Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6600SBT Top Load Washer Review

I bought this Whirlpool WTW6700TW, which is the updated model of the 6600 because it now has the 4.6 cft capacity, after having just bought a Whirlpool Duet that broke after just 3 weeks.  I had read so many reviews, both negative and positive and wanted to come back and give my two cents worth myself and help someone else because it's a lot of money and a big decision since you are probably going to have this for many many years.  Of course at the time I wasn't happy, but now I'm glad the Duet broke (would not turn on) since I ended up getting this one instead.  For one thing, this one lets you use the cold tap water out of the faucet, the Duet only lets you use cold water that is actually heated up first if it's too cold.  I want to use the cold water on some of my colors and I don't have a problem with the water dissolving since I use liquid soap.  But the biggest thing is it's a lot bigger than the 4.0 Duet, this is 4.6.  Plus it cleans my King size down comforters so much better.  I end up washing them alot because of pets, who no matter how I try to cover and protect them always seem to make a mess on my beds.  It doesn't have an agitator like the old traditional top loaders, but it still somewhat agitates the clothes and I have put a colored cloth inside to see if it actually agitates it and sure enough it disappears and reappears over and over in the water, which the front loader just plop the clothes into the water as it spins.  The comforters come out much cleaner with this one than the Duet.  And another thing I did was put delicate bed pillows that got mess on them also into it (which is something you could never do in a traditional top load) and I set it on delicate cycle which includes the low spin speed, and it safely cleaned those pillows, even the one shaped like a pineapple, ha!  About it twisting clothes, I've never thought that any of my clothes were horribly twisted, and some are twisted when I use the high spin, but still nothing more than I ever had twisted in my old conventional top loader.  If you have something delicate, or maybe something you don't want stretched or spun hard, just put it on the lower spin cycle.  About it coming off balance, the only time I have ever had it go off balance is when I was washing those King size down comforters.  They are the really heavy full down comforters and they tend to sometimes get spun more on one side than the other and it will come off balance, but it is totally understandable to me, and I just adjust the comforter evenly again and that's it.  It never goes off balance with anything else (had it 3 months now).  Oh, another thing I like about this one is that you have the soak cycle, so that if you need to soak something really filthy or stained you can, and it soaks and agitates just slightly to really clean it, and I couldn't with the Duet.  I was also skeptical about using so little water compared to what I was used to and I would pause the wash and open the door to feel if the clothes were really getting wet, and sure enough they are, so I guess it's saving me money and again the clothes really do come out a lot cleaner than anything I've ever used before.  Oh, and also be sure and get this model that has the glass top, it is so much nicer being able to peek in on your clothes and it looks nice and stays clean really easy, never have to do anything to it.  Okay, another thing I forgot is to be sure and make sure you have room for this because the top door opens really wide and tall.  I just barely had room for this, and I can see some people having a problem with it hitting their cabinets above, so be sure and measure before you buy.
