WHIRLPOOL "Ultimate Care" Heavy Duty Super Capacity PLUS

When I moved into the studio that I currently rent, it came with a washer and dryer. At first, I was hesitant to use a pre-owned (probably highly abused) washing machine, but after I used it, I never looked back. I don't have the model number, but here is the information that I can find. WHIRLPOOL "Ultimate Care" Heavy Duty Super Capacity PLUS. Supreme 8 cycle 2 Speed Motor. That just about sums it up.

I can put really, really large items in this washer, like sleeping bags and duvets. Occasionally, it will unbalance, but that is quite rare, and causes no complications except for that loud banging that comes with an unbalanced machine.

The machine's settings go from the heaviest "superwash" all the way down to 'delicates' and 'handwashables'. I can't explain how easy this machine makes doing laundry. I have only ever had one problem with it, and that was when I overloaded it, and the fill up water started to overflow from the tub. It was completely my fault for not following the load instructions properly, and now that I know what caused the very small leak, it has never happened again.

This washer was approx. 2 yrs old before I began using it, and I've been using it for 3 years - almost daily, as I run a wardrobe rental house. It runs quietly enough that I can do loads of laundry and still conduct business in house or on the phone.

It has economical settings as well as super wash settings, so just about anything can be washed for anybody in this machine. I would recommend this machine to anyone who was looking to buy. It seems well made, I've never needed it serviced, and I use it probably more than a normal household would. (I bring in my laundry from home because I prefer this machine to the one I have at home!)
