Features

Adaptive Wash Technology with Active Bloom™ Wash Action

Our washers deliver better clean and better care¹. Keep clothes looking newer longer² all thanks to Adaptive Wash technology with Active Bloom™ wash action. It works to thoroughly saturate clothes with water and detergent by using advanced wash actions. This helps clothes wash against one another for gentler fabric care. Plus, this feature senses each load type and then adapts water levels and wash actions, based on the type of load being washed.

Low-Profile Impeller

Our low-profile impeller helps give clothes a thorough yet gentle clean. Its new design gives clothes more room to move, so they clean against one another. The seamless surface and unique vanes also help drive clothes from the outer rim to the center, where the deepest cleaning happens.

Presoak Option

Enjoy better cleaning with the Presoak option that lets you skip soaking outside of the washer. Extra time is added in the washer before the wash cycle, which starts automatically when the option is complete.

Deep Water Wash Cycle

Take on stains with the Deep Water Wash cycle. It adds more water to help break down stains and improves the ability to rinse away soils.

Additional Features

Direct Drive Motor

The Direct drive motor is what helps our transmission system handle larger-capacity loads. It uses fewer moving parts so there’s less wear and tear over time.

Clean Washer Cycle with affresh® Washer Cleaner

Deep-fill the washer to clean even those areas that aren't normally reached by everyday cycles. Add an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet to the Clean Washer cycle for best results.

ColorLast™ Option

Give your most vibrant colors the care they need with our ColorLast™ option. It uses a precise combination of wash action, gentle temperatures and time to keep colors vibrant longer³.

Active Spray Technology

Active Spray technology virtually eliminates the need to pretreat clothing. It works to saturate clothes with a mixture of detergent and water by spraying the load completely and evenly. It’s gentle on clothes while still providing improved cleaning performance that helps fight tough stains.

Precision Dispense

Precision Dispense provides optimal cleaning by releasing detergent at the right time. Plus, detergents and certain additives – like fabric softener and bleach – get mixed with water before they ever touch your clothes. The result is optimal fabric care and preservation for every load.

Estimated Time Remaining LED Display

Always have an eye on how much time is left during any cycle with our estimated time remaining LED display. Part of our updated digital console, it illuminates your selected cycles, options and available choices and lets you know when you can remove items from the washer.

Smooth Wave Stainless Steel Wash Basket

The Smooth Wave stainless steel wash basket gently guides clothes and helps protect fabrics from fraying and snags.

Quiet Wash Ultra Noise Reduction System

The Quiet Wash Ultra noise reduction system helps keep operational sounds inside the washer and out of living areas. Thanks to sound-absorbing material and a compact motor around the wash drum, you can install your washer virtually anywhere and know you won't be interrupted. People who like quiet will love this Whirlpool® washer.

Quick Wash Cycle

Our Quick Wash cycle can wash small loads in as little as 28 minutes⁴. It uses increased spin speeds to remove more water so clothes can spend less time in the dryer, so you have more time to do what you love.

Automatic Water Levels

Automatic water levels regulate the amount of water based on the size of the load. Only the amount needed to clean is used, increasing efficiency.

6.1 cu. ft. capacity I.E.C.

Put more in each load with enough room to wash a king-sized comforter, thanks to our 6.1 cu. ft. I.E.C. Cabrio® washer.

Oxi Dispense Option

The Oxi Dispense option distributes oxygenated additives at the right time for enhanced cleaning results. Plus, it's an eco-friendly alternative to bleach.

Steam Clean Option

Add the power of steam to this stain-fighting option. It penetrates fabrics using increased wash action, rinsing and heat for even more help in breaking down deep soils.

EasyView™ Frameless Glass Lid with Slow-Close Technology

Create a quiet close, every time. Our EasyView™ frameless glass lid features slow-close technology to shut quietly. The lid also provides a better view of what's being washed and is quiet for an overall premium experience.

On/Off End-of-Cycle Signal

You'll always know when your wash cycle is finished, thanks to the end-of-cycle signal. This helpful tone reminds you when it's time to transfer clean clothes from the washer to the dryer. You can also turn it off completely.

850-RPM Max Spin Speed

The Direct drive motor provides fast spin speeds of up to 850-RPM in the washer to remove moisture from clothes, so they spend less time in the dryer.

Designed, Engineered and Assembled in the U.S.A.

These washers are built with American Pride and designed, engineered and assembled in the U.S.A.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bammer7 from We made a great choice We bought this about a month ago as a replacement for our Kenmore which was subject to a class action law suit because the seal caused mold to grow in the drum. This model was one of the models which we were allowed to purchase in order to obtain the settlement rebate. Because of our limitation on models and brands, I was initially a bit dubious but knew Whirlpool made a good product. When we started using this, I was truly amazed. The ease of operation despite all the settings is great. The machine is extremely quiet. The capacity is amazing. The little kid in me even gets to come out to watch the machine in action with through the glass lid.

Rated 2 out of 5 by The Okie Yogi from Meh, expected way more It's beautiful. But. If I don't use the deep water feature, the detergent doesn't wash out completely. No, I don't overload it or use too much detergent. Yes, I use HE detergent. Some of the clothes still retain their odor too. Then they are so incredibly wrinkled that the dryer doesn't stand a chance of getting them out. Blankets that were folded in half come out of the washer still in half! Obviously not getting really clean if they don't get moved around in there. Finally, the inner barrel already has a squeak. I haven't even had it a year! I'm really disappointed that I finally got the set I'd been wanting for so very long and am so incredibly disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jere42676 from Disappointed I bought this washer and dryer set, excited after owning the regular cabrios, and after two years using the washer off and on, because it won’t do big loads and has had draining issues since I purchased them. To keep up with my laundry I’ve started to go to our local laundromat because my washer is unpredictable at this point if it wants to wash or not. We were told our drain motor may need to be replaced, but I don’t use this washer enough to need to do that, as to my old set of cabrios that lasted me over 5 years, which I gave to my sister and she still has them and uses regularly. I’m super bummed that I put so much money into this and still have to do my laundry elsewhere..

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dr. Paulenstein from Massive Capacity Got this set a week ago, after our washer retired with 20 years of service. We were mostly motivated by price, and found a really good deal on these. Admittedly I only saw that they were sort of gunmetal and were designed, engineered and assembled in the USA. I was very pleasantly surprised. Initially because they fit through the doors of my house, as I forgot to measure anything. Then at the capacity. The washer stands taller and has a deep agitator-less tub. My wife is on the short side and she has difficulty getting the clothes off the bottom. The cycles are very quiet and you can watch the magic through the lid. Very happy so far!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Washing Warrior ;-) from Love the capacity! I bought this washer about a month ago. I love love love the capacity! It holds almost twice what my old washer held. I was wondering what the sound level would be since it is in my kitchen, and I'm happy to say it's not too loud at all. While it does have some whirring and swishing noises, it is not as loud as a normal top load washer with an agitator. The only thing I've had issues with is if my daughter has an accident in bed, it doesn't get the "smells" out very well, but if I add a little bit of oxi clean to the load (which it has a feature for!) the smell comes out. It seems to clean well though! And I love the deep water feature for when it's needed! It works great on cleaning pet stuff as well!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Army/Navy Mom from Don't waste your money!!! I bought this washer the same time I bought the dryer (which I love)and I have hated it since the first time I used it!!!! I tried to send it back to the store but by the time I got in touch with the right people the first 24 hours was up and they wouldn't take it. It makes all kinds of grinding, popping, and squeaking noises and doesn't dissolve the "pod" detergents completely. I have tried to get someone out to service it but nobody services this machine. If you are short (5 foot 3) it is hard to reach the bottom of the barrel. I have to use a step stool.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hhcamera from Like it so far. We’ve had us for a little over a week, everything seems be working fine. I had one out of balance. But that was due to heavy blankets, common with any machine. I have to say I like this better than my last Cabrio. Unfortunately they don’t have a longer warranty period Which is somewhat bothering. My last unit lasted six years, one year past the extended warranty then I was told it would cost over $900 to fix it. Yes I purchased an extended warranty from Lowe’s. A manufacture should stand behind their product a little more than that. Samsung offers a 10 year warranty on their motor. I still like the whirlpool name and the fact it is made in the US. Please do better.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Angella from Overall happy The new washers without the agitators take a little getting used to. My clothes do get tangled badly, but I love not having the agitator in order to maximize the load. I also am not a fan of the water not fully covering the clothes. I fear they are not getting clean. But so far, so good. A few things to note: If you want to cancel your selection, there is no cancel button. You have to turn the whole machine off. Also, once the cycle is done, the word "End" remains there until you turn it off or open the lid. The "End" will stay there all night if I have done a load late that night. With those issues, I am slowly becoming a fan of the "no agitator" washer.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Aloft23 from Sorry we bought it. We purchased this washer because we like the Whirlpool products, however this washer needs major improvements in 4 areas. 1. Clothes frequently become knotted and entangled even after careful distribution. 2. Bulky items never get enough water and do not get properly washed without constant rearranging. 3. Very often large towels and comforters are ALWAYS GOING OUT OF BALANCE! No matter how much care we use in the loading process. YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE TO STOP THE MACHINE 2 OR 3 TIMES AND REARRANGE. 4.This washer needs to have the feature to select a SPIN ONLY CYCLE. Many hand washed items need this feature.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Big Bob 51 from Not all design changes were good. Nice washer that replaced an earlier version of Cabrio. Since most users add fabric softener with each wash, and not bleach, the loading dispenser should be where the prominent bleach loading point is located. Always had water connection hoses included with Whirlpool washing machines purchased in the past. Not anymore, which is disappointing considering what the purchase price is. Nice touch panel for making washing selections. Lots of initial start up noise without any visible mechanical actions, such as initial water addition or drum rotation. I can only assume that is normal for this iteration of Cabrio.
