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.
