Whirlpool WTW6200S

Pros: Super large loads, excellent "whitest whites" cycle, easy to use

Cons: Lid should be unlocked for wash cycle; should be able to add additional wash time

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended.

Review: I bought this machine from Lowes about 2 months ago, and I could not be happier. After considerable discussion with sales people and reading reviews, I decided on this model over the 6400 which does not have an agitator. One sales person said he ...

Pros: It cleans really well and can hold large items.

Cons: Hot water wash is not available for all cycles. Possibility of expensive repairs.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this washer. It outperforms the various front and top loaders I have used over the past 15 years.

Review: I have owned my washer for 11 weeks. I bought it because it holds a large load and Consumer Reports reviewed it favorably. I love how well this machine cleans. I often squirt pretreater on stains and toss them in WITHOUT RUBBING and nearly every ...

Pros: Large capacity. You control the water level. Uses regular detergent.

Cons: Heavy loads use lots of water. (But we don't care.)

The Bottom Line: If you need to do big loads, get the clothes really clean, and you want to avoid front loaders then this is the machine for you.

Review: My wife and I decided on a top loader over a front loader. We wanted to avoid the mold issue and the high price of the front loaders. The machine is great! It handles large loads and allows you to set the water level. (It won't be long before Big ...

Pros: Large machine, easy to use. Service was good in getting a replacement

Cons: First machine self destructed in the first week. Initial product quality was awful.

The Bottom Line: Initial machine quality was awful. The replacement machine was much better. I am hoping the original was an unusual event.

Review: I bought this machine to replace a 6 year old Kenmore Elite Calypso whose extended warranty ran out but its problems did not. This machine was delivered on a Monday and we put it right to work. With a family of 5 including 3 children, 6 and younger, ...

Pros: very quiet.

Cons: doesn't clean well, doesn't handle large capacity well, wrinkles clothes.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy this product, it is big bulky and not useful for large loads.

Review: I bought this product thinking I was going to be really upgrading my previous mid priced heavy duty washer. Boy was I wrong. Within a the first week I experienced a flood of water all over the floor of my laundry room. Apparently although it is large ...

Pros: At this point, I cannot recommend this product to anyone due to safety concerns.

Cons: The Washer machine tipped upside down and the parts went flying across the room.

The Bottom Line: Never buy.  My machine flipped over, tub shattered, Metal back panel flew 10' from unit, shell completly torn apart and drain pipe pulled off wall.

Review: Below is my letter of what happened. I am emailing you the above pictures of an incident that occurred in my home.  As you can see from the pictures my washing machine (Whirlpool Cabrio Model #WTW6400SWO) “exploded”.  I have ...

Pros: Looks good on the outside.

Cons: error codes, leaks, junk!

Review: Error codes, control panel replaced, sensors replaced, leaking water on floor.  Bought it in 2006 and luckily purchased extended warranty plan because the repair man is out here all the time.  Steer clear of this ...

Pros: It has a lot of features and settings such as automatic water level sensing.

Cons: Will frequently ruin clothing with straps or pull strings.

Review: The agitator is poorly designed. The ‘fins’ at the bottom of the agitator are not solidly attached to the agitator unit but instead, are flexible and allowed to flap back and forth as the agitator cycles back and forth. The problem with this ...
