I bought this last fall and wish I had bought it sooner!  It does a great job of washing clothes and extracting almost all of the water in the spin cycle, which cuts down on drying time. This is my second front load washer and the door seal has been greatly improved over my 30 year old model!  I only wish a users guide would be included with the machine in addition to the operators manual in order to show all the features of the unit.  I do not like going online every time I need to refer to the users guide.
