B.K.
I just got a new washer and dryer (didn't want to, but the old dryer pooped out) and I did lots of research and talked to lots of people. I found three people with Cabrios who said they didn't think they cleaned very well. All of them complained about gunk left on their larger loads. Also, they said what I read in reviews -- very wrinkled, tangled clothes. I avoided them for those two reasons. One person did tell me when she does smaller loads it's not so bad. I went with front loaders, but I can see how they don't fit everywhere. My daughter owns a condo and her laundry room is teeny tiny and no way would front loaders fit in there. So someday she'll probably be going with a cabrio or something similar.
