    Pros: relatively quiet
    Cons: twisted clothes, not durable
    expensive to try to repair

    Pros: High capacity
    Cons: Does not last, poorly engineered

    Summary: At about 4.5 years the machine starting spraying black oil on the floor and the bearings needed to be replaced.  A common issue with this machine.  The repairman recommended I call Whirlpool to get assitance since this is such a common issue ... read more

    Pros: Pros: NONE whatsoever!
    Cons: Everything about the machine reflects disaster. Stay as far away as you possibly can.

    Summary: Had my previous washing machine for almost 20 yrs w/no more than 2 service calls. Four days before Christmas 2010, it washed its last wash. So 4 days before Christmas I was forced to purchased a new machine. I spent the entire Saturday before Christmas ... read more

    Pros: See through lid. Entertains pets and small children. Impresses guests. Fits a lot of clothes.
    Cons: Takes forever to wash clothes.
    Expensive.
    Eats small items.

    Summary: Don't be dazzled with the fanciness of it...This washing machine SEEMS lovely at first. But truly, it is not worth the money. Yes it saves energy, but it uses so little water that I really don't feel it gets the clothes as clean as if they were submerged ... read more

    Aug 27, 2010
    Pros: Attractive, reliable, effective, efficient, quiet, economical operation, environment friendly
    Cons: High initial cost (we paid $800 delivered), but saves money in operation and time too.

    Summary: At 58 years old, I have used my share of washing machines. Even owned a commercial laundromat unit once. With an active family of seven, it has always seemed like washing was an ongoing process, almost like the washing machine never stopped. This machine ... read more

    May 10, 2010
    Pros: Whirpool makes excellent appliances and I think this is just an isolated incident.
    Cons: I am suprised that this failure occured so soon.

    Summary: When our Kenmore washer transmission gave up the ghost two years ago we decide to purchase a new Cabrio washer and matching dryer based on test results and reviews from consumers. Whirpool boasts that the Cabrio uses less water and is ... read more

    Pros: Large capacity is only nice thing about this machine.
    Cons: Pump breaks too easily and clothes don't smell clean.

    Summary: I will never buy another Whirlpool product. I have the Cabrio WTW6800W for just 2 years now and I have found that the machine was designed to allow coins, buttons and small objects to pass thru into the pump area very easily. I have had to repair

    Pros: Handles very large loads.  Spins the clothes to leave a minimum of water.
    Cons: Warm water setting more like tepid.
    bleach dispenses undiluted and ruins clothes

    Summary: I bought the whirlpool cabrio washer because I wanted a washer which could handle large loads.  That seems to be the only plus of this washer.  The warm water setting is barely lukewarm.  The bleach dispenser has ruined more than one

    Pros: Large capacity tub
    Easy to clean
    Cons: Price
    Severe wrinkling of clothes
    Doesn't get stains out easily
    Seems extra rough on clothing

    Summary: Purchased in 12/10 when my reliable old Maytag bit the dust.  Definitely was swayed by all the features and large capacity.  Biggest problems are severe wrinkling of clothing even when low spin is selected and minor stains are not coming out of
