Rated 5 out of 5 by Lady In Nevada from Excellent washer! I have always been a Whirlpool customer. I am 73 years old and Whirlpool has been my company for at least 50 of those years.Unfortunately, last year I decided to go with an LG washer. I thought I was doing the right thing. Right after I got it I was unhappy and proceeded to have them consider it a lemon. Six months later they finally did and I found the washer in this review. I will never use anything but Whirlpool appliances. I have learned my lesson. Stick with the best and forget all the bells and whistles the others have to offer. Excellent washer, Whirlpool! Keep up the great work, you rock! And thanks for staying loyal to your customers!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from fairly simple bought by 96 year old and only used for a few loads so far. says it shakes quite a bit. seems the tubmoves around really easily . will watch it when she washes next loads. It is fairly simple but will takesome time for her to get use to it. Don't like the feature that if lid is left open for 10 min while in the wash cycle it will drain the water.... if she needs to stop and go to the washroom or answer the phone 10 minutes is a very short time and she will lose her water soap and be confused as to what to do now. I don't understand the need for this feature. Anyway as of now it has not been used enough to make any valuable comments

Rated 1 out of 5 by Wash It Out from Unhappy My former washer was 15 years old and ten times quieter than the new whirlpool. It is VERY LOUD, even when I close the laundry room door. My husband hates it. Also, I can NEVER just start the washer and walk away and come back when it's finished. It SHAKES TERRIBLY in the rinse and the final spin cycle. I wanted the store where I purchased it to come out and look at it (the very first time I did the wash.) They informed me that it was normal. I carefully place the clothes in so that I think the weight is balanced out and it still shakes the entire house. IT'S REALLY BAD>

Rated 4 out of 5 by Urban Hillbilly from Nice to get back down to the basics! I've owned a front loading washer with all of the bells and whistles for the last 5 years and never realized until now how much "WATER" and an "AGITATOR" makes a difference in how clean your clothes can get. When the cadillac of washers I had stopped working it was time to get a new one. I didn't feel it was worth paying top dollar for a new washer to last just another 5 years, so I decided to go back to the basics and try my luck there. So far so great. It's louder than the top of the line counterpart, but it also does it's job better. I have yet to get a water bill, so we'll see. 4 stars just because it makes itself known throughout the house!

Rated 5 out of 5 by The Kat from Fantastic Washer! We bought this washer a couple of weeks ago and are totally happy we did. It does a great job washing the clothes. The machine is the perfect size for our laundry closet. The selection of water temperatures and cycles are perfect. The spin cycle has a different speed depending on the wash cycle you choose. Since we do not have a dryer and hang things up on normal wash it gets things almost dry. It also is very quiet which was a nice surprise. It has a very nice sleek design so not only does it work good it looks nice as well. Definitely can't say enough good things about this washer and am very happy we purchased it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Wouldn't buy another one! TOO NOISY!!! I would have loved to give this back to you until I read the book that came with the machine. I video'd it running and my friends said things like "it sounded like a dying goose," "something is very wrong, something's loose", "they don't make things like they used to, "I have one exactly like it. I hate it too!" "What, that's NEW??? EEK!" Replaces an ancient Whirlpool that died! Why isn't Whirlpool in the choices of replaced washing machines? Every appliance maker advertises how QUIET their appliances are. PLEASE!!! This is not an advance, this is 20 steps backward. My mother's old wringer machine didn't make this much noise! Noise is the trump that ruins this machine for me. Sorry!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Shop from Not the greatest... The control panel failed on the 1st WTW4616FW replacement.Intermittently, the start button would not work. We were told the washer was computing the weight (which was explained could take up to 4-minutes to figure out) of the load prior to adding water, but that was not the case. We were forced to unplug the washer, wait a minute, plug it back in and hope it "reset." This did not always work.After, a few calls to the retailer, the control board was replaced. That did not work and the washer was replaced. The 2nd replacement, has only done this once on the last 30-days.We thought is was our power/outlet, but that was checked and working correctly.I would not recommend this model. The load weighing process is not right.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ziggy from Does not handle low water pressure well After a lifetime of using Whirlpool washers and Kenmore variations this model is a great disappointment! We have low water pressure and the machine will begin filling. After about 7 minutes it aborts the fill cycle and goes to the wash cycle and PUMPS OUT the water (and the soap) then hangs in "Wash" mode until we cancel the cycle and restart the entire process! Sometimes the restart will allow the fill cycle an extended time and the wash will complete. Other times it may require several cancel/restarts to finish the process. I would think that in this day and age of micro controllers that this problem could be handled more gracefully and without "operator intervention". You could do better.

Rated 1 out of 5 by RobertE100 from Does not clean aI bought this a year and a half ago for a rental property. I finally had an occasion to wash my own laundry in it. The wash I did, did not clean. Stains that I am accustomed to being removed were not. I thought it was an anomaly so waited and did another wash a few weeks later. It did not clean either. I have never had a problem with stain removal. Whirlpool did send a service tech out to have a look at it. He said it was working as designed. I have watched an entire cycle trying to figure out how to make it work better. I have tried wetting clothes to make the load heavier so it adds more water. I am ready to junk it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from My washer is less than three years old My washer is now inoperable due to a worn out bearing. This according to the repairman is going to be a major repair. What to do?
