Whirlpool Duet GHW9400P Front Load Washer

Pros: Environmentally friendly, many setting for great cleaning results, good looking machine
Cons: None really. See review for one minor issue.

Although there are many other reviews of this product, I felt compelled to write my own since most of the others are negative and I have an absolutely glowing opinion of both this washer and its matching dryer. I purchased the Duet HT washing ...

Pros: The large capacity, excellent washing, and ease of use.
Cons: Without pedestal, door is low. Filter gets clogged with lint.

On Wednesday (two days ago), my new Whirlpool Duet washer was delivered. The washer is replacing my ill-fated Kenmore Calypso Elite (search this washer on the Internet to see how dissatisfied customers have been with it). Before purchasing the ...

Pros: This washer is a WORKHORSE! Can't say enough great things.
Cons: Not as much manual control over settings as I would like.

I absolutely LOVE this washer and the companion dryer. We have been using it now for about 4 months. I was a bit nervous about the purchase after reading mixed reviews, but I'm so glad I bought it. It has SERIOUSLY changed my life. No joke. I spend so ...

Pros: Super quiet! Very efficient! Great capacity - I can wash a king sized comforter!
Cons: Bad relay for door lock control on master control board Error code "F11" or "Fdl".

OK... to begin with I am a degreed engineer and as a part-time job I carry out warranty repair work for Electrolux products (I.E. Whirlpool) thru and authorised service company in my city. The good news! I really like my machine. It is wonder of ...

Pros: Outstanding performance, silence, adjustability, multiple options, 1200 rpm spin, energy savings, ease of use.
Cons: Non-reversible door, HE detergent, mesh bag/tiny items, powder-only prewash/presoak, open door when not using.

After agonizing over a whirlpool washer that died after only 7 years, I bought this one based on a consumer magazine rating. No regrets, so long as it lasts longer than its predecessor. This machine is amazing. It operates nearly silently. The cycles ...

Pros: The ONLY thing better than my old washer is the delay wash timer.
Cons: Electric problems, poor service, not worth the price.

I was sold on this product for several reasons. Here are a few: 1) I had used and abused my old Super Capacity Whirlpool washer for seven years without a single problem or repair (giving me confidence in the brand); 2) Consumer Reports had given it a ...

Pros: fast work of a boring task,holds over sized items saves time water & electricity
Cons: price is little high & having to buy HE soap

After looking at machines like this for months in our local ads & without doing much homework we ventured out & looked at a few different models of the whirpool brand & a few others such as maytag. After much dickering and major discussion with dear ...

Pros: Large Capacity, Sanitary Mode
Cons: Expensive, Quality Control Issues, LONG cycles

We purchased this washer about 3 months ago, so I feel we've put enough time in to give a proper review. We wrestled between several washers and dryers and ultimately decided on the 9400 Duet HT, based strongly off of the reviews. We opted for the ...

Pros: Bigger loads, less water, less detergent, plenty of cycles to choose from
Cons: No small load option on my version

I have to say i love going from a top loader to a front loader. I get more in one load and my laundry is cleaner. I bought mine when they first came out and love it. I also had to get the dryer to accommodate the larger loads. But it was well worth the ...

Pros: Great twin dryer, attractive design, great options,
Cons: HE wash, need hot water or at least warm, quality issues

I went from a Maytag top loading washing machine to this Whirlpool Duet in 2002. Here is the story then and now. Then: We got the washer, did the pre-wash your supposed to do before washing your actual clothing. And the door seal sprung a leak and ...

Pros: Handles different kinds of loads with ease. Great machine!
Cons: Loads take a long time to wash. Horrible customer service from Whirlpool!

I bought my Duet washer in early March 2006, and I love, love, love it! It's very gentle on my clothes, its capacity is cavernous, and it uses way less water than my old top-load washer. I've mostly used the Normal and Whitest Whites cycles, but I've ...

Pros: Very large capacity. Excellent efficiency. Excellent performance in every cycle. Thorough, gentle cleaning. Quiet.
Cons: Expensive. Dimensions different from previous top-loaders. Learning curve. No meaningful reliability data.

This is my first front loader. I chafed at the price but after five months usage must confess I am converted. Like many others switching from a lifetime of top-loader experience, it took me a while to get used to the principals and quietness of the ...

Pros: Large Capacity, Low water and soap usage
Cons: Frequent repair

I Picked the Duet series because I have a large family, and we do a lot of laundry. The promise of energy and water efficiency, and big load capacity overcame my reticence at the very high price. I should have run away when the first one delivered and ...

Pros: Conserves water
Cons: Lousy cleaning job and mold develops around/on detergent dispenser. Transfers moldy odor to clothes.

I (thought I) researched thoroughly, and read many of the early reviews on Epinions and Consumer Reports. Unfortunately, the problems I'm experiencing may not show up immediately -- in my case, after months of use. Primarily, the design of the ...

Pros: High quality, good features, big capacity, energy saving technology
Cons: Complicated controls, long cycle times, $2200 is a lot

Bought the washer/dryer pair from Lowe's in August '06 and so far we LOVE this machine pair! Before buying, we read the all messages on this site and others about the moldly smell, so we leave the washer door slightly open after each use -- about a ...
