I bought this washer (together with matching dryer) last month and am so far very pleased with the product. The bigger 5 cu. ft. capacity is slightly bigger than my old standard one (4.5) and it makes a whole load of difference. Easier to fit larger beddings. Also has multiple features for laundry settings. I notice this is more economical for laundry soap and softener. The smart feature is a huge plus as I get cycle status on my phone. No need to go up and down to my basement to find out if the cycle has ended. All in all a great purchase.
