Whirlpool Duet Sport Washing Machine Review

Bought the Duet Sport washer NEW just over 2 years ago.  Paid $800 for it and already had to spend over $500 additional in repairs! What is wrong with this picture?  There are only 2 of us so the machine gets LIGHT use.  

First incident was a shredded belt--8 months after the 1 year warranty expired.  Second incident, the CCU board had to be replaced, this at exactly 2 years and 1 month of use. Repairman told me the machine is "nothing but trouble", parts can take MONTHS to get, and he'd never buy one.  Wish I'd known that BEFORE I bought this one! His parting words to me after the 2nd incident were: "See you in a few months or so when the water pump goes..."  NOT funny.

However, Whirlpool Customer Service IS a joke.  It's too bad when a company won't stand behind their product unless you purchase an extended warranty.  It is unacceptable for a 2 year old product to need 2 major repairs.  Washers are categorized as Durable Goods for a reason.  But their attitude was "tough luck."

I'm extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with this machine; I regret buying it and definitely would NOT recommend it to ANYONE.    FYI: Google "Duet Sport washer problems" and read all the OTHER comments and complaints...
