I have owned the Whirlpool Cabrio for a year. It is the worst washer I have ever purchased.  I don't even want to guess how many clothes this washer has destroyed. Anything with elastic is trash when you pull it from the washer. Towels are wrung so tightly that the edges come unsewed. I can't say that anything gets cleaner than they ever did with other washers I have owned. I will never recommend this washer to anyone!!
