A month into this new washer, we are delighted.  It's quiet, spacious, cleans very well, takes less time than predecessor, isn't too expensive, and it's easy to use.  Setup was no problem and we even like its various purring, humming noises.  The dark glass front doesn't allow us to view its operation but it doesn't seem to mind. Assuming reliability matches this opening gambit, we think was have a winner.  Bravo!
