It's been 2.5 months since we purchased this washer and put it into service.  I really, really love the larger capacity (compared to my prior washer).  I wash clothes less frequently and therefore, use less detergent...so I am reducing my carbon footprint!  I am getting accustomed to the standard settings and how to change them easily enough if I want to customize the load to my preferences.  I'm just really pleased with this washer.
