Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6500WW Top Load Washer 5.0 cu ft

Featuring basic laundry functions while employing the familiar top load structure. The machine can wash until three large clothes baskets in one load. The large load is efficiently cleaned while saving the house of water and electricity bills.

About 70 percent is reduced from the original energy you?d be spending in another top loading machine. Buying the machine instantly cuts down future expenses and enables parents to save for other important funds.

Key features

- Offers numerous cycle types, including the Bulky item cycle, delicate cycle, and wool cycle. Consumers can choose according to the laundry clothing and the cleanliness they require.
- The 6th Sense Technology System employs different sensors to know which water temperature is required. The right temperature is able to initiate the detergent enzymes to achieve complete cleaning.
- Electricity consumption is energy efficient.
- The model can clean large capacities of clothes, including heavy duty work such as towels, bedding, and the like.
- Settings are readily adjustable, allowing you to personalize use of the machine.
- Thorough cleaning is accomplished, even with large capacity loads.
- Machine runs quietly, not giving any noise while the load is running.

Advantages

This model is energy star approved; assuring customers they will really save more electricity using this product. Total cleaning is achieved with its automatic temperature control, automatic fabric softener, and automatic beach dispensers.

These two features work to use the right water temperature and soap amount for proper laundry service. Loads run at a maximum spin speed of 1,100 rpm. Depending on the type of load and capacity needed, you can pick from 13 kinds of programs. Water is also maintained through the automatic water level and extra rinse system. Timer settings include a time remaining, end of cycle, and add-a-garment indicator.

Disadvantages

The model comes at an expensive price not advisable for families under a tight budget. Although the machine assures energy and water savings, you will be sacrificing a significant part of your present income to acquire this.

Contrary to its noise reduction guarantee, the machine easily shakes and breaks down. Larger loads aren?t managed well as king size bed sheets tend to ball up after a wash. Users in a hurry won?t be able to wash their large-sized and small-sized clothes all together. Doing so wrinkles clothes easily and makes the fabric more vulnerable.


Pros

- Washes everyday personal clothes best
- Cleans large loads such as heavy material, towels, and bed sheets as well
- Saves on energy and water consumption
- Large capacity allows for efficiently scheduled laundry cleaning
- Buttons are easy to decipher and operate especially under the dark
- 6th Sense Technology System measures the right amount of water needed by your laundry load

Cons

- Most users are unable to wash large-size and small-sized clothes at the same time
- Larger loads cause wrinkling and wearing of material for some clothes
- Machine runs rather noisily
- Very expensive

Cabrio Top Load Washer
by: From Alabama

I am very dissappointed in the washer. Have had (2). The first one the lid would not unlock and now when the washer starts and begins to wash and I have to reset it three times before it will wash. Final rinse have to do same thing twice. will cost $300.00 to get it fixed. Will never buy another cabrio.

multiple break downs
by: eball72177

This machine is a big disappointment.
It may save money on the electric bill, but costs a fortune in repairs. The top lock has broken 5 times. We have had a part replacement, then a
whole top replacement, and again the plastic lock has broken.
Along with that, it's also very temperamental and goes out of balance frequently. On the whole, I am exremely disappointed in this machine.

Disappointment
by: Anonymous

Not knowing that this machine was fully automatic I chose it due to a great price due to two rebates. I previously had a Maytag washing machine for 25 years.....it was a "true" gem!! My new Cabrio disappoints me since I don't think that i am able to override the automatic water level for each load. i do prefer washing my clothes in much more water.....so i guess I did not do my homework properly. I am truly disappointed in my choice...do you know if there is any way i can override the automatic low water level????If so my email address is:
wigwam80@aol.com........................
thank you
