This replaced a 20 year old GE HE washing machine. Yes, the old one lasted 20 years. We tried everything we could to get the last part for the motor to keep it because it was a Rolls Royce of washers. No luck. Everything I've heard and read says the new one won't last more than 15 years. HOW is that saving energy? After one load, I can see how it "saves" water. When set to "Auto" the water does not even fill to where I can see water. The motor sounds like it's laboring to "agitate" the load. I expect the motor will die just after the 10 year warranty expires. At least there is a workaround; set the water level to "Max" and the Options to "Deep Rinse". It does spin a lot of water out of the load, and the price and rebates were nice. We'll see...too bad you can't leave a follow-up review after 5 or 10 years. HA!
