Whirlpool is one of the best washing machines till date and faces a stiff competition in the beginning. We have been using this washing machine from the past 7-8 years and it has been a loyal customer to us. We did not have to face any problem with the machine and also did not have any servicing done. My mom and sister are the happiest people with the washing machine as it saves alot of energy and time. The clothes look much more cleaner and no need to use the hands everytime. I think the it is the machine made for the woman of tomorrow. Whirlpool Whirlpool..... I love you.
