No reviews of the Whirlpool 5500 or 5600 at Consumer Reports online.
They did, however, just test a new Maytag Bravos; model MVWB300W(Q). Don't know if this has the new, simplified innards. In fact, I'm not even sure the new design will get a Maytag release.
Glenn, can you weigh in on this one?

video of the new system
It's not really a new system. It's basically got similar underpinnings to the portable world washer. The WP version should be in stores now, the Maytag will be out shortly.
Eugene, that is a regular cabrio/bravos washer. The new washer's Maytag model number will start something like MVWX... I'm not sure what the WP will sell for, but expect the Maytag to start at about $529-549 or somewhere in there.

Thanks for the clarification on that, Todd. My local Maytag/Frigidaire dealer is no longer stocking any impeller machines. He said the ones he's sold have racked up so many returns and complaints that he's going with front-loaders and traditional-agitator Frigidaires and Maytags.
He also said he sells very few TL'ers these days. He tends to stock lower-to-middle-of-the-line front-loaders, which have been selling well.

I don't stock a Bravos, but would special order one. I can honestly say, I have had no one come in and specifically ask for the impellers at all. My best sellers are TL machines. In my area, people complain that they hate bending into a washer, even though no one says a word about bending into a dryer. Go figure.

I think they dislike bending into the washer because of the weight of the clothing. That's just my guess. it's never bothered me.

Mayguy.....I know
I always found it strange that people were put off by front loaders because of the bending over involved because you have to bend over for the dryer, and the dryer's of the past were always "front loading" and not on any sort of pedestal.

For me what i don't like about a front load washer is i don't think that the washe is efficent as to when the clothe are wash by a conventenial top loading washer with agitator and what i hate the most as well is the fact that you can't add anything new once the washe cycle as begun and there is also the fact that fo me they are not adequate for loading the washer or unlodaing when putting the clothe in the dryer. So for me the next washer that i will be buying is a good old fashion toploading washer with an agitator.

Add an Item
I don't know of any front load washers that you can't open and add an item after the cycle has begun. Please enlighten...

for me on my duet set i can open my duet washer druing the cycle but only at the beginning when the add garment light is on and its on during 8 minutes and after 8 minutes if i have something to add its to late for me since even if i would pause to add something after 8 minutes the door would remain close and lock.
<blockquote>... since even if i would pause to add something after 8 minutes the door would remain close and lock.</blockquote>Are you sure? You've tried doing that and confirmed the door won't unlock?

Whirlpool Duet Sport
I found one here at a neighbor's front trash pile and brought it home. The mildew was horrific but, I put it on the "whitest whites" cycle using straight Clorox and some Lysol disinfectant.It came out o.k and I washed 7 loads of real dirty farm clothes dropped off to be cleaned and there were no other issues.It worked fine. I was surprised at the outcome of the loads and recently sold it to a "cousin" here and she's real happy with it so far.It does the same amount of wash as the Frigidaire with the rectangular door and spins about 1,000 RPMS at the end of the cycle.It runs a bit loud at the sppin cycles but,there is a note on the dispenser drawer stating that there is an unusualy noisy sound during the spin. It was placed there at the factory.Before I read that, I was assuming that the barings may be faulty but,that wasn't the case.I like the Sport better than the Duet full size models (KitchenAid)I had in FL.
