I bought the Cabrio (WTW5640) at Lowe's after my 30-year-old Kenmore bit the dust. I can't believe how well it cleans! It does sound way different than a washer with an agitator. The cycles are a little bit longer, but boy, does it clean! My winter jacket has never looked better. It works really well on stains, too. Especially blood. Not to be gross, but ladies - you know what I mean. I have also washed throw blankets that the damned cat has barfed on, and they've come out as clean as a whistle. The only drawback - if you can call it that - is if you're short you may have trouble reaching into the washer. It's pretty deep. I've had it for just over a month now and am very pleased. I also got the matching dryer, but come on - a dryer is pretty much a dryer. Although it does have a light inside so you can see every last sock in there. All in all, I'm glad I went ahead and spent the money.

I bought the cabrio washer and dryer in October 2009. While the dryer was under warranty the tab on the door broke. After 18 months the control panel on the washer went the repair cost nearly 200.00. I called Whirlpool for help, I explained that I know they are having trouble with this machine, I asked if they could split the repair, pay for the parts, any assistance at all. They not only refused but they said it was perfectly acceptable for an appliance only 18 months old and costing nearly 1,000.00 to have a major failure. The tech told me that the U joint is also failing and I will need to repair that soon also. That repair costs almost 400.00. Needless to say I will need to replace a washer that is not even two years old. I will never buy another Whirlpool product. The quality is beyond poor and their customer service is awful. Don't buy this machine and if you already did; buy the extended warranty, you'll need it.

My previous washer was a 17 y.o. Whirlpool that was still running so I was hesistant to replace. But my beloved 10 y.o. dishwasher died and my 12 y.o. dryer, while it still worked, the timer function was broken (this can't be fixed) and the only temperature setting still working was high. The dryer would run for hours if you did not manually stop it. I was feeling a little superstitious (things coming in 3s and all that), so I decided to replace all three at once. I needed something fairly compact but with a big capacity, quiet, efficient, reliable and reasonably priced. Plus, I would only replace a working machine with an Energy star rated machine. My laundry area is essentially a hallway off the kitchen and mudroom. I don't have the space for the gorgeous and ridiculously expensive front loaders. I've had this machine about a week and so far, so far. The capacity is great but the machine itself is compact, even smaller than my old washer, a definite plus. I could do without the electronic controls, but they are pretty, which is nice as the machine is visible. It's done a great job thus far on our laundry, and we do several loads of laundry a week. It's fairly quiet but not as quiet as I would like. If it were quieter, I'd give it 5 stars. The price was definitely right - around $500 with a rebate. Time will tell how reliable it is. I know it won't last 17 years because they just don't make machines like that anymore, but if I get 7-8 good years, I'll be pleased.

amazing machine, what-up, haters?
I'm not sure what kind of weird industrial malfeasance is going on, but when I was doing research, it was impossible to find any positive reviews for washers. Read more

One star beacuse I can't give it zero stars
I'll save everyone the details and just say it doesn't get your clothes clean. It leaves soap spots on dark items. Junk, junk, junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty weak, already failing in < 2 years +++ UPDATED
I think it was Consumer Reports that was the reason I bought this Dryer/Washer set. I'll have to say that the build quality and internal components are pretty crappy. Read more

Be warned
I would NEVER buy one of these again and I will never buy anything from Whirlpool or the related companies. Both of the reviews so far have been from fairly recent purchasers. Read more
