Well from what I've seen on youtube
just absolutely don't overload it and you should be OK.
My dryer has auto dry too (similar to this dryer) I LOVE IT. We had a discussion of auto dry vs sensor dry. From what I understand, auto dry just "guestimates" but it's guestimation is pretty good. Not perfect. You have to sort of play around with it do get a feel of where to turn the dial to get best results based on the typical loads you dry. | ||

The reason for getting new hoses is that the old hoses wear out. I'd say get new hoses UNLESS you're like me and turn the hot/cold off at the washer when you're done doing laundry, so if there ever is a burst it won't flood your house. I trained myself to reach back and turn them off because the hoses on my Duet are the age of the machine, which is almost 17 yrs. It says on the hoses to replace after 5 years. LOL. Anyway, I'm not sure which are the best hoses.

It's a shame if you were going to go with the vmw design then you should have got the Amana NTW4516FW3. Hope for Good Fortune with this machine for you. | ||

OMG... are you really sure you want this washer? It kinda.... SUCKS! Ok, I'm exaggerating and being too generous.... It's the worst washer I've ever owned. DEPRESSIVE wash action. Watching lawn growing is more exciting.... It's slow... horribly slow... the heavy duty looks like delicate. and it simply doesn't clean at all. | ||

I was hoping you would be able to have the dryer fixed. That would've been my first choice personally. Otherwise I would've just kept the washer at least. It doesn't make much sense in my opinion to replace the whole set while one of them still works fine than the other. Last year my brother purchased a Maytag that performs just like the one you're planning on getting, they're not impressed. It takes twice as long to wash compare to their old top loader they used to have. Cleans poorly. The washer costed them more than their other one they bought previously. And they're not expecting it to last for very long. Anyways, I also hope you'll like them. Who knows, maybe you might like them afterall. But honestly, I'm not sold on the wash action of the washer from that video you shared.

LAME washer----STUPID design.The auger should be made to rotate-pull the clothes down.If the top is fixed-just put straight vanes on it.WILL NOT BUY A WASHER LIKE THIS!!!!GO VINTAGE!!!!!The base "vanes " are pitiful-of course this machine is designed for very shallow fill and small load. | ||

"to be precise do not really need fancy tech for the washer as long as it cleans and his simple is what is important..." That's exactly the problem... On the very first cycle, you'll discover this darn thing doesn't clean AT ALL! The clothes barely move, to be more accurate. | ||

One of the things that I love about vacuum stores compare to most department chains is you can try a vacuum out before you buy to see if you like it or not. It's a shame though that it's harder to do with laundry products. Personally, I would feel annoyed if I bought a washer that I would later not like then having to waste time packing it up to either return it or exchange it for something else. My sister-n-law regretted not returning their Maytag when they had a chance. They can still trade it in but unfortunately it would just be more money wasted down in the drain for them.
If I honestly bought a new washer today and if it HAD to be a Maytag, it would be their commercial model. I honestly think it's well worth spending two hundred more on something that cleans BETTER than the other model but also more basic. I'm not sure what price differences there are in Canada but if price is more of a concern, I agree with agiflow, I would've also gone with the Amana. | ||

its a shame that consumer reports is almost entirely paywalled. It would also be really nice if stores had functional demo units that you could do a load in to see how it handled your laundry, though I do see why that isn't really a thing currently. | ||

I agree with Egress. There needs to be demo videos and even appliance stores where you can try them yourself to see how you like it. It's like taking a car for a test drive. | ||

Matched Sets I do not understand the desire for matched pairs unless [ just maybe ] the machines are in your living room.
My range and DW do not match, My mixer and toaster oven do not match [ even though they sit SXS ]
My washers and dryers are in the basement next to the furnace and water heater [ they don't match ]
If you think Washers & Dryers must match you might want to think just how much your decision process has been dictated by people trying to sell you things that you probably do not need.
My most important requirement is great performance and reliability and repairability, overall most matched sets ever built are a compromise, I prefer not to compromise.

Matching Duets Pierre, I am talking about all the plastic on the front of the washer.
They did not match because Whirlpool could not get the colors to match because the washer was built in Germany and the dryer was built in Ohio.
I am just trying to make the point that it is silly to throw away expensive things that still work well.
Can you imagine if every time you bought a new car your husband had to get a new matching car because they both sit out in front of your house.
It is something to think about in this world as we all confront Climate Change, used appliances generally do not get a 2nd life, at least cars almost always get sold to another owner.

I have to ask
What's the big deal? So what if someone wants their laundry pair to match. I bought matching pairs last time, I probably wouldn't have but there was a sale going on and I got the dryer for "free" when buying the washer. Otherwise I may not have bought the dryer. Though I did, at the time, want the steam dryer. I hardly ever use steam. In fact, I hardly ever use the dryer when weather permits.
So I do hereby decree, it is ok to have a matching washer and dryer if you want them. | ||

Pierre, what's the model numbers for both the washer & dryer? I like this dryer because of the side-swing door. I have to have a side-swing door rather than a drop down door.

Personally it’s interesting Whirlpool has come back to some degree of sense with bringing back the agitator. Although for me I’d never ever buy anything that has a lid lock, that’s an immediate N.O. Because it generally dictates that the entire machine is full of electronics. HE has got to be the worst tragedy that’s ever struck the appliance industry.
Keep us updated with the reliability of this machine as I’m curious. My family bought a brand new speed Queen TR5 today, I love it but I’m not impressed by the new agitation method that’s in place. | ||

Reply # 60 A 3.5 CF TL Washer Holds As Much My Old 4.2 CF FL Washer ?
Thats ridicules normally a 2 CF FL washer will hold about the same load as a 4 CF TL washer.
When comparing capacity of TL Vs FL machines a TL washer needs to be about twice as large to hold the same amount of clothing as a FL washer.
FL washers are designed to be packed full of dry dirty laundry, you can not do that with TL washers if you want to clothing to circulate and turn over at all.
You must have had a really lame FL washer, LOL

thank you pink power
thank you pinkpower i like something thats easy and there is a way to have a good washer dryer set with out having to pay a fortune and that can get the job done and the reason i went back to a top load is because i am 6 foot tall and do not have to sit down to take the clothes out or load the washer, plus i would add that if needed might be usefuil to have deep fill or need on the final choice the extra power button on the dial stains or extra wash time

Strong opinions
Like so many here, I’ve been on this site for many years and the one thing I have learned is that some have very, very strong opinions. Some are rooted in experience, some based on what they hear others say and some opinions are just stupid in my opinion, but you have to take it all with a grain of salt. Everyone has different criteria they use when making a decision for which appliance they will buy.
I almost didn’t buy the dryer we have today because some said I would wait for hours and hours for a load of clothes to dry. I went ahead with the purchase because it met my needs. Waiting hours and hours for a load to dry hasn’t been my experience and I am very happy with the one we bought. | ||
