Although I struggled with some of the settings at first, I have passed the exam (!), and I like this washer.  It is extremely quiet and uses at least 50% less water than my old machine.  Additionally, if I want to add more water, it just takes the push of a button.  Downside - I’m 5 foot 3 inches, so I had to buy a pair of kitchen tongs to get socks, etc. out of the bottom of the tub.  I am able to run this washer with my Iphone; a convenience for me.
