Whirlpool's Wi-Fi washing machine is actually smart

2017-04-26
the whirlpool smart Cabrio is a $1,399 top-load washing machine while that's a lot to spend on a single laundry appliance it has the features and performance to back it up for the most part the first thing you'll notice is its glossy gray finish transparent lid and integrated control panel unlike models that rely entirely on knobs and buttons this is more like using a smartphone touchscreen I like that but it's sometimes hard to tell the machine has registered your selection since there's no haptic feedback or other tactile response its 5.3 cubic foot capacity holds plenty of clothes and removes stains incredibly well so far only two other top-load washers have earned a better stain removal score an added bonus is that it's particularly gentle on clothes the smart Cabrio also works with a related Android and iPhone whirlpool app here you can download specialty cycles check on the status of your washer receive alerts when it's done and even start and stop cycles remotely the main caveat here is that you have to select the remote start button on the washer before you can control it from the app there's even an integration with nest that links your thermostats home or away status with the washer to try to optimize the cleaning cycle while saving you energy the Smart Cabrio is worth a closer look if you want a premium smart appliance if you don't you can definitely find top performing models for less
