    Early problems and they won't take washer back

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 13, 2008 | 6 out of 6 found this Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW review helpful

    Pros: Good amount of features

    Cons: Leaks

    We purchased this for our 2nd home and it has leaked water 2 of the 15 times we have used it. The technician tested for leaks and couldn't find anything wrong. He said sometimes water splashes out of the tub when it's unbalanced or overfull. ...He seemed to lack confidence in the washer, and he suggested an extended warranty to deal with issues that might come up. We have never filled it over the amount he suggested and we don't smash our clothes in. I have reported this problem to Sears and they won't exchange it out because the tech couldn't find a problem. We are having a tech out for a 2nd time hoping that they will fix it or authorize an exchange. In the meantime we had to install a drainage pan to save our floors from water damage.

    CABRIO WTW 6600SW2

    By Wayne  Mar 17, 2008 | 2 out of 2 found this Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW review helpful

    Pros: LOOKS NICE

    Cons: EVERYTHING

    WE BOUGHT OUR CABRIO SPRING 2007. IT WOULDNT WORK AT ALL. REPLACEMENT WAS MADE. SINCE THEN TWO MORE REPAIRS. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REBALANCE CLOTHES BECAUSE IT GOES OUT OF BALANCE. CONSTANT F51 CODE NIGHTMARES THAT REQUIRE A RESET OF MACHINE. THIS MAC...HINE IS SO BAD I WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO MY LOCAL THRIFT SHOP. WHY GIVE SOMEONE ELSE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. ALSO IT TEARS CLOTHES ON OCCASIONS BECAUSE THEY WRAP UP IN KNOTS. WHIRLPOOL SHOULD RECALL THIS MACHINE. Read more Less

    Cabrio Washer is a piece of JUNK

    By rw  Feb 8, 2008 | 2 out of 2 found this Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW review helpful

    Pros: Looks Good

    Cons: Doesn't Work

    I bought a Whirlpool Cabrio December 2006 from Lowe's ( LOWES ) in Kentlands Maryland. The machine worked for about 9 months and I haven't been able to use my washing machine since October 2007. Every part in the machine has basically been re...placed at least once if not twice. Whirlpool has a problem ...and they refuse to fix the problem. They will send a factory repairman and he doesn't do anything. He claims that he fixed it by having the computer simulate an actual wash cycle. It is never fixed; when your warranty expires...that's it. The repairman told me there is nothing more that can be done and Whirlpool claims that its been fixed. Lowes is also worthless... they just spin you off to Whirlpool. What should we do about it??? First, continuously encourage Whirlpool to do what's right and recall a defective machine. Second, as long as Whirlpool continues to do this, make certain that every Cabrio owner knows of the problem before paying for repairs. Third... make sure every consumer considering an appliance purchase knows that Whirlpool & Lowes should be avoided as long as this type of issue remains unresolved. And finally, Save all the work orders; Don't trust them. Read more Less

    BEWARE!! AWFUL MACHINE!

    By Sandey  Jan 30, 2009 | 1 out of 1 found this Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW review helpful

    Pros: LOOKED NICE

    Cons: ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING

    I bought my machine December 2006 at lowes. I was excited until I used it. I hate that there is no flexability on the options only those that are pre-programed. My whites are no longer whites. all my clothes come out wrinkled and worn looking. I have... to wash everything 2-4 times just for them to come out clean, but that only stretches the clothes all out of shape even more. I regret this expensive piece of junk. I miss my old washer. I haven't been able to wash my clothes for a month now because of the f51 code now. Read more Less

    Don't buy one!

    By Walter  Dec 14, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW review helpful

    Pros: Very few

    Cons: Guanteed to fail beyond warranty period

    Several months out of warranty, my Whirlpool Cabrio washer failed. It's "electronic brain" is the problem, and Whirlpool has produced several "mother board" since then that still don't work. I've replaced that washer a...nd have since been told by techs from Sears and elsewhere that future repairs will be necessary that will far exceed the cost of this washer. Read more Less

    poor performance

    By Marisa K  Nov 17, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW review helpful

    Pros: sounds like Dr. Who's phone box

    Cons: everything else

    I have owned this Whirlpool Cabrio Washer for a couple of years now. I bought it because I owned a Whirlpool before and was very pleased with it. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for this one. The first problem I had with this washer is the water... spill when the laundry is not loaded quite balanced. Instead of just stopping when the drum is spinning too much to one side, the water spills out of the side of the drum and between the housing onto the floor. The service repair representative explained that nothing can be done and this is just a poorly designed feature. So I am extremely careful when loading the machine. I also don’t like the fact that the lid locks when the machine is operating, something I did not know upon purchase. But that is a personal preference. But now I have discovered a worse problem. Upon a number of occasions an article of laundry actually gets caught in the seam between the side and bottom of the drum during the spin cycle and is torn when I remove the item. As a matter of fact, a piece of sheet is stuck right now in the seam and I cannot get it out. The sheet, of course, has quite a sizable hole in it. I have not been satisfied with Customer Support to date. Too bad such an expensive washer is so unsatisfactory a product. Read more Less

    Don't buy this machine.

    By James  Oct 2, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW review helpful

    Pros: Efficiency

    Cons: Terrible washing, wrecks clothes

    We bought our Cabrio set and I must say I've never been so dissapointed for that kind fo $$ you'd expect machines that work. -It is constantly off balance. -If you actually have "dirty" clothes it wont clean them. If you work in so...mething like an office setting where your clothes really don't get dirty it would clean those probably. Real dirt, kids clothes, no. -It twists your clothes badly. To the point where it wrecks towels in like 10 loads etc -They keep saying "Well we will send someone out to take a look" That isn't going to matter the design is flawed, is the repair man going to scrub my clothes every time to get the dirt out? I am very dissapointed what a waste of money. It has nice features but doesn't serve its original purpose. Read more Less

    Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW washer

    By Keith  Jun 3, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200SW review helpful

    Pros: A lot of nice features such as automatic water level

    Cons: Poor agitator design

    The agitator is poorly designed. The ‘fins’ at the bottom of the agitator are not solidly attached to the agitator unit base but instead, are flexible and allowed to flap back and forth as the agitator cycles back and forth. The problem wi...th this design is that there is a gap between the fins and the the bottom of the agitator unit and the fins catch certain items of clothing, especially anything with a shoulder strap or pull string. The clothing becomes entangled in the gap and then and tightly wraps itself around the vertical auger shaft. The trapped items of clothing also drag other items of clothing along with them, entangling them around the auger as well. This creates a tightly wound ‘knot ball’ around the auger which is difficult and time consuming to untangle. This situation is a common occurrence for us and has ruined several items of clothing.

    Bogus reviews

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 1, 2009

    Pros: Cleans well, variety of cycles, tub with high spin

    Cons: spin cycle makes some noises

    This is a good washing machine, and we have not had any problems at all after about a year of operation. The clothes come out very clean and we have not noticed abnormal wear. The dry washing detergent container can get a little messy but you have to... make sure all the powder goes into the fill slot / hole. The machine spins so fast upon completion of the cycle that many thinner items are relatively dry and we hang them up. Read more Less

    Don't buy it

    By Alicia  Jul 4, 2009

    Pros: NONE!

    Cons: EVERYTHING

    I hate this washer. It eats my clothes, literally. The clothes never come out very "clean" to my standards and if I had the money to buy a new one I would and put this one on my lawn as a flower bed, thats about all its good for. I can'...t say anything good about it at all. Read more Less
