We've had this washer about a month now and LOVE it!  I wasn't sold on buying a top load washer with agitator.  I used a front load for about 25 years.  When we moved to our new place I purchased a top loader with our an agitator.  It didn't last 3 years, didn't clean our cloths well and took forever to get through the process.  This washer is quick.  The only issues I have with it are:  The water level is automatic and I don't feel like there is enough water when clothes are very dirty.  Some of the settings allow you to add an extra 3 gallons up to a full washer so I use that.  The other issue I have is when I use bleach; 3 times now items have come out of the wash with bleach spots where it appears the bleach is going into the load at the beginning of the cycle instead of toward the end of the fill cycle.  Learning curve, I'll figure it out.
