I am very happy with this washing machine. The drum holds a lot of clothes. I now only do two loads of laundry a week for myself, instead of three. Heck, my queen size comforter fits in it.  It also works rather quickly, so I'm not spending all day washing clothes. I'm a little disappointed in not being able to soak items like I used to in my old machine. It's not a major issue compared to how much better my clothes come out in the regular wash cycle. The little tune it plays when the cycle is done is kinda cute too.
