After having a front load waaher and hating it(we donated it  a short time after purchasing it because our clothes and machine smelled awful) and we were hesitant about purchasing another washer. Thankfully we found this GE profile washer that gives us what we want. The tub is 5.3 cu ft for large loads if needed. The washer scans each load to determine how much water is needed. There is a phone app that works great and notifies me during the cycle. There are choices for different loads- temperature choices- extra rinse choices.  The machine is quiet too. Best of all our clothes smell clean and fresh!! We love this washer.
