I have had this product since December and do about 3 loads of laundry a week.  I have washed everything from delicates to heavy bedding and the machine is handling all extremely well.  I think the delicate setting does not spin enough water out of the spin cycle so I am trying to learn how to change that.  Another hint is to set all sheets and towels on bedding.  If the wash is set to normal then the wash cycle is over an hour long.  Set to bedding changes it to a manageable 55 mins.  Both the washer and dryer are very quiet.  The dryer does a great job of drying towels in about 50 mins.
