This washer does not rock -- and that's good! It spins very fast, but stays balanced and quiet. It's a nice change from our last front loader.

The user-serviceable pump filter is helpful, as it needs attention monthly. However, the drain plug is difficult to remove. A screw-off plug would have been a better idea there. Also, the rear drain hose is a bit shorter than on our last unit and needed an extension to reach our laundry drain.
