wash a las of clothes with about a gallon of water?
Pros: looks great in the laundry room
Cons: it does not get my clothes clean period. I have done everything the manual says and even reduced the amount of clothes I put in there and bought the HE detergent but clothes still come out dirty and dry in spots. It just does not provide enough water so I have resorted to filling the washer with water from a garden hose and that seems to help the issue of getting clothes cleaner but I am still not thrilled.
I have not had the issues some reviewers have had with it breaking down, it works ok but just doesn't do the job. But now that I have put that in writing, I expect it to go kaput.  And then I will buy something that is more traditional.
Do yourself a favor and look for a different brand, make sure it provides enough water to get your clothes clean.
