I bought a set of Whirlpool Cabrio (top loading) about 5 years ago.
They have not given me a minutes trouble; however, I am not happy with them. First... it takes FOREVER for any cycle to complete (typically 50+ minutes). I always rince my husband's work clothes before washing..... it takes nearly 40 minutes to simply rince. ON TOP OF THAT..... my clothes do not get as clean or when I put it on a heavier cleaning cycle.... it rips my clothes.
I wished I just bought a simple top loading set. It would have been a lot cheaper and I would have clean clothes.
My advice.... stay away from these.
