This is a very nice, no frills washer. I love the fact that it has a basic concept in a world of options. The agitator seems to get clothes cleaner than the washer machines that don’t have one while being energy efficient. I like that I can add clothing to the wash even after the cycle has ended. I am however suprised that this unit isn’t as heavyweight as the older models, but I assume that it’s because the company is environmentally conscious. Overall a good buy , and afford to d product for the price.
