EVERYTHING I WANTED

Describe Yourself:	Occasional User
Pros:	Quiet, Energy Efficient, Adjustable Settings, Large Capacity, Clean Clothes Well

Like the washer very much. It's very quiet; cleans clothes well. This replaced a Maytag which I had for 25 years, and to this point it is doing a neck and neck job. I like all the options there are on it too.

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED!

Love this washer. Has many temperature options and settings for all different types of clothing, bedding and what have you. I think it has a nice size capacity and it runs very quiet. Good choice!

Basic but perfect.

A simple machine that has proven itself under very heavy use.

Back to Basics is a relief!

I got rid of a Fisher Paykel washer that was only 18 months old-it was going to cost me over $300 to fix the electronic controls and I had already had 2 service calls on it, so after researching front loaders and other machines I decided to go back to basics. Cost was no problem for me but I was SICK of service calls with all the fancy schmancy electronic controls. Some items I will tolerate(dishwashers, stoves, microwaves) but I just want an good old fashioned washer. I read blogs by repairmen and found they like the good old knobs, so that was what brought me to this machine. I will say that it does spin the sheets in a really tight bunch but I haven't tried a slower cylce yet. It doesn't really bother me and I try to load without circling the center post. It doesn't have tons of cycle choices but it has everything I need for family laundry. I'm on a main floor with ceramic tile and have no problem with movement. It's a bit noisier than my last washer but I can sit 4 feet from it and not mind it at all.

IWe didn't get taken to the Dry Cleaners

By Panther from Skokie, Illinois on 04/21/2009.

Best Uses:	Everyday Clothes, Athletic Clothes, Towels, Bedding, Delicates
Describe Yourself:	Frequent User
Pros:	Quiet, Adjustable Settings, Clean Clothes Well, Large Capacity
Cons:	Softner Cup slips out

The machine works great! It replaces a machine that was twenty years old. We don't expect this one to outlast, but are hoping it will perform as well or better and so far it has. We are a family of three and do a dozen loads or more each week. The laundry is done quite well by this machine. It's large capacity is a real plus for us. The only problem thus far has been the softner cup slips out and I can't get at it to put it back. [...]

Product was well researched before purchase and is better than the Kenmore we owned. It is quieter than we expected and often we check to make sure it is running through the cycles.

Horrible Machine - Buyer Beware

By Mags the Mom from Glenview, Illinios on 02/16/2009.

Cons:	Breaks Down, Shakes/Moves
Best Uses:	Everyday Clothes
Describe Yourself:	Heavy Duty User
Pros:	Quiet

This machine broke twice within the first year when it was under warranty and then broke five months after warrenty expired. Problems included not draining water, needing to be realigned, and lastly it needed a new motor which cost [$]....clearly not worth investing after having so many other problems. Don't regret your purchase...get a different machine!

Good value for the price
