This is one of the most efficient washers I have ever owned. It is a pleasure to actually do laundry now. So many options! This quality machine is beautiful and expensive but is worth every penny. I am well please with this product. I added a pedestal to the machine (due to my lower back problems) and have never been happier. No more bending or back pain. My only concern is that the washer does not have a dedicated Permanent Press wash cycle like the matching dryer. However, there are easy work arounds for this.
