I have the Whirlpool Duet Sport about 5 years now. I love them! Our water bill went down after we got them. I prewash all my fabrics and use colorcatchers and it's not been a problem. The one time I needed to use retayne, I went to the laundramat. I love that I can put my king sized quilt in there and it comes out great! My only issue is I guess I must have been too lax about wiping the rubber thing on the inside os the washer because it's got some black mildew that I can't remove so there is a musty odor. I do wipe it now, but it hasn't gone away. Oh well. But I really like the he washers.
