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.

DISPOSABLE! EXPECT TO HAVE YOUR WASHER FAIL!!

not a future whirpool cus 8/1/2019

Purchased in 2014 paid a premium for what was supposed to be a premium product. With less than normal use now today 8/1/2019 the washer completely fails. I called a service repairman to come and assess the washer and have been told that it needs over $600 of repairs. He recommended I call Whirlpool and ask them to send the parts and gave me a detailed list of the parts. I called Whirlpool spent 1hour and 8 minutes politely asking for them to send me parts so I can have my washer repaired. So according to them (3 tiers of representatives) my washer and dryer only has a 1 year warranty and whirlpool can not help me in any way. After some research I have come to the conclusion that this is a common problem across their line of top load washers. I do not believe the whirlpool company is making a quality washing machine anymore and definitely does not stand behind their product. I would recommend a class action lawsuit to anyone who may read my review. I at least had the for site to record my conversation with the representatives and plan on moving forward with legal action. No company should charge for a premium product and not stand behind it. It is sad all of this is just so sad.

great washer for short term use.

mzluna 4/18/2019

i love this washer. but unfortunately the cover area is not made very sturdy. it broke at the 3 year mark and trying to get lowe's to repair it was awful. 1.5 more years, and im still having a hard time trying to get someone to repair it because of the area that i live. been trying to research to see if im able to repair it myself and it may cost (with the placement lid since the back piece is not offered separately) almost as much as a new washer. (we bought this for a deal at lowes it was about 450). make the cover area sturdier! :(

DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU ARE 6 FEET TALL

Allendale 2/12/2019

The washer is WAY too tall- I am 5/3" and I cannot reach the clothes at the bottom. This is maybe also why the clothes are not getting clean enough, and they do not spin well- come out quite damp. I want to return this item. The dryer is better but the lint filter is so annoying! Why make it so you have to spend 5 minutes taking it out and unfolding it? Terrible design here.

Very dissapointed

LaDeana 2/6/2019

Bought the whirlpool cabria 6 years ago very gently used with just my husband and I, going to cost me $700.00 for repairs on a 6 year old machine. I will never suggest this washer to anyone looking. Very frustrating I purchased thinking I could get service from the hardware store I purchased from and I could not get him to come out to even look atlas to call someone else after 3 months of being without a washer only to be told it was going to cost 700.00 for repairs never again

We have owned this washer for five years and this is the third repair. I've spent more on repairs than the unit cost.

Hate the washer!!

Kssrn6 1/17/2019

We bought the set 4 months ago. The settings are ridiculous. I had a bad stain that I wanted to soak. So I choice deep water cycle, which what I think is a great depth of water, no, just 4 at the most. With this same cycle, I pretreated the stain with a product, add a dry product and scrubbed it in the stain. Let it sit for several minutes and washed the item. I pulled the item out, after an hour and 3 minutes, only to find the dry pre-stain treatment still on the stain. I have hated this washer since it was brought in our home. The cycles are so ridiculously long, and dryer's cycles are just as long, as I imagine it's a man designing such equipment, because most women don't have hours for a washers settings to complete. Did I mention I hate this washer!

Great unit, just doesn't last long.

Busyone5 1/17/2019

My wife has really liked the features of this washer. We purchased it with matching dryer in mid 2014. It has started sounding like a freight train, so we called a service company. They said bad bearing in tub assembly, and cheaper to buy new then to repair. Only a 4 yr old unit??? New is $700.00 I had a Kenmore washer that lasted 22 yrs before bearing went bad. I am VERY disappointed in whirlpool.

Ski2813 1/10/2019

Bought washer and dryer combo 10/2013. Dryer has held up for now. The washer started leaking a coulpe weeks ago. Just had appliance tech to check washer. Said shft kit might repair leak but would prob leak again and said the tub might need replaced. Also said there are several leaks and that it had been leaking for a while and that it would be leas expensive to replace the washer than ro repair it. Very disappointed that now I will probably have to replace the washer.

Waste of money

frustrated18 12/20/2018

I purchased this washer (and the dryer) in 2014. I recently noticed it was leaking at the bottom of the tub, The repairman gave us a quote of $1100 to repair. It needs a new tub, motor, and stabilizer. Basically needs to be rebuilt. I cannot understand how a washer that is just shy of 4 years old, used under normal conditions can have this many problems, I will be notifying Whirlpool. I do not recommend this washing machine at all.

Maybe not the correct model for anyone.

Mrs.Fisher 12/20/2018

My husband and I bought this washer and dryer new in 2012. Several months ago, the washer sounded like a jet airplane while washing a load. The Tech said it was the bearing going. He tried to put a new bearing kit in it. It took away the loud noise, but then we were able to hear the clicking noise. He refunded us the price of the bearing kit, but told us it would be more expensive to replace the tub, than to buy new. It still worked for a couple of months, but is now out of commission! We are not very happy at all! I want my units to match, but will not buy another one of these.

Buyer Beware!Will update IF I get a reply.Waiting

KayB4 11/20/2018

I purchased this washer (and the dryer) 12-12-14. I recently began receiving error codes on the washer. The repairman just left us a quote of $1407 to repair. It needs a new tub, motor, and stabilizer. Basically needs to be rebuilt. I cannot understand how a washer that is just shy of 4 years old, used under normal conditions in a climate controlled space could have this many issues. (I submitted the above info along with the model and serial number, my contact info, etc to Whirlpool directly. Waiting for response.)

We purchased this machine few years ago and have replaced the control board, both pumps, and the stabilizer rods. About the only thing left is the frame that holds all the junk together.

leogirls1307 10/16/2018

I bought this machine about 3 1/2 years ago. and of course after the warranty I purchased expired the bearing goes out and causes more issues to where its now leaking under the machine. Repair cost is 600.00 parts 100.00 labor. I will just buy a new washer but definitely no a whirlpool. For what i paid for the platinum machine is should have lasted longer than that.

RichardR99 10/8/2018

I've had this unit for about three years. It continually shuts down in the middle of a cycle and will only restart when it wants to. It sounds like the bearings are shot in it because it is so loud I can hear it spinning outside. I will never buy another whirlpool product.

Horrible washing machine

JennaM85 9/18/2018

We bought the washer and dryer set 3 years ago. The washer always gets set off balance no matter what I do. Then the lid locked and I couldn't get it to unlock after the cycle! I ended up rewashing loads of clothes several times. With my family of 7, it was a headache!! We finally got a new washer, switched to maytag. Do not purchase this washer!!

Plastic pieces -3rd lid breaking again

Foster85 9/16/2018

Bought washer/dryer set 2010 - machine overall works fine. Problem is plastic side of glass lid. Cracked and breaks. We've replaced 3 times - could replace entire washer for what we've invested. Called whirlpool and they don't have a plan to remedy problem with metal edge or any other top. Should have given up 2 lids ago. It's cracked once again-same exact spot each time. Same problem as listed by others. This causes the lid to fall on your head when transferring clothes to dryer. Poor quality- no fix. Obviously getting a new lid doesn't work for long.

WORST purchase ever

Anderson16 9/2/2018

My husband and I purchased a matching set of the Whirlpool Cabrio platinum washer and dryer. We were beyond excited as the sales guy from the store assured us these were great and reliable. 6 months after owning them our bearings went out on our washer. A repair man came out and corrected the issue. Then 2 months later they went out again. Needless to say we've had the set for 3 years now and we've had our washer serviced 5 times and about a month ago the lock on the dryer door broke so we have to make sure everything is lined up perfectly when closing the door. Shortly after that our bearings have gone out yet again on our washer. In addition, we have to run our dryer twice to get our clothes dry (doesn't seem very energy efficient). All in all we have been very disappointed with this purchase and won't ever consider purchasing Whirlpool in the future. Sad we spent 2k on products that we will need to replace just 3 years later.

Terrible after only a few years!

JenSC 8/16/2018

I have had the Cabrini Platinum washer and dryer set for about 3 years. I would not recommend this set. As others have mentioned, the bearings go bad, as well as the lid hinge. Also, the water does not drain properly. Even with regular cleaning using the recommended Affresh tablets, as well as bleach periodically, there is a terrible smell that develops after far too few washings and I constantly have to clean mildew from the dispenser cups. I feel like our clothes no longer get fully cleaned.

Cabrio washer doesn't clean clothes well

Teresa Donohue 8/12/2018

I've had my Cabrio washer for about a year or two. I am not satisfied with the quality of how clean my clothes are getting. It doesn't even remove toothpaste from a T-shirt. I wish we had bought a regular washer with center agitator.

Never washed well

Jrandalexmom 8/9/2018

Bad enough that it never washed the clothes clean to begin with. And we had to have someone come out and fix the lid lock less than six months after we bought it. But now four years in and it's completely broken and we have to buy a new one. All we ever get is unbalanced load notifications and the repair man said the engine has gone which we already knew because it sounds like a small jet landing in our laundry room every time it goes into my the spin cycle.

Worst Washing Machine Ever

Tkimp 6/1/2018

I bought this set two years ago, it has never once washed a set of sheets or a blanket all the way through the cycle. I have to restart it numerous times and then I have to re run the load through the rinse and spin cycle several times before they are done. It is a horrible washing machine. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I am beyond upset....

Tina65 5/19/2018

My husband purchased the Cabrio platinum set for me from Rent a center, (our best option at the time). Two years in and of course not paid off yet and the water inlet valve went out. Rent a center picked it up to have it repaired and brought me an identical loaner. Three or four months later returned my original cabrio. Thirty minutes later they were returning the same loaner because my original was not repaired. Fast forward 7 months I was asked if I wanted to just keep the loaner because mine was not able to be repaired. Its been about a month since that conversation and NOW the lid lock is broken and I once again am unable to wash my clothes. This is utterly ridiculous. Rent a center is bringing yet another loaner because this loaner/replacement is nothing but garbage. What on earth happened to having pride in workmanship? It really bothers me. This was my very first ever matching washer/dryer. I'm ready to just buy me a used old fashioned agitator washer. I never had this many problems with those. This is nothing but a pain in my rear.......

Undersized Tub Bearing

RBJ253 5/13/2018

Have had this washer three years, washer in a retired two person household so no excessive usage. Overall, all aspects of this machine were excellent except for a bearing failure during spin cycle. Poorly engineered design,and i notice this is not the first post with this issue. This machine isn't worth the price to do this repair.Too bad since the overall experience of this washers cleaning ability and functions were great.

Junk plastic tub hub.

tubhub 4/17/2018

On 11/02/2013, I purchased this washer and matching dryer for my home from Lowes, for $989.10 the set was with tax $2.392.00, at first the washer and dryer set were working great no problems at all, then approximately a year later the lid hinge for the glass top went out, Lowes sent out a repair guy and in no time the part was changed and working like new again, 2 months later the hinge went out again, didn't bother calling the hinge needs to have a shield on it to keep the bleach dispenser from splashing bleach on the hinge, in 2017, the tub hub went out which is a plastic part under the agitator, new part was ordered and replaced, approximately 6 months later the tub hub went out again, the part was warrantied so I had it replaced again, today the tub hub went out again, the part was replaced again, washer working fine again, 3 tub hub assemblies replaced less than a year. I would recommend that whirlpool make this part out of some other material other than this plastic, seems to me that if this part were stainless steel to keep from rusting this washer would be a trouble. . So now I have a lifetime part replacement at the parts store. picked up the part and told them I would see them in a couple of months. Almost a thousand dollar machine and a 12 dollar part causing all this trouble. Geez whirlpool get someone else in your design office to use some common sense. I know plastic is used to make customers go out and buy a new washer for a cheap piece of plastic. I am considering replacing it with another brand.

Hate this thing. Like everyone says, expect repairs after about 3 years.

3 years old and out it goes!

Lisa 410 11/1/2017

Have enjoyed this machine up till now. As others have said bearings go out in 3 years! It's cheaper to replace than fix. Will not be replacing with a Cabrio though.

I love the Cabrio Platinum

9/2/2017

I've had my set a couple of years and no problems at all. I do a ton of laundry and have had no issues. They don't take exceedingly long, have plenty of options, and dog a great job without damaging anything. They aren't excessively noisy, either. Overall, I've been very happy.

Dirtier clothes after wash

P.T. 2/17/2017

I am sadly disappointed in this washer. There have been so many times over the last 3 years that I have had to re-wash my clothes because of what the washer leaves behind. I have been good about washing the tub out with vinegar at least once a month. For the past month I have washed every load with vinegar to no avail. I don't know if it is this particular washer or the H.E. feature that leaves clothes dirty.I really like the sleek design, color and clear lid. I am 5'5' and have a hard time getting out the clothes in the bottom after washing.This is our 3rd Whirlpool washer.

I was reluctant to get rid of my Maytags

2/6/2017

I bought a white Cabrio last year for my rental property and was not happy at all, however the planinum one in our new model home that came with the purchase seems much better. I am not happy that all the manufacturers have done away with the agitator. I don't think the new machines clean near as well and they tend to twist the clothes which wrinkles them greatly. This one does not seem as hard on my clothes, which I am thankful for. I actually brought my older Maytag products with me from CO so I could have a good washer. It is still in the garage, it's only been a month so the jury is still out.

BEARINGS WEAR OUT IN 3 YEARS

Disappointed in Cabrio 9/6/2016

I bought this washer as a set with a dryer - I was very pleased with the washer until the bearings go out. I understand that this is common for the Cabrio line. Very disappointed as most of my whirlpool washers have lasted 10+ years, sadly this one lasted only 3 years. Paid twice as much for the Cabrio. I will not be going with another Cabrio.

This thing is LOUD!

ScottQ 4/29/2016

For those of you who like this machine, wait a couple of years. The bearing will go out and it sounds like a military jet is taking off from our laundry room. We have started to plan laundry loads for times we out of the house. We have 2 teenagers in the house who aren't as organized as we would like. They will wear dirty clothes to school instead of being kept awake by this thing. I called Whirlpool and they couldn't find the Model # in their records. If I can save just one person from buying this piece of junk,( I tried using a different word but Whirlpool won't let me) , I will have done something good.

WORST washer ever!!!!

4/2/2016

I purchased the washer and dryer , the worst washer ever, the clothes seriously look dirtier after coming out of the washer than before they went in. Dark clothes no matter how much liquid soap you put in , look like they have dried soap all over them. I end up hand washing most of my clothes! Wish i would have taken this washer back!

It LOOKS snazzy BUT...

2/20/2016

Purchased the set in July of 2014. It has performed just fine except it doesn't handle cotton rugs so well. It will start walking and the stop with the UL (uneven load signal). If you happen to hear it, fine but if you don't, well, you almost have to start from scratch on that load....Plus the washer is so big that now I'm wishing I'd gotten a front loader instead. It's getting harder to reach all the way to the bottom to retrieve clothes.

Cabrio sucks

disillusioned one 2/19/2016

I bought the Cabrio WTW7000Dw Oct. 17, 2015. It is with out a doubt the worst washer I have ever owned. The clothes, etc. get tangled and wrinkled even tho I use all of the suggestions and directions in the book. If I could afford it, I would get rid of this today!~

Should have stuck with LG

1/11/2016

We moved 3 months ago and purchased all new appliances and I just had to have the pretty gray Whirlpool set----big mistake. There is only 2 of us, so I know it is not getting over loaded. I have white detergent stains on my dark clothes and half of the time all it does is go in a circle, when it does agitate it is such a weak agitation that the top clothes never get pulled under. As far as washing your bedding, forget it. Load just keeps going off balance. I sure wish I would have bought LG again and if I could afford to just go get one, I would and just take the Cabrio to the recycle plant. And it is not as if this was a cheap washer. Very disappointed.

Worst washer I've ever owned

12/28/2015

I bought this washer thinking that I would like the top loader version of HE instead of front loader versions because of long wash times. Still has the long wash times and my clothes are never clean. Any mildew on towels and it will not come out. I've changed detergents; used less or more; all to no avail. Finally put them in sink and soaked for over an hour and then rinsed and dried -- now they do not smell. If I wanted to wash by hand I would have bought a wash board. Also have issues with residue on dark items--does not change if I only use minimal soap. Needless to say I HATE THIS WASHER and would never recommend it. Bulky items also cause it to get off balance since they end up on top of the "agitator". Trying to get my money back.

DOES NOT CLEAN

11/23/2015

We live in Findlay Ohio home of Whirlpool washer plant. We have never bought any appliance except for Whirlpoolfor our Findlay and Florida homes. In fact we live in the house of the first plant manager.However, this washer is a big mistake. I read the reviews and don't know what washer they are using.Just two of us so light loads. Some items don't even get wet, not to mention clean. Spinning does not clean. Use soak cycle still not clean. Will replace in January. May not be a Whirlpool product for the first time in 40 years.

Whirlpool Cabriolet Platinum 4.8 cu ft

ALSmith 9/16/2015

This had by far surpassed any expectations that I had for this washing machine. The settings are perfect for my every day needs. I love that it has a towel setting and a sheet setting where it will use extra hot water to clean these items thoroughly. Over all I would highly recommend this product to any of my friends or family members looking to upgrade.

horrible machine

Frustrated in LA 8/26/2015

Purchased machine in July 2014. Issues we are having:•whites don't come clean.•towels don't come clean, smell "moldy" or doesn't get all the "bodywash" soap out the wash cloths.•sheer curtains didn't come clean either.•darks when removed from the washer have spots on them, a rewash is needed.I read the manual before 1 load was even done. We use HE soap & softener, and loads are not large or unbalanced. Also Affresh tabs are used monthly.I wrote to whirlpool about my issues and included the above paragraph, stating also its just me and my wife. So loads are never large. Their response was to check what I had already listed. Using HE soap, no oversized loads, & the Affresh tabs. Email also read to schedule service if this doesn't solve the issue. LOL, sorry I'm not spending anymore $$$ on this machine, I shouldn't have to for what we paid for it. I'm done with whirlpool....obviously they don't care

So far so good

8/3/2015

I was hesistant at first with buying an HE washer, but I have been very pleased so far. I recommend reading the the pamphlet so that you understand the specifics of each cycle, but it does a great job cleaning (it has even removed paint from my husband's work shirts). The washer can also fit a lot of clothes/sheets, and it has reduced the number of loads I do weekly. Lastly, the spin cycle is very good at removing water from the clothes and cuts the time to dry clothes in half.The only downfalls is the long wash times (can take up to 90 minutes if you add a soak and extra rinse cycle), and the bottom scrubbing plate is already knicked up (likely from jeans, but there is not any rusting), and I wish the detergent tray was easy to remove so that I could give it a good cleaning/rinsing. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I do recommend purchasing the affresh tablets to "clean" the washer every three months or so to reduce any mildew smells that are associated with HE washers, and we always leave the lid up when it's not in use.

Simply Wonderful!!!

Lady Ice 4/27/2015

My first Whirlpool washer survived me & my husband's military careers, 4 kids, 2 grandkids and over 15 years of service; I finally decided it was time for a new one. Whirlpool does not dissappoint! I bought this one in January 2015 and now this one is battling my dog's favorite blankets as well as my graddaughters Girl Scout camping trips. I am very satisfied!
