Stay away from the Whirlpool Cabrio. We paid $999 for it and spent $650 on repairs. After three miserable years, we dumped it and got a SpeedQueen top loader. Check out SpeedQueens: they’re simple to use, no “motherboard” and made by a company which makes rugged, commercial washers.
Also note that with the Cabrio, you cannot control the water level (check out the many blogs mentioning this shortcoming). If I want to wash a single pair of socks on the highest water level, I’d like to have that choice.
Agree with you about the cabrio and all new HE top loaders...too new and unproven.
Agreed. I bought a pair 18 months ago, then called the dealer to return them two days later when there was water all over the floor and a nasty smell. The dealer assured me these problems could be fixed easily. No dice, I said ... come pick them up!
The computer quit on our 3 1/2 year old Cabrio. My husband up the manufacture and they sent out a repairman to replace the “magic black box” without any cost to us. We live in rural northern Nevada (40 miles east of Reno). We have been very happy with the appliances we selected for hour new home, especially our Amanda 25’ bottom freezer refrigerator and our Cabrio washer/dryer set. Our GE gas range is adequate, but someday we’ll replace it with a Viking.
