Whirlpool Duet Sport Front Loading Washer, Model WFW8300SWH

Deep cleans using less than half the water and energy required by traditional top-load washers. The versatile Duet Sport™ washer helps keep clothes looking great, from sweats to sweaters, and hand washables to heavy duty denims. This contemporary front-loader also offers flexible installation options such as stacked, undercounter or on 10 in. or 15 1/2 in. pedestals.

Features:

  • ENERGY STAR® Qualified
    ENERGY STAR® qualified to meet the Department of Energy standards for energy efficiency.
  • Front-Loading Washer
  • Ultra Efficient Design
    The Duet Sport™ washer uses 60% less water and 67% less energy in every load, compared to average traditional top load washers.
  • Ultra Capacity
  • Care Control Temperature Management
    The Care Control temperature management system keeps water warm enough to dissolve detergents for optimal cleaning and cool enough to help protect fabrics from shrinking and bleeding.
  • Deep Clean System
    The Anti-Escape valve ensures the maximum concentration of detergent is used in the wash cycle, while the Care Control System keeps temperatures optimal for detergent enzymes to work.
  • Quiet Wash Plus Noise Reduction
    Sound-absorbing materials on the top and sides help keep operational sounds inside the washer and out of living areas.
  • Stainless Steel Wash Basket
  • Innovative Suspension System
    An innovative suspension system features 'shock absorbers' that cushion the motion of the tub and inner drum, reducing vibration and noise so that an upper floor installation is possible.
  • 7 Factory Pre-Set Cycles
  • Clean Washer Cycle
    This special Clean Washer cycle helps keep the stainless steel basket and drum clean of detergent buildup and odor.
  • Delicate Cycle
    The delicate cycle has a low spin speed so that knit items are handled as gently as they require.
  • Heavy Duty Cycle
  • Normal/Casual Cycle
  • Quick Wash Cycle
    For lightly soiled loads, the Quick Wash cycle effectively cleans a few garments in just 28 minutes. Increased spin speeds also extract more water for faster drying times.
  • Whitest Whites Cycle
    Heated wash water, coupled with the accuracy of the Smart Bleach™ dispensing system, helps ensure loads of whites receive optimal cleaning performance.
  • Time Remaining Status Indicator
    A digital timer in the center of the control panel accurately shows the time reamining for every load.
  • Adjustable End-of-Cycle Signal
  • 3 Temperature Selections
  • Delay Wash
    Use Delay Wash to begin the cycle up to 6 hours later and save even more during off peak times when utility rates may be lower.
  • Drain/Spin Option
  • On/Off Extra Rinse Option
  • Rinse and Spin Option
  • 3-Tray Detergent, Bleach, Fabric Softener Dispenser
    Automatic detergent, bleach and fabric softener dispensers give you the freedom and confidence to load and go.
  • Automatic Water Level Control
    The Duet Sport™ washer can save up to 23 gallons of water per load. Built-in sensors regulate the amount of water used to match the size of the load so that only the absolute minimum water needed is used.
  • 1,050 RPM Maximum Spin Speed
  • Variable-Speed Motor
  • Door Window
  • Door Lock
    A selectable control that helps prevent accidental or unwanted use. The door lock function is a safety feature that can be easily turned on or off.
  • Child Lockout
  • Optional Storage Pedestals
    The new 10 in. pedestal raises the washer and dryer so that less bending is required to load or unload. The 15.5 in. pedestal provides the same benefit with the added convenience of a shelf and storage drawers for full size bottles and boxes.

It will take some getting used to...
Reviewed by Lisa on Central (Frequent User) from Evanston, IL on Dec 29, 2009
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
I'm not sure I'm going to keep this washer. I tried to wash a single, rather bulky wool sweater on cold/delicate, but it couldn't spin it because (I'm assuming) it didn't make a balanced load. Then I tried to wash a new cotton robe, and the same thing happened. If you throw more things in the load, it works fine. But I always use the delicate settings to do my sweaters, so I guess I'll be throwing clean towels in with them so I have a "load." Then I have to dry the extra items, and how energy-saving is that? My other beef is that the timer may SHOW 54 minutes, but it could actually take 75 minutes to do a load. It depends how much you put in. Since my washer is in the basement, I can't hear the buzzer, so I have to guess when the load is done, or just keep going down until it finally is done. It's bad enough that it takes so darn long. Other than that, for normal loads of clothes, it does seem to do a very nice job.
Pros: Large Capacity, Clean Clothes Well, Energy Efficient, Adjustable Settings
Cons: Long Cycle, Length of cycle a mystery, Won't spin single items
Best Uses: Towels, Bedding, Everyday Clothes, Heavy/Bulky Items

"Estimated Time" isn't accurate
Reviewed by Vicky (Frequent User) from Chicago on Sep 25, 2009
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Normal wash cycle is estimated at 54 minutes. Even small/light loads take at least 65 minutes. Recently, my normal sized load of towels took 80 minutes - when i got to the basement at 75 minutes into the cycle, it said that there was 1 minute left. Five LONG minutes later, I stopped the darn thing and put the stuff (still REALLY wet) in the dryer.

I'm Very Pleased
Reviewed by Chicagoan (Occasional User) from Chicago on Jun 10, 2009
Verified Reviewer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I bought this unit and the matching dryer, and both have been fine. I suppose a larger capacity might be nice, but I don't need it and didn't see any reason to pay more. I didn't buy the pedestals, but the units are fine without them.On various websites, some people have complained about these appliances, but I've had no trouble, I have no vibration issues or noise. Yes, the primary wash cycle is long, almost an hour, but shorter cycles are easily selected. This is not problematic.[...]

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
[...] I bought pedestals to match and had to get rid of the pedestal for the washer. It was not sturdy enough to support the washer in the spin cycle. The washer would shake and move and was very noisy. When I put the washer back on the floor by itself it was fine. I would not recomend the pedestal option!

Superb
Reviewed by Bardo (Frequent User) from Chicago on Jun 26, 2008
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
While looking for a stackable W/D, my Abt phone rep mentioned the Duet Sport. I did some online comparison shopping and found the W/D to be in the bottom quarter of all stackable pricing - and Abt was the most competitive. They both work amazingly well. They are extremely quiet and don't shake or move at all. And while the washer appears to have a small capacity, it's actually very large. Everything that fits in the washer easily fits in the dryer, which dries things extremely well. Both machines have great settings for manual and automatic use, and the washer has a 6 hour delay, so I can set the wash when I leave for work, and they won't have been sitting wet all day when I get home. I highly recommend both units.

Verified Reviewer
BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Worth it to pay more for the next model up, in order to get more flexible wash cycles with same cleaning ability. Too bad that also means you have to pay for the more expensive dryer, as the 8300 dryer was fine.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Clean Clothes Well

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
everything comes out very clean, has done well with all items - even larger items. The spin cycle REALLY gets the water out more than any other washer I have used. The only downside is that our laundry room is located over crawl space (not on concrete floor) and we notice the vibrations from the spin cycle in the room next to the laundry room.

Exceeds expectations!
Reviewed by Danny Boy (Practical) from Lyons, IL on Oct 28, 2006
Verified Buyer
The washer is everything we hoped it would be. There is only one draw back regarding the washer, and that would really be with the detergent requirement. The washer does require the use of High Efficient (HE) laundry detergent. I was only able to find one brand at our store, but I really can't complain because the cloths comes out so clean, I don't have to try and find a different brand. We couldn't be happier with the purchase of this washer.
