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
