I bought this machine a few weeks ago. It cleans the laundry better than the machine I had before and I credit the agitator and it moves the clothes better into the water. So far I haven't used the deep fill option because I can see that it all gets covered in water. My old machine without the agitator I would have clorhing that was on top not even wet when cycle was done. It operates quietly and I like the timer that shows how long the cycle will take and how much time is left.
