I bought this machine last month to replace my Kenmore Elite 17 year old machine.  I was skeptical because I really liked my old Kenmore but I have been very happy I bought this washer.  It has a lot of features I can use and it uses much less water and soap as my old one.  I can't wait to try the steam and sanitize features.  I also love the pedestal.  I keep all my laundry soap and rinse aids in it.  Very functional product.  Thank you.
