Review: Whirlpool 4.7-cu ft High-Efficiency Top-Load Washer with Pretreat Station & Dryer 

No one can convince me an HE top loader washer with an impeller cleans better than an old school early 2000's top loader with an agitator, these machines do not clean well when you compare them to the old school washers, and any independent repair man will say the same, these washers are junk, pretty looking, but they do not clean as well as they should.

I just purchased the same set . The washer stopped working within 10 days maybe 8 loads of laundry. Whrilpool service is a nightmare. I had to wait a week for a call back. s the thing is still not working. dont waste your money on this junk,

Just saw the video. Only side note, you're always supposed to dilute your fabric softener when you put it in the dispenser. Pour whatever amount of fabric softener in the dispenser and then fill the dispenser completely up with water to the full line and you should not have that issue anymore with it gunking up

Had these for 2 years now, washer just broke and all power was lost. Repair person thought the control panel went, ordered a replacement, still doesn't work. Can't figure the problem out. Still waiting on whether extended warrant is going to replace or continue to repair. Hundreds of reviews about exact same issue online. Wish I should've read them before purchase. No whirlpool ever again. Doesn't last 2 years?! Do better Whirlpool.

All these new washers are junk won’t last more than 3-5 years threw it out in the trash and bought the Speed Queen very satisfied.

It says in the instructions that you should dilute your softener with water before pouring it in. I suggest you pour a gallon of hot water down there because there is probably still some in between your bin and drum.

hook to WIFI for updates also your putting too much fabric softener it should not be piling up. i am having problems with the water fill button keeps filling my washer for no reason. also just replaced the thermistor on the dryer 2 days passed the 1yr mark.

I’m 5”3 the washer is too deep for me to reach the bottom, that is the 5.3 one. This needs to be put on the washer so the consumer will know.

All that wifi and dozens of load options seem nonsense and more reasons for things to go wrong.... I miss the old style ones when there was only water temp, load size and start buttons

Most technicians I have talked to and have watched doing repairs do not recommend liquid fabric softener. The softener builds up on mechanical parts and attracts dirt build up causing damage to bearings and promotes corrosion.

I was looking where to put the soap. I was so confused. You were truly helpful.

So happy for your RU-vid. Just bought these and have a huge problems operating the washer. Finally figured out how to get it to wash however the detergent didn’t dispense. ☹️. Your video has given me incentive to try again. Thank you.

Thank you, we got one a week ago, the installers cracked something by tightening too much, and it took a long time for the second crew to figure out where the leak was coming from (brand new machine 1 week ago). Kind of leary, want to try the load and go, but the first machine, it emptied somewhere, we don't know where. So thankful to find this.

This is an excellent review! I’m having this set delivered tomorrow (ordered them before seeing your review), and I found your tips and run-down very helpful. Thank you so much! God bless.

Thanks for the time you put into explaining the functions and specs of these units. Going next week to purchase!

I just had a set delivered to my house today after my 23 year old Kenmore finally died. The model I got was larger with the 5.3 drum with the removable agitator. Thank you for your review!! It was extremely helpful! You were the only one I could find that did a review on these models. As for the wifi enabled, I don't really see a use for the washer, but the dryer I would definitely have an opportunity to use it. If I am drying a load and I have to leave the house quickly and forget to turn off the dryer, I would use the app to turn it off. I live in the country and I have 4 dogs that could be stuck in the house if there was a fire. I try to always turn off the dryer before I leave. Just makes me rest more easily.

Had to leave this set at our last house when we moved in December last year. After a year with a beat up LG (likely nice when new...in 2004) pair that came with our new house, and being unable to wash the comforter at home, my wife is finally ready to upgrade back to this set with the gas dryer. The WiFi functionality was useful for me, I could load the clothes before bed or before leaving for work, and start the washer to finish at X time so the load wasn't sitting wet for hours on end.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the audio. It sounded very clear to me. 👍

I just got the washer this week and I love it too!! One tip about the fabric softener, make sure you have the fabric softener option turned on when using fabric softener. Otherwise, it will not dispense properly and that is why its building up in the dispenser. I've used fabric softener multiple times with the fabric softener setting on and have not had this issue once.

Got the dryer on order, not because of your video we just found one on our own. Seems nice, I want to know more about the smart features! Should be delivered this week! Thanks for the run-down ninja
