28" top load washer with active wear cycle and easyview slow close glass Lid. Has 13 wash cycles including a clean care cycle.
Listen – do you want to know a secret? Well, this 4.6 cu. ft. Cabrio top-loader has the advantage of the Clean-Care wash-cycle, which safeguards textiles from fading and prevents dye from leaching out into other articles. In fact there are a whole range of special-care wash-cycles, like Active-Ware for those sporty-types or Quick-Wash, when you are in a hurry. This is a secret worth sharing!

How does this washer stand out? »
If you want the allergen cycle you’ll have to upgrade to the 8800, but apart from that there’s not much missing from this machine compared to Whirlpool’s Top Load flagship. An upgrade to the top model (8800), will get you three more cycles, 1 more temperature setting, the sanitary cycle and LED basket light. Unless you want the Sanitary and allergen cycle, this washer means business.
