Product review (1 stars): BIG MISTAKE! HATE IT!
We purchased the Cabrio washer and dryer in 2009 when we moved into our new home. We have had problems with both the washer & dryer but our main complaint is the washer. Sure, it was okay the first year. We are a family of 3 but I only use the Cabrio washer for myself and my son (hubby has his own washer in our garage). Anyway, about after a year, the noise during the spin cycle became louder and louder.  We cannot even hear the tv in our living because the spin cycle is so loud. I guess after having listened to the loud noise for several years we are used to it but our in-laws were down and heard it and said it sounded like a plane was taking off. That is exactly what it sounds like. Not only is it noisy but something in that washer is ruining my towels/clothes.  It has ruined over 20 bath towels and several pairs of pants. Something in the machine causes terrible snags. Another con is the fact that I don't feel like it cleans my clothes. I guess that is the HE part of it, but I hate it. I often remove several items out of each wash that is hardly even damp, causing me to have to rewash them because the garmet is still dirty. Lastly, we noticed our laundry room started stinking. We moved the washer out and found a big wet moldy spot underneath the washer where it has started leaking. The repair man said the small parts on this machine are not replaceable and we would have to purchase a new tub that would cost over $800.00. We paid big bucks for this several years ago and I so wish I hadn't. What looked and pretty on the sales floor turned out to be junk. The 15 year old $300.00 Kenmore washer out in the garage works better than this.  Before you buy, search for more reviews on the internet. There are TONS of them out there with the same complaints.
