Whirlpool Washing Machine Reviews

Think twice before buying
Nov 14, 2003 03:21 PM 9825 Views

I bought a whirlpool refrigerator 18 months back. Suddenly it lost its cooling capacity. I called the company people they charged around 600 though it has 7 yrs guarantee. But the actual guarantee is 1 yearonly. They said the gas leakage was the problem. How can a new product which comes from a reputed company(??) can have such problems. Should not the company repair it free of cost? I used Godrej refrigerator for 10 years and have not experience any problem throughout the usage. Whirlpool made us fool. I am planning buy Godrej again in exchange of this damn product.

It was after a long discussion we decided to go in for Whirlpool whitemagic FP45 model.Why Whirlpool?? because I already had a fridge which had not given me any problem for 3-4 years I had a favourable brand image of the same.


Just last week I purchased the machine and was quite happy the way its looks.


The problem started the very next day when I used it for the first time.My whole Kitchen was flooded with water when the machine started draining at first I thought it was a drainage pipe not placed properly, too my horror I realised the water was leaking from inside the machine and that too not drops but stream of water was flowing from inside the machine.I contacted the dealer whom I purchased the machine and he sent an engineer to check,who came to a conclusion that there is a leakage problem and the machine has to be replaced.


The replacement arrived in the next two days,as I started to use the machine I realised that the water level knob was not working and was stuck in one position.. called the dealer again and he promised to change the piece instead of repairing.


The second replacement arrived and this time again my Kitchen was a swimming pool.


Three machines in a weeks time and all defective pieces....Whirlpool I think your quality control department seems to be sleeping.


Eventually switched over to Samsung even though it was a little costly.


After 1 week of buying this brand machine all I have got is total frustration, disappointment and ofcourse back ache after converting the swimming pool back to my old kitchen.


Well thats my experience......Whirlpool is out of my life forever.


Needs repeated maintenance
Jul 09, 2003 08:15 PM 9338 Views

We bought a Whirlpool Semi Automatic Aquashower C45, just a year ago. It sounds worse than an auto rickshaw going nuts in the house. We have complained about it and have had it attended to 3 times in the last month, the service guys come, open up the whole machine and then need to come back to replace some part or the other. This is not the quality one expects from an International brand, that too in the first year itself. The issue is certainly not the cost as yet, it is in warranty. But the warranty will expire in a few months, then it will surely pinch each time the machines needs a new part !


It is so loud and shaky and it seems now some brake system is spoiled. We had to buy a semi automatic one as we did not have continous water supply in our previous house. We considered the option of a buy back, but it is too costly to do that considering that one gets only about 1500 to 2000 in that case.


I do not recommend this machine.

The cool experience
May 05, 2003 03:43 PM 10020 Views

One of our early purchases 3 years back - soon after our marriage and as we were shifting into our new home - was the Whirlpool WhiteMagic. Till now, I have had no reasons to complain, as Whirlpool takes care of all my dirty linen. If anything, it is the fact that we don't get tap water 24 hours that has given us headaches. But, with some planning, we have been able to effectively utilise Whirlpool. A must for working couples.


It is fully automatic, and once you switch it on, it takes care of the rest and you can go about your other jobs with no worries or hassles. Any time of the day. It dries so well, that synthetic materials practically need not much drying out in the sun. It is a difft. issue that most of the times we don't find time to take the clothes off the line for two days. I wish Whirlpool did something for that too!


Oh yes, once we did find the bedroom, where the washing machine is kept, flooded! We only use a mattress and no cot, so one can say the mattress got a free wash too! But, that sent panic buttons through. However, service was prompt and it turned out to be a lose pipe inside, in between the outer and inner casing. As a result, all water escaped through the bottom of the machine. But ever since we fixed that with some quickfix, we have had no troubles with the machine.


On the whole, it takes washing off my mind.

THE bEST U CAN GET IN SEMI AUTO M/C
Sep 27, 2002 01:46 PM 9451 Views

I ma using this machine for the past 8 years still today I didn't reqire the service centre's contact address such a good trouble freee machine it is.


The machine has a top loading facility with 5 kg’s . capacity. Top loading is good since front loading creates a lot of problems, as I came to know from somebody. The machine has the best wash (agitator) system and three wash programmes and the washing is excellent. Even the collars and sleeves come out clean. The agitator system is too good, it has the plastic pipe, which rotates clothes and increases pressure due to which the dirt just vanishes.


The drier is the best as it squeezes maximum water tightly and almost dries the clothes. Though it is semi automatic and technically inferior, I like it because the company is the best and the product is excellent.It has a good fibre body too.


the only difficulty in the machine is clothes has to be organised properly while spinning.

All gain no loss

Before 2-3 Years or so Washerwoman was integral part of our (Indians) life systems especially for those who are living in metropolitans and both (Husband-Wife) are working. But the mood of washerwoman changes like moon and again the quality of washed material is not always satisfactory. Then in last couple of years most of the foreign companies came in the market with their Washing Machines and today we’ ve at least dozen of them each of which is equipped with different and unique features. So recently I purchased Whirlpool White Magic and I found it works without a fuss!


WWM has simulated our hand wash system what they called it as Experienced hand wash with unique scrubbing action and thus leads to remove dirt along with Agitronic Soak process.


Most ubiquitous and harmful in India especially from rodent family is. …Right…Mouse. For these nocturnal incisor places like Washing machines, Refrigerators are ideal canopy in our houses. This WWM has taken care of this major problem and introduced a mesh that keeps away these rodents.


It has extra strong motor with 4 different wash programs, which are easy to operate.


1 st is for delicate clothes like Woolen, Zari, Baby clothes etc.


2 nd is for normal day to day wearing like Nylon, Polyester


3 rd for heavy clothes which can be used with 4 th and last one speedy wash for heavily soiled clothes like Denim, Bed sheets, Curtains etc.


Once you set the desired program then just seat and relaxed it will do its job along with drying the clothes in one go. It has inside the plastic bucket instead of steel (which I had with my previous machine) thus by decreases its overall weight. Wash system is Agitronic meaning the wash bucket spins around the axis perpendicularly to the surface.


But it don’t have the wheels may be due to heavy spinning it remains still and steady. Also it has no water heating facility, which few machines in the market have like Kenstar, LG. It cost you around 15K Rs. Following are some of the technical specifications, which I have from the manual.


Type of washing system – Agitator


Capacity – 5 kgs.


Bleach inlet


Total weight – 38 kgs.


Water consumption – 50-120 liters.


Taking in to account the wash quality, water consumption and the cost obviously it is the best buy for your money.


White magic at 14K
Sep 20, 2002 11:16 PM 13729 Views

Whirlpool Autosparkle – 5 kg Fully Automatic machine is a competitor of Kenstar Tumble Top. Both are top loading machines with same loading capacity of 5 kg. All of the features are same except some like rat mesh, castors which one has the other doesn’t and vice versa.


Like every other washing machine Whirlpool has a superior wash quality with superior washing technology, which is close enough to be a replica of hand washing. I really appreciate the marketing, advertisement done by these companies to project how their product has all features, which others don’t have and how better it is compared to others. But if we have a little background knowledge of the product we are buying then we will come to know there isn’t much difference except few minor specifications.


Wash Quality


Type of wash system used is called Agitator which is gives the unique scrubbing action of hand wash. Kenstar has a Tumble top technology to give a good wash. In Whirlpool the rotation of the drum is around the axis Perpendicular to the horizontal while in Kenstar it’s tumbling with the axis of rotation parallel to horizontal. That’s one difference in Whirlpool. There are 4 wash programs compared to 3 of Kenstar TT including for Heavy Cotton (Denim, Curtains), Normal Cotton (Shirt, Trousers), Polyester type soft soiled fabric, Woolen (Also baby clothes) and a Speedy wash. Four programs are designed to match your requirement of different wash for different clothes. Time required for each program accordingly differs from heavily soiled cotton to delicate fabric like woolen. Heavy cotton takes maximum time and water. One disadvantage of the machine is that there is no heater included. Heavily soiled materials are seldom washed because of various reasons. A hot water gives a better cleaning result; also it gives a bacterium free wash. More electricity is consumed but you get fantastic clean wash.


Rat Mesh


Rat mesh keeps the machine from rodent hazard. This feature you won’t find in many machines. Whirlpool has one. Rats, mice could be found easily anywhere on earth where there is source of food and garbage. Even if you take all measures in the world to keep away rodents you can’t be so sure of not getting one in your house. They are always one step ahead of you. Favorite hide out places for the creature are one with lot of junk, garbage and trash. They also like congested, lowly lit areas. No wonder if they choose a washing machine to be their next house. In fact a Whirlpool washing machine would be a mansion for them. Thus a rat mesh is important to prevent these unwanted guests from intruding your dependable machine.


Water Consumption


Water consumption can be from 60 liters for normal daily wash to above hundred for heavy clothes wash. Washing machines always take more water compared to hand wash. In critical situations of fewer water supplies it would be inappropriate to use washing machine. So have a separate water tank fixed in for extra storage of water. The automatic washing machine also requires full force of water for the inlet. Slow intake could increase the wash time and the quality. Machine-washes all clothes in one go. So put in all clothes, adjust the program knob to the suitable program, have the water tab fully opened and just sit back and relax.


Other


Weight of the machine is mere 38 kgs compared to 68 kgs of Tumble Top. The size of the machine is greater than Tumble Top but the wait is amazingly less. No casters are provided for the machine. This is very inconvenient in view of space management. May be they didn’t have one because of the less weight. Anyway it is very useful to have wheels. In case of power failure you can always remove clothes and reset the program or wait till the power comes and leave it to the machine to complete the program by itself.


Noise and vibrations are average with this machine. Certainly not like Front-loading machine and Kenstar Tumble Top. Cabinet is made of steel. A bleach inlet is provided for bleaching. Wash/Spin bucket is made up of hard plastic. In Kenstar it is a porous steel drum (may be that explains drastic difference in the weight). I would say at 14000 Rs. Whirlpool is a great buy and value for your money.


It lives forever!
Sep 03, 2002 10:23 AM 11604 Views

I have a Whirlpool Super capacity washing machine.........now get this..........for 20 years! It still works as well as it did when it was new.


The only repairs I ever had to make to this fantastic washing machine, was I had a repairman come here once to replace the knob mechanism. That's it, in 20 years.


My machine is a 2 speed, 5 cycle agitator type. It has settings for permanent press, heavy duty (denim and blankets), light loads (''dainties'' and stuff) and regular loads.


It has 3 water levels to choose from. Small load, 6 pounds, medium load, 12 pounds and large load, 18 pounds. You have to judge the weight of the load, but what I do is press the water conservation button and set most loads on medium and let the machine judge for me.


It has a self cleaning filter, which is great! I don't have to worry about cleaning the filter each time I wash clothes and there is never a build up to clog the system.


You can choose from cold, warm or hot water settings, depending on what you are washing. But,I usually wash everything in cold water, except whites, which I wash with bleach in warm water.


There is even a dispenser for your liquid bleach so you don't have to worry about pouring it in and getting too much on an item of clothing. There is also a dispenser for putting liquid water softener in as well. You can add it in the beginning of the wash cycle and the machine releases it during the last rinse to soften the clothes.


There is even an option where you can set the machine to soak clothes in a pre-wash solution for stubborn dirt and grime. It holds it in the soak cycle for up to 3 hours and then starts the wash automatically.


As I said, my machine is 20 years old, it's big, ugly and green, and if anything ever happen to it, you can bet 100% I'd most certainly buy another Whirlpool Super!


Whirlpool is whirling!!!!
Sep 03, 2002 10:23 AM 11963 Views

Whirlpool is one of the best washing machines till date and faces a stiff competition in the beginning. We have been using this washing machine from the past 7-8 years and it has been a loyal customer to us. We did not have to face any problem with the machine and also did not have any servicing done. My mom and sister are the happiest people with the washing machine as it saves alot of energy and time. The clothes look much more cleaner and no need to use the hands everytime. I think the it is the machine made for the woman of tomorrow. Whirlpool Whirlpool..... I love you.


OK Spooks, this one's for you!
Sep 03, 2002 10:23 AM 18953 Views

Remember my 20 year old washing machine? Well, I have it's mate as well. I have the Whirlpool Super Electric Clothes Dryer!


Yup, my 20 year old clothes dryer works as well as my washing machine. And, I've never had to have a repairman for this one!


This clothes dryer is equiped with an automatic timing device which turns the dryer off when the clothes are dry. It saves a lot on unnecessary drying time and electricity. Or if you'd rather, you can set the timer for 5 minutes, all the way to an hour, and when the time is up, a buzzer sounds to alert you so you don't leave the clothes in the dryer to wrinkle.


There are 5 settings so whatever you dry comes out perfect. There is a fluff setting to use on items like pillows and blankets and towels, so after they are dry, you can air fluff them to softness. There is a permanent press cycle which helps eliminate lots of wrinkles, a regular cycle and a heavy duty cycle, for jeans and such.


You do have to remember to clean the filter after each load though. If you don't, the lint can build up and cause a fire. Also, about once a year, move the dryer and vacuum the built up lint from underneath and any other areas you can reach with your vacuum.


Unfortunately, my Whirlpool Super Clothes Dryer is also big, bulky and ugly green. But, what the hey....it sure works well!


Would I buy another Whirlpool when and if this ones ever goes? Yup, you bet your tushie I would!


For a Sparkling Wash
Aug 27, 2002 10:43 AM 13595 Views

Ours is a busy world, ain't it? We want things to be done as quickly as possible so that we can be on our way. If someone else is doing our job we would right royally accept the offer. But who can substitute us. Our job should be done by us only. Hey, there are machines!! They'll do the job for us. But, you need to stay with them and supervise. There are automatic machines and they don't need any care. That was some conversation for you. Let me come straight into the point I am trying to make here. The Whirlpool Autosparkle washing machine is a class act. The very fact that it is digital makes it all the more catchy. At our place, we have this machine for 6 months now and I am really satisfied. Let us look into some features and methods of washing with this machine.


This washing machine has some really exciting features. 1. A programmable control panel:- With all the developments around, the makers of this machine have gone digital and a step further, providing us with the luxury of programming the washing machine. All you have to do is prepare for wash, add detergents and clothes and select the water level selection. Program the machine to either of the four as below: 1) Agitronic soak 3) Rinse 2) Wash 4) Spin. You have a further programmable option of four. a) Normal b) Speedy c)Delicate d) Heavy Isn’t that cute? Okay, once you do this, switch on the machine and after ensuring the required water level, just bear a smile all the way. This does the job for you. How to program:- First track the washing process by observing the LED on select panel. Select your option and wait till the flickering LED goes off. Once the job is over, a cycle beep indicates you to unload the clothes. That is it.


2. The Bleach Dispenser:- This is a unique feature which actually enables us to bleach the wash tub before loading the clothes. Hence the clothes wouldn’t get the smell thats inside the washing machine. Once you pour a measured quantity of bleach and flush the dispenser clean, the wash tub gets a clean look.


3. Blue Dispenser:- Whenever we put detergents into the machine, there is a good chance of the detergents getting into chunks, thus giving an irregular wash. This is where the blue dispenser comes to the rescue. It neatly spreads the detergent throughout the water and felicitates uniform distribution.


4. Lint Filter:- This is not a detachable filter but a self-cleaning one. So you don't have to worry about a thing in it. And moreover the fact that the filter is so efficient adds to the credits.


5. The Control Panel:- What I really liked in the machine was the control panel. Neatly designed and efficiently guarded, this panel uses LED which is all the more attractive. Technology to the max. Simply wonderful to work on.


Advantages:- I personally believe, automatic washing machine are for those people who go on a job. They stay out the whole day and so if they pre-program the machine, they just have to take the clothes out for a press. Moreover the kind of cleaning it gives makes it trustworthy.


Disadvantages:- One main disadvantage of this machine is that, it does the job in its own pace. You have to wait till it does the job. Whats more annoying is the fact that water consumption is really too much. I don’t think, this kind of washing machine is suited for people living in water scarce areas like Chennai. It consumes too much water, really. It is a water glutton. To sum it up, I can say that this product from whirlpool, the Autosparkle, is very efficient and gives a sparkling wash. With proper maintenance, this machine can give you tremendous boost. All you need to do is to wait till it washes and fulfil its water needs. But Yes, with Whirlpool, one of the best brands around, you can always lay some trust on it.


A good Machine
Feb 07, 2002 04:40 PM 10176 Views

Hi,


Whirlpool is a good machine basically. Their customer support is also good. We have been using it for quite sometime. Honeslty our Washing Machine has gone down atleast 20 times , they have replaced vistually the whole washing machine except for the body all free of cost till now. But I presume it is the only problem with piece we got. Becasue we know many other people using the same machine evey one is happy with the machine. We are also happy with the machine and it functionally and since they have a very long warranty period also we are not much worried about the machine going down.


Wash Day Already?
May 05, 2001 06:03 AM 12535 Views

I am speaking of the Whirlpool Super-Capacity Full-sized Washer here (hope I have the right product category).


Throughout my life, I have owned, a total of 4 sets of washers and dryers. Two were used sets and two were brand new (my first new set was given to my daughter after she got married). I would strongly recommend saving up to buy new. My present set was bought in February 2000, so they are about 15 months old. I think that is long enough to merit a fair review.


I purchased a matching set of Whirlpool products, but let's focus on their Whirlpool (Super-Capacity) Washer, for now. I'm not one to read appliance instructions at my age. I feel by this time, I can go into an appliance store ask for one that will handle my needs and the rest is old hat, as far as how to wash the clothes. I must say though this was not always the case. So for those who are purchasing new for the first time, ask questions and get advice from your friends. I chose to buy this product because of the Whirlpool's reputation for dependability and reliability. 


Years back when I was a child; everyone hung their laundry out to dry, leaving their washer/ user abilities visible for the neighborhood to see. I still hang my wash out, as I live on a big old farm, in rural Ontario. I feel my new washer helps, do me proud. I am a clean fanatic and more often then not find laundry to wash, so the washer had better be ready for constant work. This one is up to the job.


It has a large wash drum to handle an over-sized load, while maintaining the ability to thoroughly cleaning the entire load. The more clothes washed within one load, the less loads, the more time for other things (you do the math, works for me!). I raised 7 children and was one, who washed each child's winter coat, weekly (one every night of the week), so I know the advantage of a washer having the ability to handle heavy items as well, the (Super-Capacity)Washer is up to the task. This would go for over-sized items such as comforters and heavy work clothes, like overalls.


I would suggest you use the bleach/ fabric softener dispenser in the machine as it really does prevent bleach spots and disperses the liquids evenly. I find the washer is quiet and smooth running, as well. I looked up the instruction book before writing this review and was surprised to see they even offer load sizes and examples (here is one such example)


Super sized load (not bad at all)


3 pairs slacks


3 shirts


4 pairs of jeans


2 pair overalls


My example (of a good sized load)


2 sheets and matching pillowcases


2 bath towels & 2 face clothes


1 tablecloth, 4 tea towel & 4 dish clothes


I double comforter


2 dress shirt


The Whirlpool(Super-Capacity) is a great washer, for a growing family. One, that can handle, a little more than an average washing machine. It carries a 1-year-warranty but I would suggest the 5-year-extended warranty where available (there is also a 10-year extended-warranty on this product, where available).


This is definitely getting your money's worth.


Whirlpool Super Plus

Semi-Automatic two-tub Model


Look


Features


Style


Approx. Price Rs. 10385


Top Loading


Capacity 5.9 Kgs.


3 wash options


Cycle end buzzer


Rust proof steel spin basket


Rat mesh


The machine has a top loading facility with 6 kg’s . capacity. Top loading is good since front loading creates a lot of problems, as I came to know from somebody. The machine has an agitator system and three wash programmes and the washing is excellent. Even the collars and sleeves come out clean. The agitator system is too good, it has the plastic pipe, which rotates clothes and increases pressure due to which the dirt just vanishes.


The drier is the best as it squeezes maximum water tightly and almost dries the clothes. Though it is semi automatic and technically inferior, I like it because the company is the best and the product is excellent.It has a good fibre body too.


The shape of the machine is like a box and wheels are of bad quality hence, difficult to move. Else the machine is near perfect.

This machine has great capacity and works really well. The ability to move large amounts of clothing around is especially really good. It has quite a few wash cycles with varying amounts of agitation. I like the integrated agitator- fabric softener dispenser. The other washer, did not have that, never had as many off balance spin problems as we did with the other machines. This washer is also much quieter, always a plus.


I really like the load capacity of this machine, its very quiet, and gets the clothes very clean this machine also has very user friendly features like pre-wash and soak features. Strong performer with excellent build quality. It runs fairly quiet and does a fine job in all cleaning modes. I compared it to other manufacturers in its price range and found that the Whirlpool offered better features and especially build quality than the others (within comparable price range).


Poor quality
Nov 18, 2000 12:14 AM 10510 Views

Five years back I purchased TVS-Whirlpool fully automatic Washing machine. That was the beginning of my nightmare. The machine carried 3 years warranty. During the warranty period the machine failed to work atleast 12 times and the technician had to be summoned. They performed some patchwork and the machine would start working for another 2 - 4 months. This problem continued. After the warranty the problem recurred again. This time the technician was smart. He suggested that the machine requires certain major replacement which would cost Rs. 9000/- plus. Well that is fleecing the customer for you. I decided to discard the machine instead of repairing and went ahead and purchased an LG fully automatic fuzzy logic washing machine. I can now proudly say that 'LG hai right choice Ha! Ha!'. I have lost all confidence on Whirlpool
