Whirlpool 4.0 cu. ft. I.E.C. Top-Load Super Capacity Plus Washing Machine (WTW57ESV) —
I have been looking for the last two months and finally settled on this washer based on the reviews here. I was satisfied with the features, yet concerned about not having control of the water level. It was delivered yesterday and I have run a few loads with it. First and foremost, this think is LOUD. Everything works correctly, it is leveled properly and the spin cycle is not the issue. (Spin is actually the quietest cycle.) It sounds like there was no effort made whatsoever to insulate or reduce the noise in any way. The switches between each cycle are very loud and clunky, the pump to drain the tub is as loud as a leaf blower (A bit of a stretch, but almost) I just wonder what effect all this rough action will have on the longevity of the machine. I previously had a Kenmore 70 series washer for the last 10 years and this new unit is twice as loud as that was. On another note, I was concerned about the "auto load sensing" feature. I was assured that you could open the lid once the fill was complete as long as you stopped the machine first. I checked my first load and made sure to wait until the fill stopped, once it did, I paused the machine, and opened the lid. The water level looked OK at about half full, but then as soon as I started the cycle back up again, it proceeded to fill the tub all the way to the top. Don't let them fool you. You lose all control of the water level and cannot open the lid for any reason, even if you stop the cycle. I have only had it for two days now, but it looks like this one will be going back within the 90 day trial period. At least Sears has this option. That was the main reason for my choice to buy here.
