I've done two laundry loads but I am extremely pleased with this washer. It took a bit to get used to pressing Pause (Start button) after any action when opening the lid, adding more items, changing the water level or temperature, then closing the lid. It takes getting used to it using less water that doesn't cover all the clothes, but at the end of the cycle, the clothes were clean and smelled really nice. My former washer was 20 years old with gunk in the pipe connections and a porcelain basket, so this new washer has a very nice clean smell using a stainless basket.
