I had an older model of this laundry center and it lasted for 16 years. It was still working but I knew it's time was limited. I only wanted another Frigidaire based upon my previous experience. I very much like this new laundry center. The washer is larger and my king size sheets fit so much better, as well as other larger loads. However, even with the larger capacity, the max fill doesn't use all of the available drum when it fills. It barely covers the sheets or large loads, which I know is the point of high efficiency. In my old laundry center I could add more water to cover the the larger loads. On this laundry center you do not have that option. I experienced residue on some of my larger loads so I had to break them down into smaller loads and do 2 instead of 1 (defeats the high efficiency aspect) even when I hardly used any detergent. This is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
