I love this washer! If you are a larger family who does TONS of laundry every week-get this washer. This washer is 4.5 cu ft. Now when we were looking, we knew we needed something large but had no idea what size would be best. This is the perfect size for a large family. I can wash big comforters and when I wash clothing, I can fit about double the clothes in as some other washers I have had in the past. It comes loaded with features without the huge price tag.
