Easy to use and washes well. I was a little concerned about the 4 cu ft capacity but it has done really well for my large family. I have washed medium to XL loads and it has washed them all well. I'm impressed with the water efficiency and how fast it washes. I'm using pods instead of liquid soap and it seems more efficient than my old washer, the clothes smell cleaner with the same amount of soap. Wish I had replaced my old washer a year ago!
