This washer makes weird noises throughout all its cycles. It struggles to spin without clunking the sides. It is tough to get level because the top cover and inside cover are curved. I don't expect this machine to outlast my first Maytag that went over twenty years of service with heavy loads; this thing struggles with small loads! In an effort to conserve water, things do not get as clean. Once spinning is successful and up to very fast speed, clothes are quite ready for quick drying.
