My wife usually washes the clothes but when she was out of town and I had to do the washing...THIS WAS SO EASY TO USE. Powering on, you hear a sound. You dial to what you want to wash , load your detergent, clothes and off you go. The different features are definitely an upgrade to what we had before. I like the singing notification at the end of the wash. Full capacity to wash a full load of laundry. I even washed our king size comforter with ease. Definitely, recommend this washer for easy of use!
