I bought this machine by default because new top loaders are so gigantic that I couldn't reach the bottom of the drum.  This is a slightly smaller capacity and I can get to the bottom.  Things I like about are that it's super quiet and it lets me add extra water.  Things I really don't like - the water won't fill the machine unless the child lock is engaged, the machine dictates which options I can choose and the delicate cycle is way too long.  I also wish I could advance through the cycle so that I could have a 10 minute wash and move the machine to rinse.  My clothes are clean and the machine is easy to use.
