The Whirlpool Corporation has given us many great advances in home appliances. However, there have been several things that everyone wishes they would create, but they haven’t – until now. Surely, everyone is aware of the two different types of washing machines. There is the traditional “top-load” washer, which in a nutshell is the tradition type of washing machine that your mother used and energy wise, it uses around 40 to 50 gallons of water per load, and overall, isn’t the most efficient way to clean your clothes. And then there is the “Front-Load” washing machines. Again, in a nutshell, these are the “newer” type of washing machines, and energy wise it uses anywhere between 10 and 15 galls of water per load, thus making it VERY energy efficient. However, the only downfall to these machines is the way that they appear, and the way the clothes enter and leave the unit. Why couldn’t manufactures make a washing machine that was as efficient as a front-load washing machine, however, carried the traditional look and feel of a the comfortable top-load machines.
Well, Whirlpool has understood this need, and has actually created a washing machine that looks like the standard top-load machines, however it also has the efficiency of the front-load machines. And the new washing machine that I am talking about is the Cabrio series by Whirlpool. This washing machine looks and appears to be just as normal as a traditional washing machine. However, it acts like nothing in the world. On the inside it works just like a front-load washing machine, giving you the energy saving qualities that make the front loaders so popular.
The Whirlpool Cabrio is an astonishing 4.5 cubic feet, and has ten various wash cycles. Myself spending over a year in the appliance department of a major retailer, I can tell you that this is an absolutely amazing product. The Cabrio runs with a direct wash system, which penetrates and treats stains before the cycle even begins, thus giving you an amazingly clean laundry pile at the end of the wash. The capacity of this washing machine is breathtaking, definitely one of the largest, if not the largest, capacity washing machine I have ever seen.
There are ten cycles in this washing machine, which include soak, heavy-duty, hand washable, exatra spin, delicate, bulky and cotton. There are also five other selectable water temperature options, which are perfect for creating the utterly perfect wash cycle that will treat your clothes delicately while still getting stains out. The coolest thing about this washing machine is that it does not use an agitator to move your clothes around. It uses wash plate technology with allows your clothes to be gently washed, thus prolonging their life. The direct inject wash system injects a highly concentrated dose of detergent into the load before the actual cycle begins, thus creating a pretreatment like none other.
The drum of this washing machine is pure stainless silver, thus it can withstand years upon years of wear and tear. This machine was built to last, unlike many other washing machines in today’s industry. And the next feature is for everyone. This machine is definitely one of the quietest washing machines I have ever years. I have never seen – scratch that – heard a machine as quiet as the Whirlpool Cabrio. Thus, making it utterly perfect for those of you who have your washing machine on the second floor of your home. With this washing machine you will never have to worry about it “waling” around in your laundry room! If you don’t know what that means, than ask a friend, or your mother, and they will be more than happy to tell you.
This washing machine is beautifully put together. It will last you years upon years, and thus making the initial investment well worth it. However, the price of this machine isn’t that expensive when you take into account for all of the features and options, and don’t forget the sheer size of it! The price of the Cabrio ranges from anywhere between $850.00 to $950.00 depending on where you buy it. However, this price is far cheaper than most high quality front-loading machine that are comparable to the feature that the Cabrio offers its users. It is definitely a great buy, and if you are in the market for a new washing machine, you absolutely must purchase the Whrilpool Cabrio.
