Comparisons within the Whirlpool Series » This washer is really the link between the more feature rich high efficiency models, and the cheaper traditional series of models. Howevever this one is a high efficiency model, so it deserves consideration if you want an HE washer on the cheap, without the more advanced features. The features it comes with are reduced, for example it doesn't have the easy view glass lid but does have tempered glass see through lid, it also has a less advanced noise control system, and the soft touch impeller in the WTW8200YW adn above models is also missing.
Consumer Opinions » Pros “very nice looking”
Cons “loud and a bit annoying, if can’t shove it in a laundry room” “the sensor is not economical, I put in a few towels and the timer automatically set to 63 minutes!” Available Colors » Only available in Chrome Shadow
