Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Products do not last! Quality is non-existent!

Disgusted owner 9/16/2026

I purchased my washing machine 4 1/2 years ago, based on my 35 years of using Whirlpool products. They had performed beautifully in the past, and I expected the same performance. This machine was junk! Didn't wash clothes completely, and the tub began grinding which meant either it had a failing pump motor bearing or a worn pump shaft seal. The cost to repair it would have been almost as much as purchasing a new machine, and there was no guarantee it would last, so I had to purchase a new washing machine. Note that the dryer, which was purchased at the same time, had to be repaired at the 2 year mark, and then completely stopped working just after the 3 year mark. I will NEVER buy Whirlpool products again. Quality has clearly been disregarded by this company!

It™€™s OK

Not surprised 9/13/2026

Not a fan; deep water fill is insufficient, it will not fill unless the lid is down, so you have no way to wash the detergent cup before putting it away. I knew it was not going to be as good as my old whirlpool; I guess this is just how washers are today. The agitation seems minimal.

buy any other washer 9/7/2026

This is the worst washer we've ever owned. We bought it in 2020, and have spent more money fixing it, than we purchased it for. Clothes do not get wet unless you do a "deep water wash". It barely agitates and clothes do not smell or look clean. Currently looking for a new one!

Do not buy whirlpool!

Jnmckeithen 8/31/2026

Worst washer I have ever owned. Stops mid cycle and won't complete the wash. Waiting on my 3rd repair in 8 months. Reached out to whirlpool and I also had purchased the extended warranty. They don't back the warranty because they said it's a 3rd party service which was also not advertised. I would not recommend this washer or any product by whirlpool for that matter since they don't honor the warranty or back their product.

Solid product for the price

Danib42 8/31/2026

This is an efficient- and amazingly quiet- machine. It is perfect for one person, as I am, and I love the various choices for the cycles. I also love that you can open the lid after starting to add something you may have forgotten- many new machines "Lock" once you start, which has always been a complaint of mine. Does a great job with the cleaning, as well, which, I guess, is the only thing that really matters, when all is said and done!!

Whirlpool Washing Machine-Never Again!

DorieT 8/5/2026

Bought a Whirlpool 3.8-cu ft Top-Load Washer in Sept, 2024; there are only a few members in our family, so it's not like any washer will be overworked. A plus: We really liked the removable agitator for certain loads! The negatives: We did note the washer never covered clothes completely. On 6/13/26, noted washer would not fill properly & found clothes were wet when "done". Tried going through the advised steps to reprogram the washer with no success.Unfortunately we did not purchase a 5 yr warranty since we EXPECTED the washer would last at least 5 years...WRONG! Upon checking with Whirlpool, they indicated they would charge $36 x 12 months to "repair & protect" or pay a fixed price of $369 for a guaranteed repair with a 90 day warranty! It's almost like buying another washer to fix a washer that's not even 2 years old! Given this, we ended up purchasing another washer vs repairing this one. My advice-don't buy a Whirlpool without a 5 year warranty, or buy another brand! Ugh!

Looks good, but™€¦

Syndie 7/27/2026

For me it™€™s quite disappointing. I give it an honest 2 stars. I thought it would be an upgrade from my very old but similar whirlpool washer that recently stopped working. This new one is beautiful and cool looking and has a lot more space inside but I learned you can™€™t load it up much, maybe 4 t-shirts, 2 pair of pants, 2 pair of socks and probably 4 underwear make a full load and even then that may be too much! If you put more than that it won™€™t wash well! It even has a deep water option but the water does not get very deep! It is gentle on fabric and snag resistant which is nice. I only wish maybe it had a more vigorous agitation. It does extract the water well so I™€™m happy about that!

Star shopper 7/23/2026

The washer squeaks loudly when first starting a wash. Usually there is not not sufficient water in the tank. The spin cycle is too harsh. The clothes are very wrinkled at the end of the wash. I had a previous Whirlpool washer which worked just fine but the control panel stopped working properly. The repair cost for the old one was almost as expensive to buy a new washer. I decided to purchase a new unit at Costco. I would like to get a better washer at this time.

Basic washer but does what it is supposed to

Ava2031 7/23/2026

Pretty basic washer with good capacity and cycle variety. Like the autosensing water level. Had it for over 3 months and so far no issues. Gave it 4 stars because it is a bit loud and some of the settings are not very intuitive. Overall pretty good price/quality unit.

One big flaw, otherwise great

Generally Happy customer 7/22/2026

Capacity great: Fits two full sets of bed linen no problem. Good cycle variety. Haven't had any issue with anything snagging. Washes very well, ability to soak. Water level looks like it's too low, but I decided to "trust" the machine and let it do it's thing. I realized that the clothing are turned very well and I think that because there's less water, there's more friction and therefore cleaner results. BIG FLAW: The cycle does not begin with the lid open - not even when machine is just filling with water. This is TERRIBLE because you've got to put your laundry straight onto the detergent that you've already put into the machine and I know from past experience that this can ruin the garment! You can actually stain certain fabrics by having them come in direct contact with undiluted detergent. I solved this for myself by attaching a hose with a spray nozzle to the stub-out so I can spray the detergent in the basin of machine to dilute it before putting in the clothing. I would only recommend this machine to someone who has a access to water right by the machine so that they can dilute the detergent before putting in the garments.

Godsend 7/8/2026

I bought this washer to replace an Amana washer that was only 3 years old. The old one got off-balance on almost every load and required me to rearrange the clothes so that it could spin. It was a nightmare. This washer is quiet and does everything it is supposed to do. What a relief!

Locked lid??? This is NOT needed for ANY reason! If a load becomes unbalanced, it would take a person less than 30 seconds to OPEN the lid, redistribute clothing, and restart machine as compared to what you have made the machine do with AI.

Great Expectations! Busted

Dissone 6/12/2026

Bought this product after having a sears washer for 20 years.i bought this a little over 2 years ago. It's all about the money! I don't do a lot of loads. Primarily 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. What a disappointment. Forced to purchase because no old fashion good machine. I specifically bought Whirlpool because I wanted a quality US made product. Joke it keeps acting like it draining water for 45 minutes after the cycle is complete. I did the things they said on line about resetting it. Didn't work !!! Whirlpool is just like the other companies. Who cares about the people. We only care about money. Very sad but not surprising.

MZ Minnesota 5/22/2026

I bought this washer 2 years and and have my first snag. Control board needs replacement due to sensor not moving to next steps to wash a load. I tried many resets before calling a repair technician to evaluate. I really like this washing machine and hope that the fix will get it operating as it did prior.

nowasher25 5/20/2026

bought this washer a little less than two years ago. A few months ago, the control board went out. Whirlpool doesn't service my area. They come as close as about 30 mins away! SOOO, got someone who works on washers to come fix it. here we are not even three months later, and the control board is out again. we went three weeks without a washer before. that means a family of three having to lug clothes to family's house to wash clothes. so instead of fixing it this time, we just got a new washer. this is unacceptable!! Whirlpool was no help! I thought as big a company as they are they would stand behind their products, guess i was wrong. $749.00 DOWN THE DRAIN!

Lawsuit??

Charles No Last name 4/8/2026

There should be a class action lawsuit. This Is the biggist piece of shyt ive ever had the privilege to own. First off I bought set from home depot. little over a year ago, not only did the control board go bad, now the shift motor not working. this happen with in the first year, you would think it would be under warranty right?... Ah not so fast my younging. Its funny how that first year thing works.. so lets say u buy it january 1st 2000 1 year is january 2001 right?. Well lets say it takes u 3 months to receive it, By the way i bought all my appliances washer/dryer stove/ refrigertor In STORE, for my new home at home depot. It took 3 months to get my appliances, long story for other review. As u can see i had the washer only 9 months, but because the purchase date was jan 1 well that the start of that 1 year warranty. so here a year later, 15 months there time. no warranty, whirilpool tells me parts mybe under warranty the control head ONLY.. But want me to call a local tech to inspect and recommend parts.. I pay Diag/install they give me part free.. so thay say.. as for the shifter SOL thats all on me. This Washer model Should be recalled and all owners should get a replacment washer, That would Be the RIGHT thing to do Whirlpool. So with all that said i will never ever buy other whirlpool product every again. Nor will i ever shop at Home depot again.

Makes loud noises after the load is done. 1 1/2 yr

lolo 4/4/2026

It was a good machine when I first bought it, 1 1/2 yrs. ago. But it is making loud noices after the machine has stopped. I called Whirlpool and they offered no help at all because the 1 year warranty is over (that's sad for a major appliance) Whirlpool, your products are not as good as they used to be. It's all about the money everywhere you go. Now I have to find someone to fix an almost new machine, pay out of my own pocket for something that should STILL be under warranty.

No timer, can™€™t do ™€œlarge loads™€ doesn™€™t drain wel

Dana987654 3/22/2026

Our old washer was over 10 years old when our dryer went out so we decided to replace both at once since we have a baby on the way and it™€™s my biggest regret. This washer is awful. First of all, the ™€œwater sensing™€ features will leave you with clothes at the top that are unwashed. I started using the deep water cycle for everything which is ridiculous but the only way all my clothes/items get clean. It holds half the amount of my previous HE washer and there™€™s no timer so I have no idea how long it takes, about an hour per cycle I guess. I recently washed 3 average/small blankets and 2 small pillows at once (something my old washer had no issue with) and when I went to pull them out they were SOAKED. Like so heavy I couldn™€™t lift them out as a 9 months pregnant person. I have run them through the drain and spin cycle twice and they™€™re still soaked. It™€™s the worst washer I™€™ve ever experienced. It™€™s also loud and rocks all over the place.

Gardeninggal8383 3/20/2026

I thought this would be a nice basic, old school washing machine that actually filled up with water and agitated the dirty laundry. Sadly, I was mistaken, and this machine is awful. Even after trying multiple settings and load sizes, clothes are not getting clean. Fresh pet and food stains do not even get rinsed away. Clothing still smells like body odor after washing. After disabling the lid lock to watch a load in progress, I noticed the agitator does not pull clothes under the water and push and pull them like a traditional washing machine-instead it only gently spins them around the drum, not even fully submerging some items in the water. I'd be better off hand washing my items! The machine also smells very strongly of burning plastic during every wash. I am guessing plastic parts will fail after only a short time. I will unfortunately have to return this and start saving up for a Speed Queen.

It's OK

I don't like that the only options for water level are "deep wash" or to use the "sensor." I found that when I used the sensing mode for water the items on top did not get wet and the detergent didn't all wash out, so I just do deep wash for everything... even if I have a smaller load. It defeats the purpose. There's also no timer so you just have to guess when it will finish the cycle. It's also pretty small, it doesn't really hold many clothes. It's strange to me that the accompanying dryer has nearly twice the capacity. When it's on deep wash and you use extra rinse it works well. Maybe just some trial and error. It also moves like crazy during some cycles.

I™€™ve had several different models of this same washer and dryer. Does a good job but I™€™ve noticed it is much louder than previous models
