Product review (5 stars): It does get clothing cleaner.
I was nervous buying a water saver machine. Most people wash on cold water if they want to save money, so a water saver does not really save all that much. It just forces you into colder and less water. But the clothing does come out cleaner. Perhaps because the newer mechanism pushes more cleaning water and soap through the clothing. Also the clothing gets less beat up and will last longer. So maybe there is some truth to the claims they are making. My wife just wanted the extra ease of putting comforters in the wash without having to wrap and stuff them around a big agitator. Then I noticed the reviews were better on this unit compared to the old fashion style washers. Whirlpool makes the Maytag that is almost identical and the reviews are even higher on that. Also in this price range this has got to be the best machine out there for your money. So buy American, keep Americans working and keep our money here in this Country. This is a good machine that is fully tested. If you have problems it is in your house, not in the washing machine itself. But I got a five year service plan for only $129, so I do not have to worry about that anyways. The fact that I could get a plan so cheap shows me this is a good product.
