I purchased this washer because of the great reviews I read about it. People weren't wrong! I have so many options for wash loads -- from letting the machine determine the amount of water based on weight... to a good selection of temperature options... to a sanitizing cycle... and more. My clothes are coming out fresher and cleaner; the spin cycle is fantastic and gives the drying process a head start. (That saves money!) I am very pleased with this purchase and, honestly, don't dread doing laundry like I used to.
