i recently purchased this 4.0 cu. ft. load washer and i am so pleased with it. i really needed a new washer since mine was probably over 20 yrs old. this machine does it all..it can wash a small load at a time or a full load. the settings give you so many alternatives so you can wash exactly what you need at a time. i like the bell sound when the load is finished. which is great because this washer is so quite you don' t even know when it is finished washing. i have only had the washer for about a month but so far it has performed well and i'm looking forward to it lasting as long as my previous washer did!!! #samsunglaundryinsiders
