Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

PopcornLover 8/5/2018

Purchased washer about two months ago and really like it! Replaced an old HE washer, and this one is larger, quieter and has many more features, like the FanFresh and sanitize options. Would definitely recommend!

Mold! Mold! and more Mold!

Jessie12345 6/3/2018

We purchased this washer less than a year ago and while it does have some awesome features (delayed wash, pre-soak, and FanFresh) the mold is absolutely disgusting. We have used the recommended affresh products faithfully, but despite doing so continue to have an awful issue with mold inside the soap chamber.

GrandmaLamb 4/3/2018

I bought this to replace my 11-year-old Maytag washer. I actually preferred my older one but this is working well. I like some of the new features on this one, but it is noisier than my older one.

Does it all

Mrs Nics89 2/19/2018

I've had front load washers for many years because it practically spins clothes dry. I feel it also causes less friction on fabric than traditional agitator. I chose this model bc it has the quick wash feature. This model is .5 larger than my previous one. Ability to self-clean once a month.

Pine Creek Lady 2/5/2018

I've had the washer about 6 weeks. It does a great job cleaning. I like that it doesn't tie my clothes together when it spins. I like the sanitize cycle.

Loud filling and pumping noise

Jstrait1234 11/27/2017

After our 15 year old Duet Washer died, I naturally ran out a Whirlpool replacement. I picked up a WFW90HEFW last Wednesday, and I have been very disappointed. When both filling and pumping the washer sounds like a jet engine. I understand this is the standard sound. Other than the noise the washer seems good, but it's just too loud.

Amull 5/24/2017

We bought our new washer not even a month ago and we've already had water leak out the front door 3 times. Other than that it runs wonderfully. I don't think it's loud like some of the other reviews, but I did have the leaks. Seems to be my luck with appliances.

Exceeded Expectations by a mile! I tend to go all out and buy appliances with the latest technology. I also tend to buy certain brands. In this case I did neither and I could not be happier. Washes perfectly, quiet and washes faster than the Maytag I replaced.

Larger Loads Saves Me Time

1/16/2017

I've had this Whirlpool washer for a month. It's drum capacity is larger than any other washer I've owned. Running larger loads reduces the number of loads I do each week. Between saving time with the larger washer, the dryer also handles larger loads. Between the two, my time in the laundry room is cut by at least a third.
