Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer: An In-depth Review
There is the traditional top-load dryers, which are what have been an industry standard for the past several decades, and then there is the new trend in dryers, the front-load machines. And all of us know that the front-load machines are more energy efficient, however, they way are laid out becomes a huge problem for many people. So, why haven’t they made a top-load dryer that has the efficiency of a front-load machine? Well, this question went unanswered for many years until recently. The Whirlpool Corporation has just made the worlds first energy efficient top-load dryer that acts just like a front-load – and that is the Cabrio Dryer.
The Whirlpool Cabrio dryer is an astonishing 7.0 cubic feet, and comes with seven automatic cycles, which makes doing laundry as simple as one, two, and three! There is even a see-through door in the front of the dryer so you monitor the state of your clothes throughout the entire drying process. Which is very convenient when you are having to dry delicates. This dryer comes with electronic and rotary controls, which are very easy to operate, there are also status indicators which display the setting for your drying cycles.
One of the greatest assets of this dryer is the sheer size of the drying drum. It is an incredible 7.0 cubic feet, which is utterly HUGE. A lot of people ask why one would need a drum that is as large as this, and the answer is very simple. When you have a dryer that is this size, than you can do laundry in fewer loads, which will in turn save you money in energy costs – which this machine does naturally on its own. Basically, since the drum is so large, you will be spending less time doing laundry and more time outside of the laundry room – and your energy bill will reflect this as well.
Like I mentioned earlier this machine has seven automatic drying cycles, however, it also has six various temperature options, which provide you with amazing flexibility and control when you’re drying your clothes. This is also a great feature to have because various garments require different drying temperatures to prevent shrinking, loss of color, etc. Another feature is the Wrinkle Shield Plus option. This periodically tumbles your clothes when the cycle is completed in order to prevent wrinkles from setting in when you can’t get to your dryer after it is done doing it’s cycle – an amazing feature! Whirlpool hasn’t stopped there, there is a feature that is called AccelerCare drying, which monitors drying time, air temperature, and dampness to insure that your clothes get nothing but the best in drying care.
With the latter feature, you won’t have to worry about the horrors of drying certain types of fabrics, you really can machine dry all types of your clothes. The drying tub is actually made of polymer, which can stand up to everyday wear and tear, the top of the drum is made of porcelain, which is resistant to chips and scratches. And another amazing feature of this dryer is the sound – there is none. The ultra-quite dry noise reduction system maintains an extremely low noise level, which is perfect if your living room is close to your laundry room.
Without a doubt, this dryer is one of the best that has ever been developed by any home appliance manufacturers. One of the greatest features is the price. One would expect to pay over a thousand dollars for this type of machine, however, it is merely $700.00 – which is an amazing price for all this dryer offers! I highly suggest the Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer for anyone who is in the market for an amazing dryer – and if you are looking for a washer, the Cabrio Washer is equally as astonishing!
