Works great, but multiple issues in the first year
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this machine to replace a previous Whirlpool Duet front loader my wife and I had had for around 17 years. For the most part, that machine only had a few minor issues (though I did have to replace the controller at around 5 years). This machine, however, does not have the same build quality. The operator panel feels very cheap and the detergent loading drawer is flimsy. These issues I can look past (unfortunately most companies are trying to save on development by reducing cost to manufacture), but three service calls and a replaced controller within the first 14 months of ownership leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Very glad I purchased the extended warranty and I highly suggest anyone purchasing this model to do the same. This could have just been a little bit of a lemon starting out, but it could save you some cash on service calls. It is working great now, but I definitely no longer see Whirlpool as our default appliance brand moving forward.

      A Washer That Works
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a Maytag about 30 years ago. Then, moved out of state. That washer was amazing. Kept it maintained and it’s still working, for my sister-in-law. Had to get a new washer and it’s amazing. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think I like it better than my Maytag! It’s easy to use, programming is a snap.

        Functional and Efficient
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This washer is working well and seems to meet our needs. Like most items these days, the construction is lightweight so I am not too sure about durability and longevity.

          Good washer
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Washer came with our new home purchase. It works well. No complaints.

            Front load
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have never had a front load washer. Been using for a month and happy with it so far and functions available on this machine.

              Just okay
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t care to push a button and hold it down for the count of 3 to get this washer to start. I’m only in my late 50’s but the hands don’t work like they used to. It does vibrate a bit and I’ve been told it works better when you really load it up. I didn’t have a choice when buying these appliances.

                Complicated at first
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The programming and holding the start button was confusing at first. It’s too complicated.

                  Somewhat disappointed in this machine
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this washer a month ago. I am rather disappointed in it...it is extremely noisy, and the normal wash cycle takes a very long time. The only plus is that it does enable one to wash a large load

                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and very quiet. I like the color it’s easy to clean.

                          Unattractive and not enough control
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm sorry to hurt your feelings, but the new design in UGLY. I had a Whirlpool front loading set that I loved (bought in 2009) but had to replace because the dryer died. I wish I could have my old set back. They do clean and dry clothes well. However, I feel like I have very little control over how they are washed and dried. I do not like the way the automatic settings work, I hate the long wash/dry times, and the eco boost is a joke.

                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Repair man came out. Thinks it needs new board. It'll take a week. We told meritage homes and we want a new one. No washer since 5/9/23 not happy with all of this!

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not really liking this machine as it does not spin good.. a few times my clothes come out soaked and wont let it spin on its own without having to run a whole new cycle! I dislike it!

                                  Cleans well, but not enough spin
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My clothes get sufficiently clean, but larger absorbent items, such as bath mats, do not get dry enough. Even after two cycles of extra spin on full spin speed they are too wet to put into the dryer. The noise level is acceptable.

                                      Great Washer
                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This washer does a great job for the 3 in my family. Easy to use and cloths come out clean. What was very disappointing was the delivery driver said he couldn’t put the washer and dryer on the stand drawers we had. That is very frustrating as we have no way to do that as these units are heavy. So, RT Moore who delivered gets a failing grade, just know they won’t put them on drawers.

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second whirlpool washer. We are hoping it lasts as long as our first one. The door is difficult for my wife to open and close. She says she is afraid she might damage it in the process.

                                                    Completely dead within 3.5 years, do not buy!
                                                    Bad machine design, poorly built, do not buy! I purchased this washer 07/03/2019 and have had nothing but problems with it. Within the first year there was an issue with a part missing from it being built in the factory, which caused water to spray out on the inside during a load. This caused the control panel on the front to fail from water damage. Also have water constantly leak down the front and pool underneath the machine, from the poorly fitting laundry detergent tray. Now less than 3.5 years after purchase, the appliance control unit has also failed. Been through 2 Whirlpool washing machine's in the past 11 years - this brand is not what it used to be. We won't buy Whirlpool again.

                                                        we purchased this washer last October 2022 and it's had problems w/ the spin ever since it was installed. If it spins up, which is not always, the entire house shakes. Otherwise it just starts to spin then slows and stops. Clothes are generally still soaking wet when the cycle is complete. Is this a common problem?

For instance why does it constantly display as washing when it has moved on to spin cycle. As I figure this out I think I will be much happier with my purchase. However when you try to phone for some guidance, or access chat for guidance you are put into automaton hell.
