What Customers Are Saying

The Whirlpool top-loading washer offers a mix of positive and negative features. Customers are generally satisfied with its capacity, cleaning performance, and energy efficiency. However, some have reported issues with excessive noise, vibration, and balance problems, especially when washing larger loads. The lack of a fabric softener dispenser and long wash cycle times have also been noted as drawbacks by some users. Overall, the washer appears to be a decent basic model that meets the needs of many customers, but may not live up to the brand's reputation for quality and durability.

Nice, but need old skool instructions

Seems to work ok, but only been a week. It would be good if whirlpool included some written instructions in how the machine works. I had to contact support online to get functions questions answered

Here's what worked for me

Would Recommend

I read some of the 3 and 2-star reviews and many people don't like how little water comes into the tub. I was the same and so here is what worked for me: 1) run whites cycle; 2) select the Deep Water option. This allowed PLENTY of water into the tub and provided what I was looking for. Like many machines, products, electronics, whatever...there are a lot of options but one that works best. I would have given 5 stars but (like many other reviewers) I am disappointed with the lack of user document...

New washer without fabric dispenser.

New washer model WTW5020SW impeller. It does not have a fabric softener dispenser. It does have an option to turn on Fabric Softener in the rinse cycle. During the wash cycle lid locks so you have to watch for the cycle to end and spin out wash water. Then you can PAUSE the washer to load softener, otherwise to goes on and finishes the wash. If you put the softener ball in the beginning of the wash the fabric softener was drained during the wash spin cycle. If you have an answer for this le...

My wife and I came into Lowe’s in Merrillville to look at washing machines. Our 35 year old GE finally bit the dust. We were looking but not being pressured by sales person Bill. When we finally decided on a model that’s when help was needed and again we asked Bill for assistance. He was very knowledgeable and helpful for us to purchase a Maytag top load with the impeller basket. Could not been happier about choice..

Love all the features

Would Recommend

I bought this washer a year ago and I really like it. My husband is a mason and comes home very dirty, the heavy duty cycle cleans these close really well. The soak cycle is a plus to have for stained clothing that need an extra boost. Just a couple things though, it does make a loud noise when it starts and shifts between cycles and I wish it showed more of the stages of wash, for instance it goes from soak to wash to done it does not show when it’s in rinse or spin cycle which I think is flaw ...
