What Customers Are Saying

The Whirlpool washing machine is generally well-received by customers. Many praise its quiet operation, efficient cleaning performance, and useful features like app connectivity and large capacity. However, some users found it noisier than expected, especially during cycles, and felt the drum size was smaller than anticipated. A few also reported issues with the programming and controls being overly complicated. Overall, the positive reviews highlighting the machine's reliability and smart capabilities outweigh the minor complaints.

Best Washer Ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful, easy to use, quiet, keeps up with my dog care business … laundry has honestly never been so clean after using this washer. I’m shocked at how dirty my laundry used to be … and I didn’t know it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have some issue with this product. It tends to be loud and does not spin as expected

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Just bought in December of 2025. Only complaint is the drying cycle makes the whole unit shake pretty loudly. But does dry really well.

Love the WiFi and App capabilities

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this machine for a little over a month now. So far I am happy with my choice. I like the WiFi feature and being able to control the machine with the app. Getting notifications on my phone when loads are finished is extremely helpful and makes doing laundry so much better! The only thing I’m not super happy about is I’ve noticed on a few loads the laundry pods not dissolving all the way and are stuck to my clothes. I never had this prob...

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this a month ago and and very satisfied with it so far. I'm getting to know the features and how they work. It's very different from my 20 year old top load Maytag!

Great features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this a few weeks ago and have over 30 loads through it. So far we’re very happy with our purchase.

Way too "fussy". Overtaken by software.

Would Not Recommend

Pro: it does was clothes adequately. Cons: electronic controls are a pain. After pushing the power button, it has to "boot up". Then after selecting a cycle, you have to hold the "play" button for about 10 seconds to confirm your choice. Worst is that after every few loads you get a message saying to run the "clean cycle" which requires a special cleaner and takes FOUR HOURS! What a waste of time and unnecessary wear and tear on the machine. Oh, and it has wifi connection...who cares! Wish we h...

Spin Cycle issues

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The main concern with this washer is the maintenance and issues we are having with the spin cycle. Often time the washer spins so violently that it crawls forward. This can happen with smaller loads or large loads. It's somewhat inconsistent. Also, having to dry the drum and running a cleaning cycle every 30 loads can be a pain. I admit, I've never had a front loader before so maybe this is common?

Smart Features That Actually Help

Would Recommend

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I really like this washer so far. It’s super quiet, fits big loads easily, and the Smart features make laundry day a lot smoother. The FreshFlow™ Vent System actually keeps it smelling fresh, which is a nice change for a front-loader. The controls took a little time to figure out, and some cycles run long, but overall it’s reliable and efficient. I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5.

Takes some time adjusting!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Washes well! Drum a bit smaller than expected. Very poor instructions. I still don’t understand why dry drum takes 40minutes. The dial on front misalignment for load type is very confusing. May think your washing with one setting, but you are actually using another.

Efficient and dependable.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with our new Whirlpool Front Load Energy Star Washer/Dryer set. There are 2 new improved features that I noticed when we bought the units, the washer drain being in front and the light inside the dryer. We also noticed that it is quieter and seems to be more efficient with the sensor features on both the washer and the dryer. The different wash cycles are a plus too. My husband does all the maintenance on our appliances and says t...
