The Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200VW gets better user reviews than most affordable top-loading washing machines, which are plagued with performance and reliability complaints. The Whirlpool Cabrio, on the other hand, performs better than most. This Energy Star-compliant washer has a large, 4.5-cubic-foot capacity, four temperature settings and nine wash cycles. It's backed by a one-year warranty and has a matching gas or electric dryer. The Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200VW gets good marks in one independent test, and most owners say the washer is quiet and can easily accommodate big and bulky items like large comforters without vibrating loudly during the spin cycle. It also gets good reviews for washing performance, and the Cabrio doesn't require high-efficiency (HE) detergent. However, the washer receives its fair share of reliability complaints, with owners complaining of breakdowns past the one-year mark. Users also report that laundry can get tangled easily in the washer's agitator.
We found the best review of the Whirlpool Cabrio MVWB750WQ at ConsumerReports.org, which includes the washer in its most recent test of 75 front- and top-loading washing machines.
