It is VERY heavy. Very efficient. I love the time saving feature and athe automatic soap dispenser plus the app and Wi-Fi feature as well. Not noise whatsoever, with the old one I had my pets used to ran away as soon as I started it, they knew lol and with this one they sit waiting for the cool low noises it makes. The wifi was a headache to set it up for some reason. I am very happy with my new washing machine and hope to get the most use of it as I learn more with each use on how to use it more efficiently.
