Love the temperature levels, the sensor options for water level and the multiple cycle options.

Quiet and efficient washer. Different cycles and water levels. Easy to use.

This washer replaced my very old one. We bought this one based on the price and it had good reviews. The first time using it, I thought something was wrong. It seemed loud and was very easy to go out of balance. The washer will try to fix itself but after a few failed attempts it will just stop and the clothes are still wet. The lid lock is such a pain to work with. It will not unlock until it stops moving completely. You think the load is finished, but you have to wait for it to unlock. If the washer gets confused, you will need to unplug the machine to get the lid to unlock. Once it started making a grinding noise we called it in for service. Whirlpool was great at servicing it. The first visit he replaced some of the moving parts. It didn’t work, so he came back to replace the spindle. After a month a bolt came loose and it started making noise again. Service came out and this time replaced every moving part, which seemed to finally fix the grinding noise. We don’t get as many out of balance loads now. The washer finally seems to work as it was designed. However, I’m going to think twice about buying a low end model in the future.

My only dislike is that it is very loud. It makes a clicking noise that sounds like something is breaking until you get used to it.
Luiskings –
I got this item to replace a old and very nice working machine, but, we are not happy with the way works because it takes water in automatically and works with a small amount of water and clothes get stains from the detergent.
consumer –
My mother bought this about 6 months ago and it bangs all over the place and loud too. Sounds like its going to explode. The warranty and service is also pitiful. They never were able to fix it and you can never get anyone at Whirlpool to take responsibility. Will never buy anything Whirlpool ever again. Buyer beware.

I had to replace my $1k+ “fancy” Samsung washer and I had it for less than 5 years… This new washer is wonderful. It simply washes my clothes without any high tech hassle. Is it loud? Yeah, but not as loud as the Samsung. It washes clothes less than an hour. If you’re looking for a washer that washes clothes… something simple, affordable, and reliable, this is the washer for you!

Washer is performing ok. For the brand I expected better performance
brooklyn –
It’s a good washing machine. It’s very quiet but the only downfall is that it takes too long to wash.
jkerr7 –
We really like the dryer so far, the only issue we are having is:
When you pull up the lint trap at the top of the machine. Half the lint falls back down the hole. This has happened every time I have tried to empty the trap. Now I’m worried it will build up and catch fire.
That is the only issue we’ve had with it. It dries great.
Lidab –
Like the large load option as well as the low load option and the quick wash.
Angela –
I love my new washer. It huge and spacious. There are a lot of different speeds
Tinkerbell1 –
I am happy with my new washing machine . It works great
Jackso92 –
I bought this washer abt 3 months ago. The washer does not fill all the way. I got over that. Now it does not drain or spin right. This is my first time making a huge purchase and this experience has been awful.
Bubba –
Great choice great price. Very dependable. Easy to use even for children
Annjo –
The model looks old but works perfect . So far great experience
Josh –
This washer cleans much better than our old one at nearly half the price plus it’s simple enough that I can use it when my wife usually did most of the laundry!
Runnerfan –

Joystar –
It’s a right decision purchasing the product and works great as expected.
castle –
My first new washer in many years. The auto sensing feature is amazing.
Theotherrickjames –
I’ve had this unit for about a month. The best feature that I use the most is the quick wash cycle. Saves me a lot of time between work.
Norilda –
One of the bet washers I have ever had.It’s a great purchase and it still looks like new.
Beau707 –
These washer and dryers are the best for the money they work better than most modern units.
Randini –
I had a front load previous to this unit. The top load is not as good, but for the price this unit works well.
Vero –
No complaints after months of use. Large capacity. Afordable and never failed to get the job done. Best Buy’s install was easy and quick too. Worth the little bit of extra $
Lsbomar –
My clothes used to be dirty, no one wanted to hang out. Now I don’t have dirty clothes.
carlang29 –
Have been using it about 5 months. The only real problem is more an annoyance. When filling with water and auto sensing is chosen, it clicks over and over. I assume it is detecting the water level to the clothes. If you do not chose auto sensing, I think it does not click click click.
Marg –
Nice washer for a good price. Has the agitator which is a plus. Only downside is that it is kind of loud
Ziggy –
I so happy to have got this washer. I had a front load and it went out and now I got this one and it works so much better.
NOSOCIALMEDIAFORME –
Didn’t want a clothes washer with every bell and whistle. The model of Whirlpool is exactly what we wanted. Thanks!
Washer –
The unit is working fine and we have not experienced any issues with it.
Pincho –
This washer is easy to use. It has many optional automatic features which is very good for busy home makers.
Rhonda –
Very quiet and easy to use. Would recommend this product. Very reasonable.
Maxh –
It works as advertise. It’s nice and small. I bought it open-box for about 300.
Caligirl4ever –
I recently needed a washer/dryer set for my new house. I was considering a front loading set but quickly realized it was a bit over my budget. I decided to give this set a try and I couldn’t be more happy with its performance…and it was within my budget.
Charri –

SwetPea70 –
SO MUCH NOISE!! Not quiet at all. Hard to return appliances. We had it looked at. The repair guy said it’s just noisy.
BIGboy –
Perfectly filled the need. No complaints from tenants.
29Montreal –
Great washer. very easy to use and is very quiet. holds a lot of clothes.
Jrad12 –
Bought at the outlet so the price was amazing. I’ve been very happy with it!
Unsatisfactory –
Worst washer ever. Not even two years old and second time I’ve had to call for repairs. Washer doesn’t drain, agitator gets all kinds of things caught in it. I’ve used half loads, every cycle, different levels. I use a cleaning solution to keep suds clear. Last repair cost me $300. I’m really angry. Have never had a laundry problem in my lifetime. Don’t buy it!
tammy –
Horrible washer. Clothes are never clean and it lasted less than 2 years. total waste of money.
DeeNSC –
I purchased this washer in June, 2019 and have no big complaints about its performance. It has a large wash bin with agitator, which I like. Also, has a vast variety of HE settings that allow you to save on time and water. My only issue is that if you put any type heavier item in you have to do it as bulky sheets. I mean if you have plush towels you have wash them as bulky sheets. If you put a neck pillow in with two sets of sheets ( no comforter or anything like that) bulky sheets, or the machine will not complete the cycle. You have to cancel the process or it will run continuously, because it will not go into a spin. So you have to cancel and start over in bulky sheet setting. Washer can run for hours this way if you’re watching it.
Trash –
The control board goes out on this machine after only not quite two years of owning. I brought this in 2019
Sheli –
Love my new washer! I received it as replacement through my home warranty company. I haven’t used it alot yet, but I have tried all different loads. Blankets, delicates, permanent press, and towels. All came out great! Nice and clean and didn’t take forever in the dryer (that was the problem with my old whirlpool, it wasn’t spinning well and not at all with heavy loads. My mom’s washer just went out today and I recommended this model to her.
WayneT –
This is the worse washer I’ve ever had. I am 57 and have had a lot of washers. When Best Buy delivered they put a scratch on it. This is the only washer I’ve had for less than 3 years that had an important part break on it that cost more than buying a new washer. I followed all the instructions, barely put any clothes in it and had a hard time getting the laundry out of it.
Patty –
Bought this washer in 2019. By 2023 it needed a new control board and 4 months later it now needs to be re-wired and a new motor. This is a piece of junk. I don’t recommend buying this. I have to now buy a new washer.
