I was a looking for a machine that would allow me to select my water levels, like they all use to. This one does not disappoint. It cleans the clothes very well and agitates very well. My old machine was supposed to be efficient, but the loads took an hour and i only had the option to deep fill. The deep fill knob had to be turned on and off and I spent so much time babysitting laundry i feel like beating the clothes on a rock would have been better like the old days. At least you're out in nature. Now I can set my water level, add the Downey to the compartment and go. GE thanks for giving me my time back. I set and go.
