Whirlpool Washing Machine Reviews

We bought a Whirlpool topload washer Model WTW5540SQ0 in August of '06.  I have hated it from the day we got it home.  It's loud.  It leaves the clothes half wet after it spins.  You can respin the clothes & it doesn't help a bit.  The clothes never come as clean as my old washer got them.

My previous washer & dryer were Kitchenaids.  They lasted 20 years!  They were quiet. They spun the clothes out really dry, especially towels.  In fact, I'd take the tired Kitchenaid back if I could get it.  Even barely working it was better than the Whirlpool

I heard that Kitchenaid washers were made...

I had to get a new dryer and we got a whirlpool and I love it I have had it for 2 years now and it is still going stronge I don't have a fancy one either just a normal dryer and I love it.with 3 kids a husband and my brother in law i'm doing laundry everyday and I never hang my clothes out my husband don't like it but any ways it gets used every day more than once a day.So if your in the market for a new dryer check out whirlpool mine is awsome.

Recently my washing machine of 11 years went out (two weeks ago) It was a Sears Kenmore (or to those who know, a Whirlpool). So I found myself out shopping for a new washing machine at our local Sear Hardware and Appliance store. I like the Kenmaore brand since they are made for Sears by Whirlpool and my first one lasted 13 years and I had now had the  one I was replacing for 11 years you might say I have had very good luck with this brand. I always purchase the heavy duty model, so that I can wash whatever I want to. I am a firm believer that if I have my own washer I should not have to go to...

I really love the capacity of this washing machine. However, it has a few bugs that need to be worked out. The first one is that the ultra concentrated fabric softeners tend to clog up in the soap tray and then have to washed out. The second problem I have constantly is that we have to take the front of the machine to unscrew and empty out a add on filter that is in the drain hose. I realize this was invented to protect your septic and sewer from coins and other things that slip past the empting of the pockets. However, we have to clean this out about twice a month and since it clogs up we also...

I would not buy anything but Whirlpool washers.  They have a very large drum, and they are direct drive, there are no belts to break.  They are very reliable and can handle large loads, even King size comforters.  Sometimes Sears Kenmore washers are the same as Whirlpool.  Compare prices and features throughout their lines to establish the best value for you.  Retail Appliances are sold at relatively low margins,  but if you ask for a discount, you will probably get one.

Six-year-old Duet has had handle break off in my hand.  Luckily, I have figured out how to buy part locally and husband could fix this one.  (PS - The replacement handle, $25, has a lifetime guarantee.  Don't know why they didn't put the lifetime handle on the first time.)  Often the Duet seems to not fully spin the water out.  Friday night it broke completely.  I had to pull sheets out and wring out by hand - took an hour to dry.  Had to bail the entire washer out Saturday as I cannot get the cycle to reboot and drain.  Will have to wait three to four days for repair, I imagine.  Also,...

My Whirlpool Duet - top of the line (retailed 3 years ago at about $1,700 CAD - front loader makes laundry a very slow process. Oversudsing is a real problem and I only use HE detergent and use about half of the recommended amount. A load showing 40 minutes actually takes longer; when on the final spin the timer can sit on 1 minute for a very long time. Even when the cycle finally stops by itself you can sometimes hear water sloshing when you move the drum.

The seal is a problem to clean; the machine can quickly smell musty if any wet load sits too long. I try to wipe under the seal and dry...

I have a whirlpool front loading washing maching for 5 years now. I just love the washing machine. You use less soap than a top loader and it does all the figuring for you. You don't have to pick large or small load it does it all. The only problem is that when the maching spins it shakes everything. I even have the pedestal for it. I could not survive without it.
