This washer does not perform as it was recommended. I think if people just paid a little more attention to it they’d see that items just sit around the outside and never get pulled into the agitation. My socks do not get as clean as with my old washer. I just can’t see why people would even recommend this. My old washer got clothes much cleaner, another brand. I even pulled out a shirt out of the washer. I had been working in the yard and it still had dirt on it. I also have to put it on a deep wash otherwise at times I’ve seen clothes that are still dry on the top. I have followed the instructions exactly as described in the manual.
