This came with my apartment and it is the worst washing machine that I have ever used. It doesn’t fill up with nearly enough water to wash anything. The rinse cycles don’t effectively rinse anything. Whoever designed this has never had to do laundry their entire life. It’s clunky and the cycles are stupid.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I ordered this washing machine together with a matching heat pump dryer, because we were building a new Passive house and we needed a heat pump dryer that doesn't have an outside vent. This washer grows black mold right inside the soap dispenser - in the softener and bleach compartments. I don't even use any of the dispenser compartments, because I use soap pods which I place directly inside the machine. I can only imagine what grows inside the machine! I had to use a painting brush to remove the black mold out of all the nooks and crannies of the dispenser. Also the fact that I have to hold the start button for 3 secs to start the machine is supper annoying. If you hold a second longer - the machine will never start. Who designed this equipment? Did you do any user testing on it? Did you ask any family members to use it? I have never owned a Whirlpool appliance and I will never buy another one. What a shame.

TERRIBLE DESIGN. your clothes will eventually start smelling like mildew and no matter how many times you use a cleaning tablet your clothes will still STINK. there’s no reasonable way to clean any filters or anything that could be causing this issue without taking the machine out and unscrewing panels and trying to squeeze your way into the machine. Unlike other models where they put a drawer to access the filter you need to be a licensed plumber to deep clean this atrocity. Whatever engineer designed this hunk of junk needs to be fired immediately.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Whirlpool Is not good like 10 years ago. I have whirlpool front door washer which it’s door is plastic not glass anymore. Therefore it makes more sound when tumbling. Secondly, this model 560chw uses too little water so I always add extra rinse time. That is not what I want. Last but not least, the digital control panel is so sensitive and most important thing is the drum spinning is not balance most the time. I wish I didn’t buy it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased a home that included this washing machine. Its sleek design is quite appealing, and so far, it's functioning very well. My only concern is that it can be quite noisy during certain cycles, louder than others I've used in the past. However, it does perform its task adequately, and I am pleased with it overall.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We had to replace our washer machine and decided on the Whirlpool washer. Over all we are very satisfied. Clothes come out very clean, machine is easy to operate.
