This is a fabulous machine for those of us who are limited on space. It does an exceptional job of cleaning and rinsing with a minimum of detergent and it offers enough 
options to cover any job you might have from delicate to denim. BUT!! It is so noisy and the noise is like chalk on a blackboard at times. Also, some of the cycles take as long as 40 minutes. If not for those two negative features, I would give this model the highest rating available. I happily accept what I consider the flaws because to have a machine like this in a small space is a blessing.
