Starting with the extremely noisy variety of sounds and the  poor overall design and function, makes this washer difficult and confusing to use and completely inefficient at actually washing your clothes.  This  machine is designed to take away your ability to determine your preference of water levels and water temperatures. A number of vague settings like “light, medium, and heavy” will determine whether you get barely enough water to cover your clothes or a full tub. The low water level combined with barely detectable agitation results in clothes that don’t get clean. In order to to get soap adequately rinsed from clothing you need to run a second or third rinse cycle. This machine has no premixing of detergent with water so adding soap directly on top of clothes is a staining problem. No issue with the dryer.
