I have been unhappy with the Whirlpool Duet since the first time I used it. I find that it does not actually clean well. Actual stains and soil are not removed nearly as effectively as with a traditional washer, even with pre-treating. Another problem is the washer's inability to distribute bleach. The bleach pretty much tye-dyes the fabric, leaving huge discolored splotches. In a traditional washer I was always able to successfully use small ammounts of bleach to clean my pale colored sheets, now I have a lot of really ugly sheets! There is also a big odor problem that must be taken care of every few weeks, even though the door is left fully ajar when a load is not running.
