I am highly impressed with the quality of this washer, it is definitely an upgrade from what I had before. I love how I can use different settings depending on what I am washing. I have never owned a front loader but I have to say it is now my favorite. It holds quite a bit of clothing. I love the area where you add your soaps, it has a max fill line on it so you know how much soap to use. The washer is so quiet and plays a nice little tune when it's done. The LED lighting is an absolute plus at night when doing laundry. I highly recommend this washer to anyone looking for an upgrade. My favorite Setting is the normal setting, you can pretty much use it on anything. I also feel this washer cleans my clothes so much better than my past ones.
