Right out of the box this washer is squealing like a pig. Poor analogy I know, but for the price, this thing should be working properly. It shakes like crazy also. We have leveled it numerous times and it somehow becomes in level after a few washes. These machines are nice looking and have the potential to be a nice set but both the washer and dryer are junk. Also, good luck with getting the warranty to cover anything. I’ve been trying for a month now and still haven’t seen a technician come and fix these things.
