I bought this with the dryer. It took me a little to adjust, ie you have to program everything and then power on. What I do like is the lock and also the pleasant chime when the washing is completed. Do not like where I have to put the softener - not all get dispensed and it becomes messy. Also since it weighs the load before it starts, I feel that there is not enough water to cover the clothes so ofter I have to manually program.
