I purchased a Estates by Whirlpool Washer approximately 9 years ago. It is a Heavy duty, super capacity washer that has given me terrific satisfaction over the past 9 years. The capacity of the tub holds more washables than the average washer. It has 5 Load sizes from Extra-Small to Super. Also, it has 4 Temperature Settings and has a End of Cycle signal that I don't use because it is extremely loud. I'm thankful for the Hand Washable Cycle that this washer have, one of the main reasons for my purchase of this model washer. This Heavy Duty, Super Capacity, 10-cycle, 5 speed washer does a great job at cleaning my laundry and I would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a new washer, especially people with large families that has bundles of laundry to keep clean. This model washer was inexpensive and I got it at a great price that was very affordable. Energy Efficiency It is a Energy Efficiency Washer. Cleaning Time The average cycle time is about 20 minutes, which is good time for me. Performance It cleans, exceptionally, well. Ease of Use Anyone should be able to operate this model washer. Design It has the typical Top Load features with the Load sizes, Settings, etc. visible. Durability It has lasted 9+ years.

I love this washer so much. Haven't had any problems with it. My HE would stop working every 3 months. Also the detergent is cheaper now. The only think I miss from my old washer was the size. However I will deal that that to not have the head aches the old one gave me. Cleaning Time We have 2 families using this washer to do laundry and one of the families uses cloth diapers. So time cleaning the clothes would be a huge issue if this would be take to long. Performance My clothes come out clean even with using a cheaper detergent. We have soft water and that helps. Ease of Use Set the size, add clothes, and detergent/softner and start. Can't get any easier. It's nice having something so simple that even my 9 year old wants to help w laundry. This washer make washing Cloth diapers easy because I can check the water to clothes/cloth diaper ratio. To make sure that there isn't to much or too little water. Durability Like I said 2 families using this and it is still going strong and not skipping any beats. The weekends it runs non stop and a lot through the week.

I bought a new one two weeks ago, August 2011, leaks all over, from the top and bottom,makes grinding loud noises that I hear on the second floor of my house. I fnally made the store - PC Richard- to replace it - same problem. Don't we produce anything without a defect? I find it as one of the reasons that our country is in such a bad shape. So be careful buying this new washers you might be running to your machine every time it starts the rinse cycle and keep maping the floor.

The Estate brand washing machine works great. I have used it for a few months now and love it. It washes full size comforters with no problem. Having 3 kids i use it every day and have had absolutely no problems with it at all. It will wash a full load with ease and still gets the clothes clean. Which really helps with my kids playing football. We love this washing machine and i honestly dont think that you can get many washing machines that would work this well for the price. This is the first washing machine that i have had that has lasted for months with the amount of loads that i have to wash every day. The quality is great, the price is great and the fact that it can withstand everything that i throw in it is amazing. I would recommend this washing machine to everyone i know especially if you have children in your house. I have been through a few different washing machines and after this one i think i have finally found the brand that i will stick with.
