Whirlpool WTW4800XQ traditional Top Load Washer
(3.4 cu. ft.)

with Twith Care Control Temperature Management System and Xtra Roll Action Plus Agitator, Fabric Sense Wash System and Quiet Spin technology and has 8 automatic cycles and 4 water temperatures,
The three bears had porridge that wasn’t too hot or too cold but just right similar to the temperature in this top-load washer is just right when you select the comprehensive Care-Control system. The Xtra-Roll Action-Plus agitator is doubly effective at circulating your washing throughout the wash basket. OH, and if mummy bear selected one of the 8 wash cycles, Goldilocks would not wake up, because the clever suspension in the Quiet Spin technology keeps everything nice and quiet — every time.

Price History »

How does this washer stand out? »

This is the cheapest model Whirlpool offers. Although paying 50 dollars more for the energy star qualified version will actually save you money over the long run.

In 5 years of normal use the WTW4800XQ will use $250 dollars of electricity with an electric water heater. However the WTW4850XQ in 5 years will only use $75 dollars, which means a saving of $175 dollars. That is why we recommend upgrading to the energy star equivalent, the WTW4850XQ
