My husband purchased this for me a few weeks ago.  My old washer has been on it's last leg for about 9 months and i really didn't want a new one with much electronics.  But I love this this one.  It is so nice to be able to load and go.  Please it plays music when its finished. Much more pleasant than the usual buzzers.  I think all appliances should take note and follow this example.  Would make housework so much more pleasant.
