Believe it or not, there are people who do love their Cabrio & Bravos washers. There is another forum where some folks have said that it gets even really dirty clothes clean, then you have those that say the exact opposite. Each group of people seemed to be detailed with their statements so I can only assume they were following directions and knew how to use the machine propery. So I have no idea what to think when it comes to these type of machines. Personally, I wouldn't want one based on the washing/Rinsing action videos I've seen.

That Cabrio video is using A LOT of water. No wonder you don't have any complaints. The vids I've seen don't use nearly that much water. Is this the Bulky Cycle or something? Or perhaps your machine is from 2005 (not current ones being sold) could be the reason it uses more water? I wouldn't have a problem owning this washer if it used that much water.

I think the model Cabrio / Bravo with direct drive motor is more efficient to have a strong rotation and recirculation that helps to wet the clothes and dilute the soap. |

These machines work quite well and almost all of our customers that have them like them overall. I feel the worst thing about them are long cycles. I still like he Calypso better as it is more aggressive and rinses better, but it can be harder on clothing if you chose the wrong cycles and don't sort properly.
There have been a lot of main seal and bearing failures on Cabrio style machines and like FL washers most of these are traceable to using too little and or cheap detergents and cold water washing. The good news is that you can now have just the bearings shaft and seal assembly replaced without replacing the entire outer tub. |

Thats the big thing about the newer style machines.......EDUCATION....not like they actually knew what they are doing with a regular traditional TLer....but as with anything, people don't learn from the mistakes, and its easier to blame a machine than themselves for poor results or machine failure......
just read another article in the paper of proper washing......and the main thing is to conserve energy.....as usual....but yet none are comparing how much energy you can save over a 3 gallon hot wash versus what the dryer consumes to dry a load, when theres free energy from the sun to hang your clothes out to dry!... theres all talk about the washers....but none about the dryer..... |
