this is my first new washer ever and i'll tell you what i love it. the vibration control works like a dream, it's really quiet compared to my 15 year old maytag. sure it takes a little longer but that means to me is that it is more thorough on the washing i literally have one day when i do all my laundry for three people, it gets the job done while saving energy and water. simply put. i love it. i don't get why people get mad about it being a little longer sounds like they don't have time like i do.
