Whirlpool WFW8300SW Front Load Washer

Pros: holds more, saves on water
Cons: persnickety F20 error codes, maintaining washer is key.

I’ve had the Whirlpool Duet Sport Washer Model # WFW8300SW Front Loader since Christmas. I really love the matching dryer, but this is definitely the mean sibling of the dryer. We paid $1,400 for the washer, dryer, and 2 pedestals. Before buying ...

Pros: Energy and water saving, clean, fresh laundry, can see the laundry going 'round and 'round!
Cons: Durability concerns, F-codes, some vibration issues.

When I was a young girl, my parents took me to a Sears and Roebuck in Richmond, Virginia. I was just small, couldn’t have been any older than five or so. They did whatever they did, whatever grownups do in such places, and I sat on the floor and ...

Pros: ecomonical, good settings, can do seventeen  pair of jeans at once or comforters.
Cons: professionally moved and installed, he detergent and the measurements are wider then normal.

 I recieved my front loader washer back in January 2008. I bought this product because consumer reports showed that it was economical and could do 17 loads of jeans in one load!    & nbsp;     I have ...

Pros: Capacity, cleans well, uses very little detergent
Cons: Price

I bought my wife the Duet Sport a few weeks back. In fact, we bought both the washer and the dryer, with the matching pedestals. They were a little pricey, but she really wanted them. The Duet Sport is a little different from the standard upright ...

Pros: Clean smelling clothing; energy efficient; quiet; clothing dries faster
Cons: None. Bleach dispenser can be moved out for easy access.

Background: I was tired of my laundry drama. Laundry was eating up my time and energy, and I dreaded throwing a load of clothing into my Maytag Performa (top loader with a composite plastic tub) which I purchased four years ago at Lowes. My ...

Pros: Good cleaning, much quieter than topload, no vibration, huge capacity, FAST spin even w/halfload.
Cons: "slappy" sounding doors, fiddly controls if you're used to old fashioned, louder than some.

This is a great washer. I am *very* happy with it. It all started when we bought a house and moved into it...but before moving into it there was an offending door *between the kitchen and bathroom/laundry room* that had to be dealt with. In other ...

Pros: extra rinse choice
heavy duty cycle
spin speed choices
quiet
energy star
Cons: common F20 error requiring a $35 valve should have been recalled.

Mine has been pretty good. I would not agree that I can do sixteen pairs of jeans or towels in it. I do like having the extra rinse function & heavy duty cycle, I use them quite a lot.  And I did want an energy star model.  Like many buyers ...

Pros: Efficiency, quiet wash cycle
Cons: Noisy pump

I needed a replacement for my GE top loader that had been throwing oil out of the transmission almost since day one. I read up on appliance forums and discovered that this is a common problem. I decided that I would use it until it failed, then "kick it ...

Pros: Great looking machine, clothes are cleaner than ever before!
Cons: Without the optional pedestals, you have to bend down to load and unload the machine.

I recently replaced my top loader with this front loader and although I was a bit hesitant because you have to bend down to load and unload the machine (I didn't purchase the optional pedestals), it is definitely worth making the switch. I've been using ...

Pros: Fairy quiet, very gentle on clothes, fast spinning cycle cuts on drying time.
Cons: Wash cycles are longer than top loaders, have to bend down to put laundry in.

Like others, I also researched on washers and dryers. My dream washer is a Miele but at $2,000 for just the washer, it was priced out of my reach. Read all the reviews on this one. There is a known problem with the F0 error. I was told you can fix it ...

Pros: clothes are softer, has cut costs on our water bill
Cons: long cycle lengths

This is a great washing machine. The only down fall that I can think of...it does not fold the laundry, nor put it away. From the first time I used it, I had great results. This machine uses such a small amount of water and HE laundry detergent, ...

Pros: Thorough cleaning job, uses very little water and energy
Cons: Loud spin cycle

I love our Whirlpool Duet Washer. We bought this model because it had almost all of the great features or the larger models at half the cost. With only my husband and myself to wash clothing for, we didn't really see the need to be able to wash a ...

Pros: Energy efficient, Internal Water Heater, Quick Wash, Delicates, & Cleaning Options, Easy to Use
Cons: None

I was in the market for a washer and dryer for my home, which would be used by myself as well as my two tenants. Consequently, I was looking for something that tough and reliable and would give me years of trouble-free use. Water efficiency was also a ...

Pros: Cleans clothes, nice selection of cycles, easy to use.
Cons: We needed repair after 1.5 years.

Please read the *edited* part at the bottom: Our Duet Sport recently "broke" after only owning it for 1.5 years. We noticed one day that a small amount of water was leaking out the front. From that day on the spin cycle has sounded like the machine ...

Pros: Silent washing cycle, fast and quiet spin, good price, wash time equals dry time, efficient
Cons: Water handling seems loud, panel and pump vibration, low opening, more $ than TL

Looks nice design-wise. Body, door and mechanics appear strong, but fit-and-finish is average to good. The plastic front panel parts don't mate well with the metal panels. It's cosmetic, but I noticed it. The metal structure and panels fit together ...
