I would only recommend this to tall people, or anyone over 5'5 so they could easily reach into and grab all the wet clothes after the load. This seemed like a nice washer. I liked that it had an agitator- but this washer is VERY deep and was impossible for everyone to use-I did like the simplicity of the available load options and the automatic fabric softener dispenser.  This agitator washer is better than no agitator for heavy duty and dirty clothes loads. I did like the chime that indicated end of load.
