My old washer was 4.5 cu.ft, we had to do multiple loads.. This is 5.5 cu.ft, we are able to 1 load a week.. saves water & electricity :)
I was able to connect this washer with my Smartthings setup (setting up with my iPhone was little clumsy, so I used my wifes Samsung phone to setup it up), it works great, I have option to start the washer from my phone, but the most useful part is, get alerts when the washer is done. Loving it. And the washer runs very quiet, does make loud thumping noise like my old one!!
