Cleans Great, IF You Can Stand The Floor Show
Started Sep 25, 2006
Strengths: Low water use, cleans well, most of cycle is quiet.
Weaknesses: Spin cycles are a nightmare of noise and movement.
Don't be too impressed by Whirlpool's claim that this unit was an improved suspension system that keeps it quiet and reduces vibration. When it starts to spin, it turns from a placid, energy-saving washer, into a monster. It shakes and vibrates, as does the floor and anything nearby. It might be okay on a concrete basement floor, but if you have a first-floor laundry, even one with a well-supported floor as we do, it's another matter. Don't expect help from your retailer or Whirlpool; they'll just tell you that "well, front load machines tend to do that".
