Product review (5 stars): Excellent Performance -- So Far
I've owned this washer for almost two years and it's performed beautifully. We're a family of four and regularly have house guests and entertain. So, the machine gets a steady workout. Our laundry room is upstairs next to our bedrooms. Therefore, I shopped carefully for a washer which rated highly on the quiet scale. The Duet has not disappointed on that count. It runs exceedingly quietly. Moreover, it is extremely economical with water without sacrificing on cleaning. Our washes come out consistently clean.

Reading the many negative reviews here gives me pause, causing me to wonder if our machine will conk out well before its time. But I must say, after close to two years of use, our Duet is operating beyond my expectations. It's the best washer I've had.
