I don't like the washer at all.  I tried to wash a small inside rug - putting 2 large bath towels in with the rug to avoid off balance issues and that did not help at all.  The machine shook horrible - I'm holding each side with all my might until I could get it turned off.  I re-distributed the load and started it again - same thing.  This is beyond my imagination why it won't wash a rug and two bath towels without going off balance.
