Pros: Large capacity
Cons: Machine has had multiple part failures. Whirlpools customer service is extremely poor
In July 2003, we bought a Whirlpool Calypso Washer. This model cost $900 plus tax-top of the line and is also rated #2 by Consumer Reports. On 2/9/04 this machine quit operating. Still under warranty, I contacted Best Buy where it was purchased and a ...

Pros: Cool looking
Cons: Does not do a good job of getting clothes clean (excessive lint)
I purchased this machine about 6 months ago. Ir replaced a Maytag Neptune, which broke constantly (another story for another time). Anyway, this machine had just come out under the Whirlpool name (it had been available as a Kenmore for about a year)....

Pros: Cleans good.
Cons: Can't control how much water to use.
Purchased my Calypso in 2004 back then when I was young and dumb not making sure I get the right value of whatever I buy with money I work real hard for. Anyways, I don't know if my machine falls under the Class Action Lawsuit. Either way ...

Pros: None
Cons: After 15 months, light colored clothes get black spots. Water goes everywhere in the floor.
I have been very disappointed with what I thought was the best, top of the line, washing machine ever. When washing my comforters or sheets the water overflows and spills out onto the floor. What a mess. Also after using about 15 months black spots...

Pros: Whirlpool is known for good product quality.
Cons: They missed the mark on this machine.
The Calypso washing machine is one of the worst appliances that is out there still. All of the machines that were manufactured to be top of the line by Whirlpool between 2001 and 2004 have had severe product failures. They either collect water in the ...

Pros: I looks great in my utility room. I haven't had any problems with the dryer.
Cons: Everything about the Calypso is bad. This was a total waste of money!
After much anticipation of moving into a new home, I bought the brand new Whirlpool Calypso washer and dryer to replace an old conventional Whirlpool washer and dryer. After reading the instructions, it explained that I needed to use the HE (high ...

Pros: Cleans clothes well before tearing, spindling and mutilating them.
Cons: Faulty gasket design, poor repair services, lackluster Whirlpool customer service.
We bought the Whirlpool Calypso Washer at Best Buy based largely on favorable reviews on Epinions and elsewhere. It has some nice features, such as automatic water level adjustment and rapid wash cycles that made it stand out among the competition. ...

Pros: I still have the warranty for these costly repairs!!
Cons: Pretty much everything about the washer stinks, literally. Mold. Mildew...
If you are thinking about buying this washer, DON'T. Save yourself the $$ and the headaches. It is horrible. The sales guy at Sears said it was the best washer on the market. Well if this is the best washer, I hate to see the worst. Leaves clothes ...

Pros: Capacity (cleaned favorite queen size comforter), Energy efficient, Separate bleach/detergent/softener bins
Cons: Poor reliability, excessive repairs, noisy, damages clothing, expensive repair parts, no lint filter
12/04 Update: Our washer is just over 2 years old now and has been one problem after another. Given I expect this to continue, I thought it important to update my recommendation to "Don't Buy" (original review below dashed line). Problems include: ...

Pros: easy to use dial layout
Cons: doesn't work, incompetent service, mfg does not honor warranty.
The washer stopped working just 2 months after purchased. It keeps stopping at the rinse cycle with the error code "LF" which is meant to indicate a long fill cycle. I've had 3 in-house services from 2 different Whirlpool-recommended service companies...

Pros: when it worked it cleaned clothes decently
Cons: black steaks, bleach streaks, clothes wrinkled, hideous repair history, lawsuit filed & settled
I bought this washer mid 2003. I wanted a front loader, but this style wouldn't fit in my previous tiny laundry room, so I chose the Calypso instead, as it was advertised as a top loader w/the design of a front loader. Also highly rated by Consumer ...

Pros: Gentle on clothing, good capacity, cleaned well (at first).
Cons: Unreliable piece of junk.
I bought my Calypso about 4-1/2 years ago. I loved the machine for the first 4 years. It washed very well, was gentle on my family's clothing, and could handle bulky items such as comforters. As recommended by the manufacturer, I used nothing but ...

Pros: handles bulky items
Cons: initial price
While only purchased about a month ago, am already saving about $15 to $20 per month by not having to send comforters and throw rugs out to be cleaned. Excellent machine for these type items, not to mention having to run them to and fro to have ...
