It was smaller on the outside than our previous machine but bigger on the inside.  It seems that everything has gone digital including Washing Machines.  There is a greater selection of controls and makes the job easier to wash the clothes.  Ran a couple of loads through the machine and they came out clean.  And with a top loader we don't have to bend over to load and unload it!  What more can you ask except for the machine to last 25 years?  One thing I found strange was the greater than expected difference between medium and high water levels.
