I had the washer for a day and done several loads so far its been fine. The water does not cover the whole load but the impeller moves around enough to soak all the clothing. My clothes and sheets are clean. The washer did bang a little while cleaning a medium size blanket and sheets so I'm hoping that won't happen everytime I wash my blankets. I've tried removing the flex dispense but can't seem to take it off without breaking it. Water is held in there after a load so in the meantime I just use a washcloth to dry the dispenser until I'm able to remove it. Overall I'm happy with my washer.
