Replaced a two year old LG top loading washer with this machine.  I was DONE with the LG scrud.  It appears to get the laundry cleaner.  Love the automatic dispenser for the detergent and you can adjust it with more or less soap depending on the load.  The self cleaning vent system for the gasket is also very nice.  Lots of great features.  Only reason for 4 stars is that it is a bit noisy during the spin cycle.  And there is no just spin feature.  Only rinse and spin.
