Whirlpool Smart High-Efficiency Top-Load Impeller Washer & Electric Dryer Set with Load & Go™ dispenser

Bad

I am not one to write reviews. I dont think I have ever written an online review in my life. But this washing machine is so frustrating that I felt I just wanted to warn people before they consider buying this. I bought this and the dryer as a set. The dryer has been good to this point. No complaints there. But this washing machine gets caught in a cycle where it cant balance the load. And it will just keep filling up the drum and then emptying it. Then filling it up again and emptying it. You ...

Defective Design; won't wash fitted sheets

We bought this washing machine in July 2020 because the brand came highly recommended. For most washing it does an acceptable job. However, as has been mentioned in several other posts on this string, it is completely unsatisfactory for washing fitted sheets. I have reviewed the instructions and video on the website on how to load fitted sheets. I had a Whirlpool service technician come out to check to see if the tub was unbalanced. No matter how carefully I load the sheets, it still become...

Happy Feet Washer Disappointment

I like others purchased this washer back in 2020 and it's never really lived up to the hype. I'm currently on replacing the balance springs twice and at this point ready to move on to a new one and possibly a new brand. This thing has danced all in my laundry room so much that my wall needs a paint. We have placed the clothes in as instructed but still here we are. Not much for a design built for convenience and advanced technology. I gave it 2 stars because it has lasted this long.

NOT Built to Last

This washer has been nothing but a pain to deal with. About a year ago the motherboard went out and we had a repair tech come out and attempt that fix. After the back-ordered part came in weeks later he was able to get it back up and running. Now the washer squeals during the spin cycle. I have attempted the easiest DIY fixes to stop the issue (replace clutch ring assembly kit, check for clogs in water pump, clean under wash plate, etc.), all to no avail. Next up is calling a repair tech again t...

Guaranteed to break

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Whirlpool doesn’t make appliances to last. I have had three of these machines. The bearing gasket fails in every single machine. Only reason I keep buying them is I can do the repairs myself, it’s a large capacity machine and it does a good job when it works. Long gone are the days when companies stand behind their brand. The new standard for quality assurance is “will it break outside of warranty” supplemented with “we make decent margin on e...

RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS MACHINE!

I wish I could give this washing machine ZERO stars! My nightmare with this washer started five years ago. We built a brand new luxury home and splurged on this set because it was the biggest capacity washer on the market at the time. Well, the capacity is a joke because, yes you can fit a comforter and full set of towels and sheets into one load, but it only fills with about three inches of water (even on the bulky/deep fill cycle) so everything comes out half dry because water never actuall...

Dissappointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the product based solely on the good reputation for Whirlpool. My house was under renovations and I needed something quick. This washer seemed like a newer product and even though I had a front loader before, I opted for a top loader to make it easier on my back. The machine is noisy and I did not know what it meant to have an "agitator" Idid not know I had options on that, the sales person did not tell me anything about it. The only r...

Awful! Don’t waste your money on this junk!

If there was a 0 rating this is what it would get. I have had problems with this machine since day 1. It doesn’t spin my clothes out. Most of the time it will say the cycle is finished when it hasn’t even done anything. Plus I never could get it to connect to the app for updates. Even had a repairman come out once and said they have nothing but troubles with them. I don’t know how there has not been recalls on it. Don’t waste your time or money on this piece of junk! I will never buy another wh...

DO NOT USE FOR FITTED BED SHEETS!

Do not buy this washing machine if you are going to wash fitted bed sheets. We purchased this new in 2020. Every time we wash our fitted double or queen sized bed sheets, the machine wads the sheets up into a ball and causes a severe unbalanced load during the spin cycle. It shuts down and requires us to open the lid and rebalance the load then restart in an attempt to finish. Usually have to do this at least twice before the machine stops producing an unbalanced load and completes rinse and...

Super capacity great washer

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) It took a while to sort out what all the settings on this machine actually do It’s not obvious and is not user friendly The directions are not clear for the soap dispenser The variety of instructions for what AMD how are often contradictory and do not cover all washing needs I ignore all suggested settings and choose individual items every time The washer does not drain and spin well like a normal washer would I would expect water to be s...
