I recently purchased this 4.0 cu. ft. top load washer and i am so pleased with it. i really needed a new washer since mine was probably over 20 yrs old. this machine does it all..it can wash a small load at a time or larger ones.  I have used the deep wash cycle several times because it cleans stubborn stains that are hard to remove. The washer hardly makes any noise due to the vibration technology that provides very little noise when it is washing. I like the bell sound when the load is finished. which is great because this washer is so quite you don' t even know when it is finished washing. i have only had the washer for about a month but so far it has performed well and i'm looking forward to it lasting as long as my previous washer did!!! I have been very satisfied with Samsung products!!
