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.

alm8199 9/2/2026

I am very unhappy with this Washer/Dryer set. They look nice and clean but they aren't great. I am not sure how Whirlpool is charging more than $1k for each of them. The washer likes to do a dance on the floor regardless of how big or little the load is. It does it even on the affresh cycle to clean itself. I've checked all the feet and it's definitely balanced and doesn't wobble when it's not running. So, not sure what the deal is there. It shakes SO MUCH that it opens the soap drawer every single time. I hated having to watch the machine so I could close the drawer, so onto Amazon I went. I purchased these little white stick on childproof latches to stick one half on the washer and one half on the drawer just to latch it before running the machine. Otherwise I either have to run the machine and watch it or I have to just deal with soap drips and water on my floor after the load has completed. The timer thing is really weird. It could say there's 3 minutes left and then it continues to run for 15 more minutes. I am not sure what that is all about, but this is just an example. I've noticed something similar with the dryer it came with where you set it for 2.5hrs but it only runs for an hour. The timing for these machines are way off. I have also had some loads come out still dripping wet. Like the spin cycle never ran or something. I still haven't figured this out but only happens every so often....mostly with towels. Sometimes it seems like there's no water in the machine or at least not enough for the amount of clothes that is actually in the machine vs what it's supposedly sensing. I wish there was a way to make it add more water. I've tried even setting combos of like Heavy Duty with Bulky Items thinking that I can trick the machine into adding more water...but nope. The amount of energy these things take up is nuts. Therefore, I am only doing laundry once every couple of weeks because otherwise its a hassle. I can't figure out if it's the washer or dryer doing this, but the handful of times this has happened, I noticed it when moving the clothes from washer to dryer which is why this is on this review instead of for the dryer. There's something I can't feel or see inside the machine causing holes in clothes. I've noticed it on sheets and on t-shirts so far. Again, not sure which machine is actually the culprit because i've noticed holes in items after they are dried that I didn't notice when moving to the dryer. I sort of wish they would just break down so I can toss them and buy something else. Note: I had pictures to share but the website keeps throwing errors. So apologies for not being able to show some examples.

Roy82 8/26/2026

This is trash. Constant error codes, and it gets worse and worse. You also can't clean the filter because of the terrible design. I wish I had a time machine to go back and warn myself about this terrible washer. Unless it was a whirlpool brand time machine. Please don't buy this washer!

Do not let this demon into your house

apoplectic210/180 8/15/2026

I have some advice if you have just purchased this washer. Direct the delivery people to an open area, away from flammable objects. Also make sure that you choose an area with enough room to swing an axe, maul, or sledge. Start by setting the packaging on fire to get it out of your way. Select a belaboring tool. Remember to wear your PPE. Proceed to beat the snot out of your recently purchased piece of crap while you can, because once it is installed and you go to use it, you are going to want to. And it will be too late. Ideally, you should hack it into chunks small enough to fit into your garbage and/or recycling carts. Done. Start looking for laundromats in your area.

Grandma113 8/11/2026

I was intimidated at first as there are so many computer sized features, I was just used to pulling knobs in and out. However I'm getting used to it now.... it's very very quiet I forget it's in my house and does a good job with laundry. I would prefer adjusting my water level but understand it's all done by sensors.

Mahmoud Mek 3/19/2026

I™€™ve been using the Whirlpool WFW560CHW washer, and it has been a game changer for my laundry routine. If you're looking for a machine that actually handles a "full load" without sounding like a jet engine taking off in your laundry room, this is it.

Whirlpool Washer WFW560CHW

peter2026 3/13/2026

Washer needs MORE WATER to effectively clean laundry. Washer needs INDICATOR TO SHOW WHAT STAGE IN THE WASH CYCLE THE WASHER IS IN e.g. washing, bleach, softener, rinsing, draining, extra rinse. Also the front DOOR DIAMETER IS TOO BIG causing fingers to be pinched when opening and closing. Design flaw - soap dispenser tray cannot be opened or closed without the TOO BIG front door being closed.

Jrcerrillo 3/10/2026

This unit came with our new home. It is a nice unit, the only issue we have has is trouble using detergent pods. They were not completely dissolving using a normal cycle. Has to tweak our usual settings and now seems to be working just fine.

LESS THAN MEDIOCRE

Not a Fan 3/9/2026

This washer and dryer was supplied by the developer when we bought our condo. We were prepared to buy an LG set, which we have had in our previous homes. We don™€™t love it. It™€™s complicated to operate, way too many buttons and I just don™€™t feel it does the best job. Don™€™t like the 3-second delay. Regarding the dryer, I can™€™t seem to get the temperature high enough to dry completely unless it™€™s at 1:48 minutes. I NEVER do large loads. It just takes FOREVER to dry a load of regular stuff let alone towels or jeans! Laundry has become a whole day chore. I apologize for my response but I appreciate the opportunity to give my opinion.

Bluenick 1/20/2026

Had it a 2 or 3 years. Does a good job. Last few months occasionally finishes without completely draining. Suspect filter needs cleaning but support says it doesn't have one? Solve by running it on "drain & spin" short cycle.

Loudest Washing Machine Ever

Mommabear 1/17/2026

We bought this model to replace a previous 17 year old whirlpool we had. Thinking a newer model would be just as quiet. We were so wrong. The spinning drum Is loud and shakes the floor it sits on. We tried washing small loads but it doesn™€™t make a difference. At times the clothes are so wet at the end of the washing, I have to run another drain cycle. I™€™m not impressed Whirlpool! I would like to return this model for a higher end model hoping it would make a difference.

This washer is straight forward and easy to use. Clothes come out clean without using a lot of water. If I could suggest anything it would be having the option to have one with a right swing door. The door gets in the way of transferring clothes to the dryer.

KQ-Lionheart 12/5/2025

Came with our new-build home, and so far it™€™s been working fine overall. My only gripe is that the cycles run long no matter what setting I choose ™€" I™€™ve had it sit on ™€œ17 minutes remaining™€ for close to half an hour. The first couple of washes had a weird smell on the clothes, but I™€™m not sure if that was the washer or just our water. Otherwise, it™€™s been functioning well and I™€™m still getting used to how this model runs.
