I purchased this without knowing anyone who's had this appliance, so this was not purchased with any recommendations.  The guys installed it and when I went to wash my first items, I was surprised at how little water it uses which I guess is good.  I have to say though, it's a bit on the noisy side, but, all of my clothes come very clean.  The dryer is great, dry's the clothes so quickly, has a tendency to ball my sheets up into a large wad... but I'm working with it.  For my needs and what it does, it's great little machine and I'm happy with it.
