This washer has been great all our needs. First we have three dogs who shed constantly, everywhere and on everything. This washer has successfully  been able to remove and filter the dog hair from clothes and blankets without clogs, backup, and gross smells in the machine. (Our laundry room never smells musty or bad after purchasing this washer). Second the washing tub is HUGE and can do all our king bedding plus a kiddo’s sheets in one load. I’ve even put dog beds in the barrel, shoes, bath mats, throw pillows, duffle bags, and it’s all been cleaned without damage, or even so much as a lose thread. Third, this washer is more energy efficient which has been amazing with rising power prices in the desert. It’s cut out energy bill down and decreased the electricity needed for laundry. Fourth it’s quiet! I can’t even hear it running if I’m in the same area of the house.
