Product review (1 stars): This Washing Machine Sucks
This is the first time I have ever wanted to give something zero stars.

We moved to a new house about a year ago, and this is the washing machine that came with the house. Let me tell you, this thing is a worthless piece of junk. Maybe you're into saving energy and water. I understand that. But I'm sure you also like having clean clothes to wear. If I'm right, then under no circumstances do you want to own this washing machine.

Most washing machines work like so: You put in your clothes, pour on some detergent, select water level, water temperature, type of wash, etc, press start or something to that effect. The washing machine then FILLS UP WITH WATER, and swishes your clothes around, loosening up dirt, stains, etc. Then there's some combination of draining, rinsing, spinning, etc. When all is said and done, your clothes are completely wet, but not dripping. They smell fresh, and are ready to go in the dryer or air dry.

This piece of junk works nothing like that. You will put your clothes in, put in detergent, and choose the kind of load you're washing (towels, bulky items, whites, colored, etc). You choose water temperature, soil level. You do not have the option of choosing the water level.

Once you press start, the washing machine shoots out about 2 cups of soapy water on the entire load, and then spins around like it's on the spin cycle for about 30 seconds. Then it stops, shoots out another 2 cups of soapy water, then spins around some more. As it's spinning, the water is not accumulating, so that it eventually fills up. No...it just keeps draining as it spins, then repeating the whole thing over again. I've stared at this thing through the glass, and I'm thinking, how is it supposed to wash the clothes this way? Well, when you come back an hour later, you have your answer. IT DOESN'T. When you take your clothes out, they're damp. When you open up shirts, socks, and pants, oh, what's this?, DRY SPOTS. Places that didn't even get touched once by the little spurts of water. So now your clothes are damp, and a little musty smelling, and some look dirtier than they did before they went in. I've tried washing a full load of clothes, and I've tried washing just a few things, thinking maybe it can only handle a small load. No, it doesn't matter.

We haven't experienced the mechanical problems that the other reviewers have mentioned. Just the product design. It's inherently flawed. It makes you wonder, did they test this thing out before they put it on the market? Even the concept of a washing machine that doesn't fill up with water....What the foe!!!..????  Even a child knows that that won't work. Trust me on this. Trust the other negative reviewers on this. We're all trying to spare you the pain in the butt and waste of money, trips to the laundry mat, etc. You are much better off buying yourself a regular washing machine. But who knows. Maybe there's an energy efficient machine out there that actually washes your clothes. But this aint it.
