Product review (1 stars): Don't fall for it
This washer has several major flaws, even when operating normally. First, this machine takes at least an hour and a half on the Normal setting to wash clothes. You hear the washer constantly adjusting the load and adding water, then spinning a bit before stopping and readjusting. It takes a ridiculously long time to wash one load. The wash cycle sounds like it's lurching its way to a slow death; you can tell that the clothes aren't being washed well. Second, the spin cycle sounds like there's a freight train running through my house. It's the LOUDEST washer I've ever had. When you open the washer after the cycle ends, your clothes are stretched horribly across the diameter of the washer. I pulled a pair of my husbands work pants out of the washer with gunk still all over them. My tiny 3-speed Roper washer did a fantastic job cleaning clothes without all the bells and whistles. I thought I was moving up to something phenomenal with Whirlpool's pricey Cabrio, but all I got was fancy junk.
