Interesting Malcolm, but not completely surprising. I have been surprised in the past when reading appliance reviews at just how stupid many consumers are. This is just another case.
The stupid consumer that tipped the scales for me was a reviewer of the very well rated Admiralpool set at Home Depot, in this case the dryer. The dryer offers Auto Sense Dry and two timed cycles, one with high heat and one with low heat. Both timed cycles are short - like 30 or 35 mins, but this is to encourage people to use the auto-dry. The reviewer says "I am sending this dryer back tomorrow. BAD design, I have to run each cycle twice because it doesn't allow enough minutes to dry." I am guessing that the reviewer has no idea even what auto-dry is and isn't aware enough to notice it's there. DUH Are you going to comment on the Cabrio video, or should all of us?

me i think that the lady that bought that washer depending on the days or the year she had this washer should call her sales clerk and see if she can have it exchange for a classic top load washer or had a few towels to even her load even if its a smal load me in my eyes thats what i would buy or make a comparison first as this looks like the top load version of the duet front load washer. just my 2 cents here

 I don't have a YouTube ID or I'd post a caustic comment.
Typical ditzy female that has no clue. Washing a heavy load that includes towels on the delicate cycle? Complaining about wet clothes after stating she always selects slow spin speeds? Did she even read the owner's manual? I'll bet her kids could run a load of laundry without any problems.
What a completely brainless bimbo. Yeah, Cabrios may not have the best reputation but this machine doesn't even have a fighting chance to perform up to its full potential.
And then she suggests GE or Samsung instead. Yeah, like anybody should listen to her. I hope she returns the Cabrio and gets a GE. Then she'll really find out what a junk machine is. | ||

Seems like our illustrious laundry-doer doesn't like our comments, and has deleted almost all of them except her own.
Also seems like Whirlpool would/should have an issue with video posters like this. They have replaced the machine apparently and yet she is leaving the video up without stating that. | ||

It is true though that a lot of newer machines, on both sides of the Atlantic, are very fussy about balancing the load before spinning. It's understandable that users will find this kind of thing frustrating. | ||

"Also seems like Whirlpool would/should have an issue wi I agree. If they had blown her off, yeah, but they made it good. Even if the bearings and springs had problems, and it wasn't user error, bad machines roll off the assembly line. It happens. It's unfair to leave the video up without commenting that Whirlpool took care of the situation. They held up their end of the bargain. | ||

I thought the same thing Brian, and I suggested that if Lowes/Whirlpool took care of the problem maybe she should remove the video, so I guess she did, LOL.

Damn!!! Wow this woman takes the cake. It's unbalanced and on the wrong cycle. If there are six people in her house, she isn't going to waste her time washing only a few towels(or I wouldn't). That will destroy a he washer faster than anything(under-loading). | ||

Glitch: I’m assuming there is an embedded video or a link to a video in Malcolm’s post at the top of the thread. Am I the only one for whom that post is devoid of any content? I’m viewing on a 6th generation iPad using Safari as the browser.

just curious.....
how many people HERE, read your cars owner manual?...from every car you have ever owned...
page by page, front to back.....not just jumping to areas you need info on!..... how about: medicare/health insurance book? medication pamphlet? home owners/car insurance packet? mortgage paperwork? hidden instructions inside the box of condoms? better yet, how many have fully read all the rules, regulations and conditions of joining this site?.....how many don't abide by them?....you wouldn't want to make Robert's life easy now would you?... and I know theres loads of fine print that comes with a credit card....interest rate, fees, grace periods, late payments, contact info, benefits, etc... BTW...my card has buyer protection, low interest, automatic membership into AARP and AAA, hotel and car rental discounts, freq flyer miles, and cash back.....What's in your wallet? | ||

Gone for me too.
Using Safari.
P.S. I haven't read any of the above. I open the manual when I need a specific question answered and I jump to that page. I obtain electronic copies for all that I can so I can do a quick search and get what I need. When it comes to reading everything else, it would take a court order and I'm not sure that would do it.
For example, just yesterday we went to sign papers to refinance on our house (by the way great rates right now if you're thinking you want to refinance). The title company did a curbside closing which I liked. However, the too of us were signing and initialing for I don't know how many pages. Did I read it all, hell no. I read the page that had the numbers on it only to make sure they got them right and they fixed the spelling of Joe's last name. I bet we signed and initialed 50 or more pages sitting in the car. | ||

I saw the video in Malcolm's post and this woman was stupid. You guys should post comments on the lg washer video I linked in this thread. Both owners of these new high-tech washers and dryers are indeed stupid. | ||

Owners manuals and they drawers they live in......
I'm always telling people either how to start their power equipment or run it when they pic it up after a repair when they claim its always been hard starting and running. They may as well have just threw the owners manual in the recycling bin as soon as they got it home as its doing as much good sitting in a drawer or garage shelf where they threw it after unboxing the item.

OK, I have to step in here.
For everyone asking about the video at the top of this page, just a reminder that this thread is 9 years old. The video was probably deleted 8 years ago after she resolved the issue or got a new machine, I'm guessing. Jerome, please try not to post comments or try to coerce others to do so on the LG video that you linked. That particular video is THIRTEEN, yes 13 years old. I guarantee you that his issues were dealt with over a decade ago and this machine was made into a KIA long before we even celebrated New Year's Day in 2009. Not trying to be a moderator, just trying to inform.

I only come here for the humor.....
but anyway, warning labels are only placed on products, because you know, someone tried something bizarre, the company got sued, and now we have updated warning labels.... check out curling iron warning labels.....do not insert appliance into any orifices'!..... same thing for Preparation H....do not take by mouth..... sad part is, you know someone did!

The only thing missing from this thread--besides the original video--is the perfect soundtrack, and this 1968 classic from The Legendary Stardust Cowboy is it! Sarah Vaughan and The Ledge were on the same label. Let that sink in. | ||

Here's a thought... Excuse me if I revive this thread once again, but I have a thought. We will just let these consumers destroy the machines due to user error, then go on the news about why their fancy machine destroyed itself. Enough said. | ||
