Whirlpool WTW4800XQ Top-Loader Washer

I spent some time reviewing both Consumers Reports and customer reviews from Amazon and the like before purchasing a washer.

I noted a number of complaints about the new, "efficient" washers in general (not specifically Whirlpool):

1. They don't wash as clean

2. They don't rinse properly, leaving detergent residue on clothes

3. They wrinkle clothing during the new (much faster) spin cycle

4. They are noisy and take more time to do a load.

The main problem is that they all use less water than the old "Inefficient" washers, and the water they do use is cooler. Also, they often only "spin rinse" where they spin out the washing water and then spray in some fresh water while still spinning. (This is in place of a proper, old-fashioned rinse, where the clothes are agitated in a tub of fresh water.) All these changes (I won't call them improvements) are in order to save water and, more specifically, to save the energy used to heat the water. In addition, they spin much faster to get out more water so that you subsequently use less energy in the dryer.

Nice in theory, but the washing results often aren't as good.

My solution to this was to look for a washer with the most manual adjustments on it; and I chose to purchase the Whirlpool WTW4800XQ, having first READ THE MANUAL online. I discovered that, for lightly soiled clothes, I can (and do) use the "Casual Regular" cycle, which has a proper rinse instead of the spin rinse. This option also spins at a lower speed, causing less wrinkling. I can also choose my own water level. Thus, I'm basically back to how our old washer worked, with good results.

If I have to use the "Normal Regular" cycle for more-soiled clothes, it will only do a spin-rinse, but I have the option with this washer of adding a second rinse to the cycle in case one won't do.

The Whirlpool won't solve complaint #4, although I don't find it terribly noisy, just different. A "Normal Regular" wash, large load, with additional spin-rinse, took 75 minutes; a "Casual Regular" wash, medium load, took 55 minutes.

All in all, a good, basic washer that I have good control over, and at a very reasonable price: If you don't do dozens of washes a month, you don't need a high-efficiency washer that will cost you many hundreds of dollars more.

WHIRLPOOL WTW4800XQ

Here is the breakdown.

THE' PROS:

Large capacity

Gets Clothes clean

THE' CONS:

*The overly sensitive computer

*The lid lock failure

*Tendency to go out of balance easily

*Holes in clothes

*Hot water valve may melt in time

*Chewed up several items in just a week.

*No hot water. (The machine will automatically add cold water to hot so you get cold or tepid water, not even warm). My hot water in July was 100 degrees. This is barely warm.My water temp is 148 degrees but machine will not allow you to use hot water or even warm water.

*No soak feature

*Not very quiet, makes strong computer noises. Some reviewers say it is like a hack saw. I don't think it is that bad but it is not quiet in a condo environment.

*USLESS 'Technical Dept. (Whirlpool tech dept seems to have no training. You might as well pull a girl off the register at your local market for help.)

I had read there were a few people who had trouble with the lid lock not working correctly. I thought it was just an oddball. I had to return the unit because the lid lock would not allow water into the machine as it kept locking and unlocking. (yes! the water was on!). The first load was fine. The second wash load the lid lock would not stop locking and unlocking after one hour. I'made sure the clothes were evenly balanced in the machine. So'I unplugged the machine and let it rest for 15 minutes. The same process happened again--I let the machine lock and unlock for an hour. I'unplugged it again and let it rest. Tried this several times over 24 hours to no avail. The store I bought the machine from sent a repairman. He did not fix it--the machine just happened to work. When the repairman left I did a load ('this was my third load of wash since I bought the machine) and the same thing happened. It was quite arduous to get my money back.

What is supposed to happen?--The lid lock will lock and unlock until it feels the load is balanced. This is normal. But it is not normal if the machine locks and unlocks for hours. This is what happened to me.

Also when I went to go purchase another washer from another store, the manager said they had a lot of problems with the WTW4800XQ because in time the hot water valve would melt. Yes, according to this manager of the store just 120 degree water out of the tap was enough to deform the hot water valve. He thinks Whirlpool has been trying to remedy this problem. But he could not say for sure if they fixed this error. Whew! I feel I dodged a bullet with this machine

PAY ATTENTION to those people who say that they have a lid lock failure and the machine goes out of balance easily. These are real problems and I encountered them both plus holes in my clothes.

This WTW4800XQ got the clothes clean but it did not work consistently and it went out of balance frequently and easily. My new SpeedQueen 432 is a dream of a washer. Read my other review on SpeedQueen 432 to see how amazing this machine is and what you need to be aware of with the new government regulations.

After my WhirlPool WTW4800XQ washer was installed, I did a few

loads and there was a spot about the size of a quarter under the

machine. The next day after using the machine most of the day,

there was a small puddle of brownish oil/water with surrounding

brownish spray under the machine. It appears the washer leaked

water and also a significant amount of oil.

I detected the leak by sliding a white plastic tray top from a

storage container under the machine, but I expect that newspaper

slid under the machine would also work. If I had not done this,

then I probably wouldn't have been aware of this leak, since I

normally don't do a lot of laundry.

Another reviewer described the sound this washer makes as

"eeee eeee eeee eeee" which is pretty accurate. I am not certain

but given other internet reviews, I assume this sound is normal

for this machine. I think the loudness went down as I did more

loads and with higher water levels. After a while I didn't

notice the sound.

I had no problems with the lid lock feature, at least during Fill

and early in the Wash cycle. The lid unlocked quickly every time

I tested it.

I liked the fact that I could just press Start if I used the same

settings as before. There was no need to rotate a dial back to the

same position as the last load.

I would have kept this machine if it didn't leak. All I need is a

basic washing machine but the leak seemed to imply poor

reliability/longevity and this factor is very important to me.

Want Washer Discount?

I don't understand the bad ratings on this product.

It is a cheapie washer. I paid $359 at Lowes.

Yes it is different from the old washer. It clunks and makes noises when you first start the cycle. This is the self balancing feature. Washes fine and no problems so far.

Yes, there is a little hacksaw noise, but not any noisier than any other washer I have had?

Yes, the lid does lock. But you can hit the stop/start button and it opens right up if you forgot to add anything.

So far, so good! I would have given it a 5, but that will only come after 5 years.

My new washer doesn't even fill enough to cover the clothes... so how can they call this thing a "washing machine?" It's truly an expensive laundry basket. Not only do the clothes NOT get washed and rinsed properly, but the agitator beats the Hell out of the clothes. I called Whirlpool's customer service and found the representative belligerent. The machine is going back immediately, and I've lost all faith in the Whirlpool company. If they can engineer and dump a unit such as this on their customers, and then treat them like dirt, there's no end to how they are willing to scam us. NO WHIRLPOOL PRODUCTS... EVER!

Pure Source Filter 2 Pack Wf3cb

Pure Source Filter 2 Pack Wf3cbIt's just what my refrigerator filter system calls for. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick. I will definitely use this service again when ordering the next filters.

The first filter I used quit working within 2 weeks after installing it. Water slowly came out the water dispenser on my refrigerator just like a 5-6 month old filter and it wouldn't make ice. The second one in the pack has been working good since installed.

Presto 05420 FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer

Presto 05420 FryDaddy Electric Deep FryerI've had one of these little fryer appliances since they first became popular in the seventies. The current model is the second one I've had, being larger than the original model that came out.

For someone not needing to fry enormous amounts at one time, this little machine is ideal. It requires only a very small amount of vegetable oil. I've used it to fry chicken wings, quickly, to do french fries and onion rings, to do other smaller chicken parts, and it works beautifully. There is no thermostat; you just plug it in, wait 10 minutes, and the temp is 375. Having such a small amount of grease, it recovers heat more quickly than an electric skillet.

When you are through, if you plan to reuse the grease you can simply let the machine cool, snap the plastic top on, the put the whole thing in the fridge. I don't fry that often, and when I do, I tend to fry a lot, so usually I just discard the oil. Such a small amount is used (usually no more than 3 cups starting out) that I don't feel bad about discarding the oil.

The sides on this appliance are quite high, and splatter around the machine has never been a problem. I used common sense, though, when I fry, whether it's here or on the stove.

I'm sure the all-enclosed auto-fryers that are out on the market are nice, and if I fried a lot I'd probably get one. However, I only fry once or twice a month, and for that, this little machine is perfect. I'd recommend one to anyone--durable, simple, and does exactly what it's designed for!

After spending more money on 2 faulty deep fryers (Rival is hit-or-miss for quality), I've finally settled on this little beauty.

Pros:

1.) Cheap and simple, a very compact and minimalist package overall. It is nothing more than a steel bucket with a heating element underneath.

2.) Fries at 350 degrees, 25 short of "ideal" but safe for cooking with lard and lower smoke point oil. Try lard if you never have, you can still get it in supermarkets.

3.) Milled steel bucket, cast aluminum base. Inside has a permanent synthetic non-stick surface. Clean up and changing oil is simple.

Cons:

1.) This fryer isn't for families with young children or dumb people. Hot oil is always dangerous to work around and this unit is a STEEL BUCKET FULL OF OIL. The outside is hot. The inside is hot. It's hot.

2.) Doesn't have a lid to stop the occasional spatter.

3.) The bottom and healing element are shielded, but it will still warm up your synthetic countertop. I have mine on an old wooden cutting board to avoid warping the plastic.

I fry things about 1-2 times a week, and I liked my fried things to be very crispy yet not laden with oil. I wanted something that would truly get to a hotter frying temperature, to make my frying quicker and more "healthful"...(healthy frying....is that an oxymoron or what?) Because I don't fry THAT often, I just needed something simple.

I like this fryer because the heat-up time is very quick, and there is much less splatter then if you were frying in a pot. When I fry, I usually do your typical fried foods: fries, onion rings, wontons, etc. I have not tried to do anything else in it yet.

If the oil is fairly clean after I use it, I will put it in the refridgerator, but not keep more than a week. This is a very simple fryer. If you are a more heavy-duty fryer, then you might want to look into a fancier one. The exterior is not cool-touch, and there is no basket. If you only do small batches of things, and don't really fry that much, or even if you do, then this will be a great fryer for you.

This machine is really easy to use...I fried dough to make funnel cake and donuts, and it was simple. All you have to do is put in your oil, heat it up, and add the dough. The number of things you can fry is endless. My personal favorites are the funnel cake, chicken tenders, and french fries. Depending on what you are making, cooking time can vary from mere minutes to a half hour. Experiment, create your own recipes, it's easy.

One word of advice is to make sure to clean the fryer and change the oil regularly. Nothing is worse than frying with old oil. Keep the fryer very clean! Enjoy!

Want Presto 05420 FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer Discount?

For years I've avoided making my own fried foods, as I had no luck frying in pans or my wok. My husband suggested a FryDaddy, remembering their commercials from the 1970s. We've had it for over a month and have used it several times, and it's been terrific. We've used it for shrimp and tempura thus far. It's nice to free up a burner on the stove by using this countertop item.

Browning is kind of tricky at first, because this gadget fries really quickly, faster than their instruction guide indicates. Fried shrimp for po' boys took 2 minutes at the most to get brown. Once I scooped out a couple batches of shrimp the oil level went down a bit, and the temperature increased, nearly burning next batch. I recommend adding more oil to the fill line if this happens. Also, the oil will splatter, so I use a splatter screen over the top to prevent a big mess.

It's not the easiest to clean and the cord is inconvenient. For safety reason, the FryDaddy has a short cord and recommends you not use an extension. Unless you're lucky enough to have an outlet right next to your table, this won't be a tabletop item sort of a bummer if you want to make tempura at the table! Second, this unit is a bit hard to clean. The cord has a habit of collecting batter that drips, and of course the FryDaddy cannot be immersed in water. I clean the unit by pouring hot water into it with a little dish soap to soak for a few minutes. After I pour it out, I wipe clean with paper towels and let dry.

Whirlpool EL88TRRWQ Sidekick 17.7 Cu. Ft. White Refrigerator - Energy Star

Whirlpool EL88TRRWQ Sidekick 17.7 Cu. Ft. White Refrigerator - Energy Star
  • ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA

Great idea, and seemingly great value,but it won't last even 5 years before needing to replace, due to insufficient cooling. Get a better brand and at least 10 year warranty. I've read other reviews from other sites saying the same thing. Whirlpool was of no help what so ever.

Kalorik Mini Cooler, Red

Kalorik Mini Cooler, Red
  • Patented design
  • Can cooler with automatic dispenser function
  • Holds 12 cans
  • Chrome handle and window frame
  • 6 press buttons : only press a button and retrieve cold can in the dispenser area

I've been searching high and low for a really cool soda machine for my kitchen! I saw this one and decided to purchase it. After using it for about 4 weeks, I noticed there was a lot of water standing in the bottom of the machine. I contacted the company and they assured me this was normal. I made the wrong decision to go ahead and keep the machine.

It has only been a few short weeks since then and now the machine don't work at all! It has stayed plugged in and not moved around, it's not been mistreated in any way. It was working fine one day, then the next it just completely stopped. My window for returns is closed now so what do I do? I am stuck with a $200 machine that I enjoyed for just a few weeks. To top that off, this was a Christmas present. What a disappointment!

Buy Kalorik Mini Cooler, Red Now

I've had this machine for about 3 years and it's still going strong. Let me give you the pros and cons of the machine

PROS

Holds 12 cans of soft drinks. Before I got it, I only expected it to have 6. But it decided to surprise me by adding another space right behind the one visible in the door.

It has a built-in refrigerating system to keep all of the drinks nice and cool.

The hardware is very sturdy. I weigh a lot and this machine still has enough strength to support me, though I don't do it very often.

Nice old-fashioned design. It looks like drink machines did in the 60s.

It's small enough to fit in compact places. This can be very useful when you don't have a lot space to spare :)

CONS

Coolness cannot withstand outdoor heat. I tried selling drinks at a garage sale only to find that the drinks were moderately cold. If you plan on using this machine outdoors during the summer, I don't recommend this machine

No money slot. This is more of a gripe than a con, but it would be more convenient if the manufacturer had slapped a money slot into this thing.

Overall, great machine. If you plan on buying it for indoor use, go for it.

This is by far the coolest thing ie bought in awhile. It works as described and keeps the soda extremely cold. I get man compliments regarding this in my "movie theatre" basement. The only downside is the lack of a light inside. It would be cool if it lit up like other soda machines so that you could see the choices better in a dim,Ed environmen. But other than that..get it :)

Don't waste your money on these, it's a scam. They last just long enough that you can't return them after they die on you. I had two of them, cousin of mine had one, all three died within less than 3 months of use.

I bought this for my son's "boy cave" and he loves it. Every time a friend comes over they comment on how cool it is and how they wish they could get one. It keeps the cans cold enough to enjoy. There is a bit of noise to the motor but not a big deal.

NFL Washington Redskins Counter Top Refrigerator

NFL Washington Redskins Counter Top RefrigeratorI really like the product. It was everything that I expected from the pictures and information provided. And I was glad to finally get it because when I first ordered it and it was shipped out it got "lost" at one of the shipping stops so I had to contact Fed Ex and they put a trace on it but never located it so I then had to contact Amazon and they ended up having to reorder it but they were out of stock so I did not receive it when I initially wanted it but they did eventually get another in stock and shipped it out and it was sent with no problems because they did a two day ship. The only other issue I have is that the frige is covered with stickers for the Redskins logos and when I took it out of the packaging down the back left side of the frige the sticker was pulled away and caught on the plastic. I tried to stick it back and it worked somewhat but there was a few little tear spots in the sticker so I was very dissapointed in that. :-( But I finally have it and can finally give it as the gift I intended all along.

Amana Clean 'n Clear WF40, WF401 Water Filter

Amana Clean 'n Clear WF40, WF401 Water FilterThe generic filter is not similar to the original Amana filter and cannot be installed. There were no instructions included so any alternative installation methods could not be attempted. The configuration of the top of the filter is not similar to the original Amana filter.

I have an Amana refrigerator. Have been buying the Amana brand filters for 10 years. Decided to give the Water Sentinel brand a try. They simply don't fit. I'm incredibly disappointed because the box has the replacement model number (WF401) right on it. No go.

The design of the product was not the same as the one it was to replace that I have received before. The one received would not fit into the receiving ring on the refrigerator as it was too large. I had to pay return postage for a product that was not compatible and I feel that the company should had offered free postage for a product that was not the same specifications.

These filters are a recent answer to the expense of replacement filters, and they are NOT the answer. My Kenmore takes filter #46-9014, a number clearly marked on the package of the Water Sentinel. And it does not fit. I trued screwing it in for 15 minutes, finally got what I thought was the "sweet spot", and then screwed it in. Upon trying to get water out of the fridge, water sprayed everywhere and did not come out of the spigot. Bad product.

Want Amana Clean 'n Clear WF40, WF401 Water Filter Discount?

I purchase these to try because I was tired of paying $50.0 for (1) Amana name brand filter. I bought two of these for less than $30.00. It fit fine and the water tastes as good as the Amana brand filter.

12 Bottle Wine Cooler,Semiconductor Technology,Electronic LED Thermostat

12 Bottle Wine Cooler,Semiconductor Technology,Electronic LED Thermostat
  • 12 bottle capacity countertop wine cellar
  • Sleek midnight black finish with clear glass door
  • Features energy efficient semi-conductor cooling technology
  • Eco-friendly design does not use refrigerants
  • Silent operation and no vibration to disturb the wine

Purchased this cooler July, 2009 and it stopped working in May, 2010. Didn't get around to calling the company until end of July and was told that I was out of luck as the warranty was up. Worst $100 I ever spent and I would NOT recommend purchasing any of their products. It should have lasted more than nine months.

Buy 12 Bottle Wine Cooler,Semiconductor Technology,Electronic LED Thermostat Now

I have owned this product for just about 9 months. It's dead. The first thing that went was the temperature indicator light, when it began to read either "99" or only in Celsius. Then it starting "cooling" only to 74 degrees. I found this product to be highly unreliable, inconsistent, and overall a very poor purchase. I do not recommend it to anyone. Complete waste of money. Only later did I find out (since searching for a replacement) how bad Danby's are in terms of temperature regulation. Won't make that mistake again. Warranty was no help.

I recieved this item around Christmas. I bought it for my mother for Christmas. When I set it up for her it took a few hours for it to get to the tempature recommended, and when it did it was all gravy. Its now been a month, and I asked my mother how has it been, she said its still doing great. It also has a blue LED light for you to see, or you just want to show off. My only "thumbs down" was that the company shipped my product to someone else, but they re-shipped it just in time for the holidays.

Green Filter for Samsung RM255LASH NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, C...

Green Filter for Samsung RM255LASH NSF Certified Refrigerator Water Filter, C...Works great with my Samsung RM255LASH. Fits right in the filter outlet. But when I tried to take it out of the filter outlet, I had to get a large enough pliers to pull it out. I guess I can live with that. Other than that, water tastes good and got no problems.

This product is a great replacement for the high cost factory filter for the Samsung fridge. We have used this filter for a few months now and have not lost any water pressure or experienced a degradation in the taste. I will definitely be buying this filter again from this company, THANK YOU!!!

Whirlpool W10124096 Condenser Motor for Refrigerator

Whirlpool W10124096 Condenser Motor for RefrigeratorThe fridge was getting hot on the sides and top, then I realized that the fan in was not blowing at all, so I replaced that motor so the condenser wouldn't 'burn out', it was pretty warm, and it is working great. I don't know if the wiring harness was even compatible with my fridge, but the existing wiring plugged into the new motor and we're back in business!

This condenser fan is an upgrade for the 2006 Whirlpool fridge. Included is a jumper cable to adapt the old connection from the fridge to the new fan. Fan was easy to install with ample instructions. When I plugged in the fridge, the fan started right up and was hard to hear. Very quiet and good quality. Shipping received 2 day ahead of scheduled delivery.

Buy Whirlpool W10124096 Condenser Motor for Refrigerator Now

This fan fits the OEM equipment but was a little difficult to install. Based on the how the old fan was removed, there was no way that this fan could be re-attached with the reversal of the same process. Since the screws for the old fan go in through the front and these go in through the back, there was no way to see to install the screws. I ended up removing the mounting bracket from the refrigerator, installing the new fan and then re-installing the mounting bracket. That was the only way to make this installation possible.
