Whirlpool WTW6600S Top Load Washer

Pros: Very water efficient, cleans well, HUGE capacity, clean cycle avoids mold.
Cons: More expensive than a traditional top-loader.

When our 14 year-old Maytag washer developed one too many quirks (such as filling then not agitating), my husband and I had to look for a new washer. We knew that a lot of new technology had been introduced since we last shopped for washing ...

Pros: Clear lid to see water levels and agitation. "Pause" button so you can untwist items.
Cons: No way to adjust water levels; impeller action is rough on clothes; clothes wrinkle badly.

When my old top-loading Whirlpool washer rusted out and started leaking after 25 years of very satisfactory service, I naturally decided that buying another Whirlpool washer was the way to go. I ultimately decided on a Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6600S washer. ...

Pros: Does a great job of cleaning, easy to modify program if necessary!
Cons: Large, uses special HE detergent which may be expensive in some places!

Gone, dead, kaput! That's what happened to our 22 year old Whirlpool Washer/Dryer! Of course it did not pay to replace the washer, so my wife and I, (actually her,) decided to buy a whole new combo of both appliances. After all I am ONLY the husband in ...

Pros: HUGE capacity, cleaner clothes, shorter drier time, great dispensers, easy to operate
Cons: Skinny items can catch in washplate, higher energy consumption than front loaders, HE detergent only

No product I’ve ever purchased has come with more mixed reviews than my new Cabrio washer, and although the negative reviews were compelling, I went ahead and purchased it anyway and had it delivered and installed January 18, 2008. After my faithful ...

Pros: Huge volume, accommodates bulky items, fast spin=dryer clothes=less time in dryer, displays time remaining.
Cons: Twisting and potential wrinkling of clothes. Concern about long term reliability.

Why I bought it… I bought the Cabrio washer/dryer pair a month ago to replace a Speed Queen pair circa 1982 in which a dryer element had worn out and was not replaceable. I knew we wanted high capacity for both washing and drying because I used to do ...

Pros: While it worked, it was a great product.  Very efficient and economical to opperate.
Cons: It started dying after 18 to 20 months and eventually died after 30 months. 

Our Whirlpool Cabrio (WTW6600) worked great for about a year and a half then started getting louder and louder in the spin cycle when the tub got up to speed.  Eventually, at full rotational speed, it sounded like you were standing next to an ...

Pros: Large loads, saves water and energy
Cons: Goes out of balance, expensive

I purchased this washer with the matching dryer in June of 2007. I bought the set to replace my 6 year old Whirlpool set with the washer that died. The first day I got the washer I washed a queen sized comforter with a twin sized comforter. I was ...

Pros: Clothes very clean, quiet, fast, saves water, & customer service.
Cons: None

I have had my washer for a year and a half. I just bought the matching dryer at Christmas last year. I love this set. I can fit my King sized comforter with no problems and all my loads dry in 30 minutes with the combo of washer and dryer. You can use ...

Pros: large capacity, cleans well, efficient
Cons: money get through groove in bottom and make noise. clothes sometimes get tangled and twisted

In Dec 2007 we purchased this expensive washing machine for our newly remodeled home. I bought it because of the huge capacity and good water efficiency. My clothes do come out nice and clean. On occasion things can become greatly tangled and twisted up. ...

Pros: Exceptional cleaning, Large load capacity, Lots of wash options, Quiet, Saves money, Easy to use.
Cons: Purchase Price

I went ahead and bought this washer a month ago, before reading any reviews. When I got home from the store and before it was delivered I decided I better read the reviews here at Epinions on the Cabrio washer. After reading the reviews, I panicked and ...

Pros: Size, looks nice, easy to use
Cons: will not clean heavily soiled items, doesn't wash with enough water to clean the clothes

Bought the Cabrio because of size. Have 4 kids and seems like laundry is never done. I loved the size and the ease of operation. Looks really good. Did fine on most of our clothes, but when 12 yr old comes in muddy will not get all of the mud out on the ...

Pros: Energy efficient, top loader; high capacity
Cons: Poor quality. Can't soak items; machine automatically empties with no override.

Initially I was very excited about this machine, based on its load capacity and lack of central agitator, and the fact that it is an energy efficient top loader. I am not a fan of the front loading machines, so this seemed to fit the bill. We recently ...

Pros: Modern. Very Quiet. Highly Efficient.
Cons: The MSRP is a bit high, but you pay for the technology.

I had been thinking of upgrading our 10 year old Whirlpool to something more modern and efficient since we now had three kids we didn't have when we bought the original Whirlpool. I looked at several front loaders, but since our utility room was on ...

Pros: Cleans regular load of clothes good.
Cons: Clothes are twisted too much, mildew problem, will not clean bulky items

I loved my Cabrio Washer the first few months. But now have several complaints and problems. I have had 3 parts replaced on it, which is aggraviating. First complaint I have is that you must straighten out jeans or any item you do not want wrinkled ...

Pros: capacity, features, glass lid, energy efficient
Cons: none as of yet, except it doesn't automatically move clothing to the dryer

When our old washer died my wife and looked at the various energy efficient top loaders. However, they were all too big to get down the stairs to the basement laundry room. The salesman showed us the Cabrio and we both knew this was the ideal machine ...
