Whirlpool Duet Washer - Front Load Review

I have had my Whirlpool Duet washer for almost 3 years and have hated it almost as long.  There are only 2 of us in the house and we don't produce that much laundry, yet I find I have to do 2 loads of colored clothes instead of the one I used to be able to do with my old top load.  The capacity stinks, maybe that is my fault, I thought with only 2 of us I didn't need the larger capacity (and consequently larger bill!).  Forget washing a single item, like the dog's blanket, half of the time when it is supposedly 'done' it is SOAKING wet because it didn't spin out so I have to put it back on the spin cycle and hope this time it will spin out.  The cycles take FOREVER to run, at least an hour a load, unless you do a 'quick load' and the drying time is NOT that much less, as they would lead you to believe and sometimes, the dryer tells you it is done and it isn't.  Forget washing 1 set of sheets together with 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels and a face cloth, the sheets get so twitsted up they look like a rope.  Don't walk away from this washer, RUN!!
