I hate this washing machine.  I am in a perpetual battle of wits with it to get it to use enough water to even WET the clothes, let alone get them clean.  I have to turn it off and on again several times, and then it may add a bit more water, but sometimes I just give up and just fill a bucket to add more water.  Also, there's no filter or screen to filter the water as it's washing, like there was on the old agitator types, so it doesn't get rid of animal hair.  I thought I was buying the best washing machine, but it's really the worst I've ever seen.
