I bought this to replace a giant Samsung that was incredibly over-engineered. The previous owner had installed it. It was too "smart," which made it difficult to control the type of cycle I wanted. It had a million different buttons. In addition, it was huge! I'm 5'8", and I could barely reach into the bottom to retrieve damp clothing to move to the dryer. I wanted a more basic machine. This fits the bill. It's nice and sleek looking. A simple knob, and it has every cycle you could want. Great price, too.
