Buying that or any Maytag will be like replacing your Whirlpool, for it is a Whirlpool underneath that sheet metal. I would recommend a front loader now more than ever because you can do more of a wash in one load than doing 4 in a top loader. The wash cycle maybe longer by 1/2 hour or more but you can save in water usage if you have to pay for it, detergent and saving in drying the load because of the faster spin speeds. The spin cycle is not that bad as long as the load is balance. The pump is a little loud but it beats the knocking of the agitator that is in your Whirlpool. I own a Direct Drive Kenmore and it is not that loud to me, but I'm used to it. To reduce the noise of any front loader, it must be level from front to back and side to side on concrete flooring if possible! The load must be mixed with light and heavy items together and hope for the best when it spins. |

Correction: Three pairs of jeans and a few shirts will go through far MORE wear and tear than they ever will in a wash cycle. Sorry about that. NorfolkSouthern |

Well I don't know your price range but we have a G.E. Harmony and it is near silent.There is no transmission its just a Direct Drive pancake motor.Its a top loader but its a H.E. kind there is no noise when its runing you dont have that constant drum of a motor going.Unlike all the other H.E. washers out there you can force it to fill all the way full by hitting the throw rug cycle.The Harmony is all stainless steel its not that new one out with the plastic infusor wash plate.We have had ours for 3 years and it runs 4 or more times a day and never had a problem with it.Its not cheap but it washes great compared to the frontloaders I have used.You fill it up and hit Vig wash and that thing will wash the hell out of anything.Its neat to watch with the glass lid on it.It uses a wash plate and the basket at the same time or not.We first got a frontloader and it was terrible,It would take over 3 hours to wash a load.The Harmony takes 50 mins most of the time but there are soooo many settings so its your choice.Even when spining out its very quite and 1050 Rpms to get the water out.

... the Kenmore Elite Oasis 2804 I've had it 2 years now, Does an Excellent Wash Job, is Quiet, has an Agitator with almost a 360" Arc of Agitation, 1000 RPM Spin Speed, and lots of options. It's on our 2nd floor and it is QUIET! Seriously, I Love it! Like anything today, it is made of plastic, so don't over load it. But I do a Super Size Load and everything gets great turn over! My Review USED to be the first one on there, but now not sure... Have had no problems with this washer and I do on average 2 loads a week. (1 White and 1 Color) Stuff to know... Normal wash will do Energy Saver Hot/Warm (so it's cool) and a Spray Rinse unless you choose either Fabric Softener or 2nd Rinse. But Heavy Duty will do HOT for Hot and Normal Warm. Whitest Whites will do a Traditional Wash and Rinse for a Top Loader. We had the Maytag Centennial Pair (they looked stunning) when they first came out, but they too were as loud as your Whirlpool (they the same machine after all) so switching over to the MayTag Centennial Pair, you probably won't hear any sound improvement. The other thing on our Centennial Pairs was that they were Grinding themselves up!! It may have just been a bad pair, but I see a lot of the same reviews and comments... Good Luck! ~Brant IX CLICK HERE TO GO TO brant_ix's LINK |

You will be delighted with a Speed Queen. I've had one for about six months now. It is perfect! |
