This washer is amazing! I had no idea that my old washer wasn't doing a good job of cleaning our clothes until the first load came out of this new washer. The clean fresh smell, the brighter colors, old stains that lifted right out and that's all without changing anything of my routine. Same detergent. Didn't use stain remover products or anything. I am so pleased! It spins the clothes so much drier so they take less time to dry saving energy there also. I can't praise it enough. It's so quiet too. We can enjoy a family meal or TV program and barely know it's running.
