srjr0818 says "Clothes are becoming very rough" about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

I have a front load whirlpool washer. Because of using less water, all my clothes, T-shirts, towels, socks and shits are becoming very rough. I am spending more money on special (HE) detergents, liquid softners in addition to washing the clothes twice (once with the detergent and next without detergent) to make the fabrics become softer. What the use of saving money on water when spending on the other products. Unfortunately, it is destroying my good towels and soft sheets! I was very happy with my old top load washer and am not happy with the front load washers at all!

InsultedConsumer says "I hate whirlpools front loading washers because they sour easil!" about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

InsultedConsumer — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:54:14 GMT

Every time I put on sour clothes I say "I hate this Whirlpool Duet front loading machine." Who was stupid enough to think a washing machine that regularly sours is a good idea? Every time I use my machine I have to check for the sour smell. Often I have to waste an extra hour before I start washing to run the clean cycle to rid my clothes of the sour smell. When I had children at home I washed everyday and probably would not have this problem. These days I often wait 3 days to wash clothes and invariably have to run the clean cycle. If I don't, I put on sour clothes for a week.

Whirlpool sells have dropped 37% and I totally understand why.

I will never buy another Whirlpool product!!

hdsSkipper says "Do Not buy this. Poor front seal design High $ repair." about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

Whirlpool duet front loadwasher

A most common failure mode (just out of warranty of course) is a tear on the bottom of the front panel seal which will cause water leaks down the front of the machine,The parts to repair are around $100 and service labor estimates around $200.If you still just have to have it get an extended warranty for as many years as possible!

kariannbradshaw says "an amazing washing machine!! " about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

kariannbradshaw — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:02:22 GMT

This washing machine is amazing! not only is it nearly silent, it has large capacity and uses near to no laundry detergent. I use approximately 2 tablespoons of liquid detergrnt per load and the clothes come out smelling fresh and very clean. It's very quite as long as you don't overload it then the super fast spin cycle can cause some noise. But it's quiet, uses very little detergent, MUCH less water than a top loader and spins super fast....

feeneyk2 says "AWESOME" about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

feeneyk2 — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:27:49 GMT

The energy and water efficiency of this machine is great! I can wash double the loads in half the time. It really saves me on time and it is so much quieter than our old machine. Love it!...

Chubbydeer says "Looks great, works great, will have to see about durability" about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

Chubbydeer — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:55:14 GMT

We bought this machine because consumer reports said whirlpool has the least number of break downs for front loading washers

The amount of space is just about right for a 2-3 person household. It gets items really really clean. It's fast, quiet, water efficient etc =P I am not sure about durability as we have just gotten two months ago. Will update if anything goes wrong.

If you are buying the set for an apartment, be sure to measure the amount of space instead of just listening to the salesman who will say this is a good unit for apartments because it is smaller than the Whirlpool duet (non sport). Also take into account the amount of space needed for the exhaust pipe for the dryer and that you can open the detergent dish thinging if it is behind a closet door.

A lot of the reviews I read encourage people to buy an extended warrantee on this. If you want to save money, I'd suggest buying a warrantee on the washer but not the dryer. Another thing I found out from the reviews......

I love the front loading Whirlpool WFW800T Washer. It handles an incledibly large load of laundry and is so efficient that I don't have to worry about my water/energy costs.

deputy says "It cleans even filthy clothes easily and is simple to use." about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

deputy — Fri, 30 May 2008 14:16:36 GMT

Good..easy to use, Excellent cleaning of very soiled clothing and I have a lot of that. Grandchildren that manage to get absolutely flithy and ground in dirty every day. Large sized loads get clean, also. I would like the ability to soak things but can work around that. All in all, I am very satisified and happy with this washer.

dawnmartinello says "Watch out! " about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

dawnmartinello — Sat, 24 May 2008 10:35:55 GMT

We purchased this washer nearly 5 years ago. I thought we were doing ourselves right by purchasing new and a quality brand name.

We have had nothing but problems with this machine! We had two repairs necessary within 2 years. The first was covered by the warranty, the second cost over $100.

The machine leaks occassionally with no apparant reason, the cycle often doesn't complete no matter how careful I am to not overload it.

I'm actually waiting for the day that it officially DIES so that we can toss it out and get something reliable.

Whatever happened to those days where things were made to last more than a couple of years!!???

mom24girls says "Great front load washer" about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

mom24girls — Tue, 20 May 2008 22:49:01 GMT

I purchesed this Whirlpool washer about a year ago and have been very pleased. It was reasonably priced for a front loade washer, and it works very well. My favorite feature is the whitest whites cycle. My clothes come out brilliantly clean.

I have two complaints. With a front load washer there is no soak cycle, and I have a toddler and pre-schooler who get LOTS of stains on their clothes. Some of the stains need soaking before they get washed, or the do not come out. Also, if you want to add something to the load after the cycle has stated you can hit the cancel button to open the door, but then you have to start the cycle all over again. I wish it would just pick up where it left off.

hannaqueen says "This washer is SOOO quiet!" about Whirlpool Washer - WFW8400T

hannaqueen — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:36:18 GMT

This washing machine is so nice. Not only is it saving me on my water and electric bill, but its super quiet. So I can wash laundry and my kids will not wake up from their nap. Which is important to me because my laundry room is right next door to my 3 yr old twins room. You dont even hear it unless you are in the room with it, and even then its water swishing around. Super easy to use, and all over A++++++....
