[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Grumbles. Had uiit serviced, new tub installed. Service was very smooth, techs did a good job. It still grumbles. One tech said they are all like that. Maybe they are. Not his fault. Washer functions properly. Thanks for the opportunity.

Cheaply made
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Door glass is plexiglass and it scratches very easily. The detergent dispenser is very flimsy. It doesn’t always ring clothes out good. Letters are already rubbing off of the front of the washer and dryer. Very cheaply made.

I have bought 2 whirlpool washers and dryers for my home and business and all 4 have given me problems. I’ve had them for a couple years but the button panels on my home washer/dryer are detaching, the dryer stops prematurely and doesn’t dry very well. It never really did. They just aren’t made the way they used to be, as I sit here researching error codes once again on my work washer. I will never buy another.

So far the washer is performing well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this washer last week. So far we are happy with its performance. However, the lack of access for suggested periodic cleaning of the filter is very very disappointing. Literature led us to believe it had a removable access panel, NONE EXISTS. That's why i might not recommend it to friends

Terrible design
We've been using this washer for about 6 months. Every side load washer needs to have the drain pump filter cleaned on occasion or your wash will stink. It's part of regular maintenance. Most washers either have a tray at the bottom of the front that pulls out or a little door on the front or side. This is so you can easily access the drain pump filter for REQUIRED cleanings. You have to take the entire top and front of this washer off to access it... door and all! What a terrible design! Somet...

The digital choices are great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a learning curve, as I've gotten used to the washing machine I love it!

Great Reliability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My other washer stopped working so I needed a new washer and I chose Whirlpool because I have a Whirlpool refrigerator that has run flawlessly for over 30 years so I hope that the washer has long term reliability.

Ease of use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far this washer is living up to its name - Whirlpool makes excellent products. It replaced a 20 year old washer that just couldn't run anymore. It was very easy transitioning to the new washer and I like the profile of the digital face.

Spin Cycle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel the machine is fine with one exception: Spin Cycle does not remove enough water even on High setting. Unlike my previous washing machine which did an excellent job removing excess water on high spin Cycle.

Works Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this washer 6 months ago and it works great. My wife is very happy with this machine.
