This review is from Whirlpool WTW4950XW :I bought this washer on sale at Lowes, when the washer I planned to shop for required an additional $250 pedestal to be practical. I did not scan the CR review till afterward.

If I had scan the review before purchase, i might not have bought this washer. it is CR’s third lowest rated top loading washer, scoring only thirty two points, compared to a high of seventy five points. Its lowest rated space is that the most important-washing potency. it had been one in all only four washers awarded a “fair” rating for washing efficiency-no washers rated “poor”. (In most other areas it rated fine.)

I went back in before delivery to swap it out. The salesperson convinced me to undertake it for thirty days, telling me that notwithstanding what CR said, it’d get my garments clean, and that i would love it. i don’t love it. consumer Reports was right.

I wanted to love this washer. it is appealing. The controls are easy to work, and that i thought there would be less probability of a drag with a knob instead of the soft push areas that job the controls on most new washers. it is great for water and energy potency.

It just doesn’t get the clothes clean. i am laundry tiny loads of my 86 year old mother’s soiled pajamas that i really have to be compelled to get completely clean. I run a soak cycle, that takes about half-hour, with detergent, Febreeze, and Clorox. The soak cycle doesn’t embody a rinse or spin, thus I run that, that takes a further 15 minutes or thus. Then I wash them in one in all the regular cycles, together with an additional rinse, with detergent, Febreeze, and Tide laundry boosters.

In total, it takes about 2 hours to scrub a load of clothes. You’d assume with all that, that they’d be clean and recent smelling. but they don’t seem to be. This washer leaves stains that my old agitator vogue washer got out, and that they occasionally still have an unpleasant odor.

I ought to have trusted consumer Reports. Lowes is swapping it out for a Maytag that CR rates higher.

If you have gently soiled garments, and are bound to follow the directions closely-it works differently than agitator vogue washers-it may match fine for you. it had been not satisfactory for my needs.
