Not worth its price and unrepairable

Bought this in April of 2020, thankfully bought it together with a Whirlpool Service Plan offered, sold and issued by AIG and approved by Whirlpool. Until it broke the machine performance was ok: -Pros: cleans clothes as expected, is gentle on fabrics, has a lot of options to customize the wash, 2 automated detergent dispenser tanks are convenient -Cons: control screen is very slow to react, needs cleaning cycle on a regular basis to prevent build up/smell even using the automated dispenser...

Nice machine

Would Recommend

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Loving the connected home functionality. Scheduling and remote starting a load of laundry so it’s ready when I get home from work is a great time saver.

Definitely better then expected.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely loving the bulk hopper for the detergent I can just throw my clothes in and hit the start button no need to measure out detergent everytime I do a load of laundry. The smart features are a huge help for me since I am always outside or on the go I won't be around to hear the end of cycle alarm or I'll tend to forget I put laundry In. So having the app tell me when the cycle is complete is an awesome feature for me. Plus the washer wor...

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have been using this front load for a month now and I am very pleased with it. Clothes are clean and I have noticed a huge difference in my whites. I love the easy use of the display and washing options.

It is dead

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought for a new house and it died within 6 months. Finally got a repairman scheduled and it is still not repaired 2 weeks later. This is an overly complicated machine to operate. It is an example of the overuse of technology making life harder rather than easier

Great washer but wifi connectivity is a nightmare

The washer itself does a fine job, but the touchscreen is laggy and the wifi connectivity (the main reason I bought the model) is a nightmare. Wifi drops on a weekly basis, with the only option is to turn off the circuit breaker on/off. Tried everything: Factory reset Double checked wifi signal 2g and 5g wifi separated No hope :(

Works well, loose top cover.

Would Recommend

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Right after installed noticed a loose fitting top which rattles, making an otherwise quiet washer a bit noisy. Otherwise the washer is easy to use with many fratures. Would expect a higher quality fit of sheet metal for what we paid.

My very first ever front loader!

Would Recommend

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) All my (41 year) life I’ve been using the traditional top loader washing machine. The previous (Kenmore) was a top loader with an agitator in the middle. I have been pretty used to using these as the tub was filled with water to wash my clothes so that left me a little skeptical about these new and more modern front loaders. I have to say, the clothes do get pretty soaked (I was staring at it during the first few washes) in the machine. The gre...

Quite Quiet Machine

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is wonderful! It is substantial and at the same time, it is quiet. This is my first front load washing machine. Can't believe how little water is left in the clothes after the spin cycle is completed. I am proud that it is Made In America!
