I was a bit skeptical about using a top loader where as in the past I’ve always used a front loader but I have to admit I am so impressed! This washer is far better then other brands I have used! I love all the options for washing your clothing including a setting for bedding and the soft close lid is a life saver when my children are helping with laundry. I am so impressed with how quiet this machine is and how quickly the cycles are done. I would like to mention that I am able to wash two large blankets or almost two full baskets of clothing at a time and this washer is super quiet! I love this washer and am so happy I decided to get it.
