Product review (1 stars): PLAN ON VISITING THE LAUNDROMAT!
I bought this exact washer just over two years ago when my old regular washer required repair.  I wish I had paid the money to fix my old washer and never bought a new one.  Even though I carefully read reviews before buying it, this washer has given me more grief than any other appliance I have ever purchased.  After using it the first time, I realized that I had better purchase an extended warranty for it.  It made the oddest noises and we nicknamed it "The Dalek".  I think an actual Dalek, though fictitious character, would perform better at washing clothes than this washer does.  In the past two years, it has required several boards replaced and we're now having the entire inside mechanisms of it replaced a second time.  If the parts were in stock and it was fixed right away, it wouldn't be that much of a problem.  However, I have to make an appointment and, if I'm lucky, two days later someone comes out to take a look at it.  The parts are then ordered, which require another 5 to 7 business days to receive and only then, am I set up for an appointment to actually fix it.  That's as long if what they orders actually fixes it.  Therefore, each time it breaks down, I am at the laundromat for about 2 weeks washing clothes, towels, etc.  If you have one of the old washer machines that fills up the entire tub with water, repair it don't replace it!  Knowing what I know now, I would have spent up to several hundred dollars fixing it rather than buy this washer!  Don't walk away from this washer!  Run!
