My best appliance purchase decision -

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this washer (and matching dryer) to replace a very old and reliable Kenmore washer and dryer due to age and increasing needs for service and repairs. My decision was based on features and the reputation of Whirlpool appliances, and I’m more than pleased with the outcome. The only difficulty I have had was due to a plumbing error in the installation of the wall mounted service box (supply and drain) during construction of my house - the drain is too low, and needed an anti-siphon break installed. The installation techs missed that one when they it’s were delivered, it took a couple of error codes to solve. Always pay attention to the instructions !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This washer is amazing-all the cleaning cycles and options+how great my clothes look after washing. Fantastic buy!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this premium priced machine is adequate, it is missing basic features that I came to depend on while owning my Whirlpool Duet HT for 20 years. It is infuriating that there is not an option for PreWash, nor is there space in the detergent drawer for such. Additionally, the “glass” inside the door is a cheap plastic material unlike the substantial glass that was inside my Duet HT.
I would gladly trade the bells and whistles on this machine for the dependable, accommodating washer I left when I moved. To say I am dissatisfied is an understatement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t always like to rate appliances when I have first brought them. It would be better to ask in a year, three years, five years- you get the idea. How well do they perform and hold up in the long run? With that said, I am happy with this Whirlpool washer and the top reasons I bought it are a reputation for quality and long life and it is American made.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice looking unit. It takes some getting use to. The directions are flimsy and not very professional. Hope it lasts as long as old washer…22 years
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not Impressed. After reading insufficient operating instructions and unable to reach anyone at whirlpool,. dealer offered operational suggestions. No compartment for powdered laundry supplements (Borax). was told to simply dump into drum along with any color safe bleach. Borax caked up on drum seal and door window.
