What Customers Are Saying

This washing machine delivers reliable cleaning performance, with customers reporting their clothes come out very clean, even for heavily soiled items. The auto-sensing feature adjusts water usage efficiently, helping save water and energy. Users also note the quiet operation and spacious capacity that can handle large loads. However, some have experienced issues with unbalanced loads, vibration during spin, and longer wash times compared to older models. Overall, this is a good basic top-loader that meets most users' needs, though a small percentage have encountered quality or durability concerns.

Do not buy whirlpool!

Would Not Recommend

Worst washer I have ever owned. Stops mid cycle and won't complete the wash. Waiting on my 3rd repair in 8 months. Reached out to whirlpool and I also had purchased the extended warranty. They don't back the warranty because they said it's a 3rd party service which was also not advertised. I would not recommend this washer or any product by whirlpool for that matter since they don't honor the warranty or back their product.

Solid product for the price

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an efficient- and amazingly quiet- machine. It is perfect for one person, as I am, and I love the various choices for the cycles. I also love that you can open the lid after starting to add something you may have forgotten- many new machines "Lock" once you start, which has always been a complaint of mine. Does a great job with the cleaning, as well, which, I guess, is the only thing that really matters, when all is said and done!!

Perfect sized washer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the capacity size snd the agitation. Perfect for my space with an overhead cabinet because the lid is low enough to clear the cabinet when opened. Always pleased with the reputation the Whirlpool brand.

Looks good, but…

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For me it’s quite disappointing. I give it an honest 2 stars. I thought it would be an upgrade from my very old but similar whirlpool washer that recently stopped working. This new one is beautiful and cool looking and has a lot more space inside but I learned you can’t load it up much, maybe 4 t-shirts, 2 pair of pants, 2 pair of socks and probably 4 underwear make a full load and even then that may be too much! If you put more than that it wo...

Only lasted 2 years

Would Not Recommend

The control board needed replacing after only 2 years. That cost was prohibitive; near the cost of a new machine. So my two year old machine is junk

Basic washer but does what it is supposed to

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty basic washer with good capacity and cycle variety. Like the autosensing water level. Had it for over 3 months and so far no issues. Gave it 4 stars because it is a bit loud and some of the settings are not very intuitive. Overall pretty good price/quality unit.

One big flaw, otherwise great

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Capacity great: Fits two full sets of bed linen no problem. Good cycle variety. Haven't had any issue with anything snagging. Washes very well, ability to soak. Water level looks like it's too low, but I decided to "trust" the machine and let it do it's thing. I realized that the clothing are turned very well and I think that because there's less water, there's more friction and therefore cleaner results. BIG FLAW: The cycle does not b...

Just ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced identical model that I purchased in 2020. Did well until the transmission started leaking oil into the wash basin. Could not separate the wash basin from the transmission spindle, so I replaced the entire unit. Don’t expect to get more than 6 years out of the new one.

Great Washer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this washer to replace an Amana washer that was only 3 years old. The old one got off-balance on almost every load and required me to rearrange the clothes so that it could spin. It was a nightmare. This washer is quiet and does everything it is supposed to do. What a relief!

Decrease AI Features!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Locked lid??? This is NOT needed for ANY reason! If a load becomes unbalanced, it would take a person less than 30 seconds to OPEN the lid, redistribute clothing, and restart machine as compared to what you have made the machine do with AI.

Worst Washer

Would Not Recommend

What a piece of junk this washing machine turned out to be. I've only had for a year and a half and it no longer works. I barely do laundry as a single Nurse and now I'm going to the laundromat to wash my scrubs. my Parents said go with Samsung or LG and I should have listened. Don't waste your money.
