This washer does a good job cleaning. We have run many loads of military uniforms and kids clothes through it and it cleans well. I struggled with giving this even 4 start though due to a feature that I HATE. At the end of the cycle this unit plays a "tune" for almost 30 seconds. This model has no option to turn the tones off or even to lower their volume. The best time to do chores such as laundry while kids are sleeping. Good luck not waking them up. The washer is in a central part of the house and it is loud and annoying.
