Product review (5 stars): Better than the new age HE washers.
I purchased this model from Home Depot last month, after going through 4 (yes 4) other HE Washers, including a garbage Samsung 4.6 HE washer that broke down 3 times, and had to be replaced twice in a 2 month period. I decided to go with an "old school" agitator washer. It has a HE option that can be turned off, you can control the water level manually, and now my clothes come out 100% cleaned vs just splashed with a small amount of water. If you are looking for a new washer and want your clothes cleaned, stay away from any HE only washers. You can beat this washer for the price!
