Good economic washer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought washer about 3 months ago. Looks really good inside and out. Seems to clean clothes well,. It was a little complicated to figure out how to start, but it worked ok, just wished it would fill with more water.

Okay washer for basic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a washer the builder of my home put in here. I like the washer except that it does not have a place to put the soap. You have to put it right on your clothes. Nor does itbhave a buzzer

clean

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only reason I gave it a four star was I don't like how one has to start and stop the machine. If I forgot to put something in the washer and open the door and then close it I have to press the button. All old washers when you did this it would automatically start without having to press the start button. Other than that the machine seems to be doing the job.

Not good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was included in my home purchase from the builder. It's not working as it should. 9 times out of 10 the machine goes thru the Fill, Wash and Rinse cycles only to circle back to "WASH" and stall out. That means I have to completely restart the load making it almost double the time for a load to finish. Sometimes it won't finish and I simply "drain and spin" so it can be done. Whirlpool chat has suggested I "reset" the machine b...

Get any other model

Would Not Recommend

I’ve had 2 of these exact whirlpool models . My first one fried 4 circuit boards within 8 months before whirlpool would replace it . Got the replacement and 4 months later the circuit board is fried. Was extremely difficult getting Whirlpool to do anything for the warranty other than replacing the circuit board . They stated “they stand by their products.” It also does not clean clothes properly, leaving soap residue and white patches on clothes . Save yourself the time , the money and the ang...

Learning curve but good.

Would Recommend

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We purchased this unit just over six weeks ago. While we were looking forward to having and using a brand new washing machine after using our last machine for about twenty five years. Well, let me tell you,it’s definitely a learning curve, having done laundry the same way for so many years. But, once we started adjusting our way of doing laundry and following instructions and tips, it seems to be working well. The hardest parts are getting used...

Product failure; brand erosion

Would Not Recommend

This is a product failure. The drain pump stays on endlessly due to a faulty control board. I’ve had mine for just over two years and had this failure twice. Previous Whirlpool washer lasted 18 years without a repair. Not the same reliable brand it used to be.
