I have only had a few minor issues with the Whirlpool Duet and I am so excited to say I have discovered the solution to them! In the month and a half that I have had this set, my laundry is honestly more manageable. My clothes don’t smell like mildew anymore and my hampers are staying emptier!
Note, I said emptier. Not empty. I am not superwoman.
The Whirlpool Duet has a ton of specialty cycles and I have only used maybe 1/4 of them. What helps me the most with my laundry is the easy dispense, huge load capacity, and the cute little chimes. The mildew problem was because my old washer did not have an alarm, so I didn’t recognize when it was completed. This meant I left clothes in there far longer than I should have. Now with the cute little ding ding ding DINGS of the alarm I can switch the clothes immediately.
My only issue really was the detergent dispenser for powdered detergent. I was having issues with the machine leaving behind 3/4 of the detergent. This happened with the Tide washing machine cleaner too. After troubleshooting with the Whirlpool team we came to the conclusion I need to wash in cool water since I have hard well water. Other Duet owners suggested I put the powdered detergent directly in the drum with my clothes.
Would you like to meet my set? Here is a little video I made where I take you through all the settings and show you inside my drawers! (oh la la!)
I wrote this review while participating in a test-drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Whirlpool and received a complimentary Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer to facilitate my review.
Oh those are sooo nice! If only… ahhh! I want them. My dryer is sooooooooooo loud and sqeauky I have to put loud music on when I run it! UGH!
that washer/dryer duet is a thing of beauty. and i am so happy for you that it has helped you stay up with the laundry – it’s amazing how much of it the little people make!
Like you, I have barely scratched the surface with all the specialty cycles, but little by little, I’m trying them out!
Great review. My friend and I have a laundry service from our homes. We would love to have these in our laundry rooms! Not only are they pretty but from everyones reviews they are time and energy savers.
