Strengths: Fairly quiet
Weakness: Damages clothes,does't use enough water,goes off balance easily,tangles laundry, sets deep wrinkles in laundry
Beware of this machine.I have NEVER been so disappointed in a washer as this one.I have been doing laundry for 42 yrs! This washer has damaged more clothes in 2 years than I have in my entire 60 years of life!This so called washer should be pulled off the market,its a real LEMON!! This monster has chewed up clothes,stretched long sleeve shirts,put perm.wrinkles in bedding that I cannot get...
Strengths: Washes clothes when it works... ish
Weakness: It breaks
After two years the washer started to become way loud so we called in a tech who told us the bearing was going out and it would cost $550 to fix but that whirlpool would take care of us. So I call them and I get "sorry sir there is nothing we can do" so now I have a $1000 washer that needs a $550 repair to even get it working and Whirlpool won't help out at all....crazy
Strengths: Looks like the Rolls Royce of washers...
Weakness: Somehow washes IN odors, absolutely does not clean, does not rinse!
I am happily paying a $120 plus "restocking" fee plus delivery to the small clearance outlet I foolishly purchased this nightmare from to GET IT OUT OF MY HOUSE! I feel so much compassion to all of you remaining "owners" and feel like we should start a support club. I invited my salesman who raved about it to my house to watch 1 load (2 miles away) and to never sell it again....
Strengths: None. Help this by finding a way to disable the auto-lock.
Weakness: the whole machine is poorly thought out. I hate the auto lock feature and it failed within the first month. Find a way to disable it.
Following all the instructions to the detail, it still has the worst cleaning ability of any washer I've ever used, including a public laundromat. I like to access the water as it comes in to rince down the surfaces under the cover before I close it. Dirt and soap build up, rust sets in, its already nasty looking. Bleach spills out onto my clothes before the water comes in and ruins things....
Strengths: Large Capacity
Weakness: Have to babysit machine
I dont know what Whirlpool did wrong with this machine but it hardly ever gets through a load without becoming unbalanced. Sometimes it can take up to an hour to wash a load of clothes. Can't leave house with wash going because in all likelihood I have to stop washer to rebalance load. Had a front loader and dealer talked me into this one. Big mistake!!
Strengths: none
Weakness: no compensation for horrific quality
Have been house-sitting for my sister. Wonderful house with all kinds of handy hi-tech appliances. I can appreciate them! HOWEVER!!!! OMG!!!!! Never seen such pieces of crap as these washers and dryers! What; they really want us to comment on the little points they could improve on ??? Yeah, Right? In my own home, I have a washer and dryer that cost me 950.00 10 years ago. They still work...
Strengths: Zero.....very loud....constant break downs.....dosent clean clothes at all....you could do a better job with a washboard and a bucket...sour/mold smell to your clothes especially dark clothing
Weakness: The entire Cabrio line is garbage / service people like them because they make money fixing them / garbage machines and whirlpool should be ashamed / an absolute nightmare / I will never own whirlpool
Obviously Whirlpool has got a serious problem on their hands...this Cabrio line of appliances is total junk and should never have been sold to the general public....This product is so poorly made it is embarrassing for Whirlpool. I am quite sure the board of directors and all the investors enjoyed the high profits low cost to manufacture this garbage....but at what cost...how many thousands of...
Strengths: None
Weakness: Does not remove stain nor odor.
I have owned this washer for 6 months and during that time my clothes have become imbedded with odor and stains because each successive washing gets the clothes less clean. The washer uses very little water and the result is clothes that are stained and smell bad. I have tried everything including soaking 90 minutes and then washing for 90 minutes. I use detergent, bleach and stain remover, but...
Strengths: Saves water
Weakness: Washer gets off balance and clothes that are no supposed to be no- iron require ironing; they are all tangled up when cycle completes.
I had a washing machine that was old and constantly got off balance; when I purchased this one I explained that to the sales person. He advised me against getting a front loader because it gets the clothes unbalanced; it could not be any worse than this one.If you put in a very small amount of clothing it works fine except for the fact they are wrinkled and tangled. But towels or anything like a...
The Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6400SW is a high-end top loading washing maching, which falls in the middle of the Cabrio product line offered by Whirlpool. This washer is Energy Star qualified, and saves up to 44% water and 55% energy compared to conventional top-load washers. The large 4.6 cu. ft I.E.C. capacity stainless steel wash basket allows you to wash three hampers of laundry in a single load....

cabrio washer by whirlpool
Strengths: saves water
Weakness: dribbles water all over the floor. clumps clothes in odd configurations. doesn't clean any better than regular washers.
We have spent over half the initial cost of this washer on repairs, most notably the water pump, and it still dribbles water on the floor during every washing. I would not, not, not recommend this washer.
