It’s louder than I was anticipating. Like when it’s spinning around to sense how much is in there, I can hear it across the house. And I’m checked everything to make sure it’s level. During the very first few cycles we used it for, the spinning part that’s near the end to get most of the water out made it sound like it was about to explode or something. Overall it’s a good washer. I don’t like its extreme affiliation with Tide but that’s my own problem as someone who is allergic to Tide products. The separate compartments for the detergent and stuff is super helpful and after the cycle is over, the clothes are just damp and aren’t like soaking wet as they were with our last washer.
