I bought this washing machine two months ago and I'm so happy I did. I upgraded from what note feels like was an antique washer to this. There are so many helpful features. The OptiWash makes sure my son's stinky clothes are being enough soap. I love that I don't have to put soap in the machine with every load. This allows my husband and son to be more helpful doing the laundry because it's not so daunting to them. The ease of use with this washing machine is top notch. I wish I had bought it sooner.
