Product review (5 stars): This is a Great Washer
This is a great machine.  It is big, which is a real plus doing laundry for a big family.  It has the cycles I need, runs very quietly, and cleans well.  The 1400 rpm spin cycle is pretty impressive.  It even plays pleasant little songs when I turn it off and on.  (Pleasant being in the ear of the hearer, these can be turned off very easily if you want!)  It's currently CR's top rated machine, which ought to count for something.  I especially like the feature that tosses a load intermittently in fresh air overnight if I start a load before going to bed.  As an upgrade from a long-serving and recently deceased traditional top-loader, this thing is actually a lot of fun.  I feel just a little like the helmsman on the Enterprise laying in a course when I operate it (um, yeah, I guess I just admitted that . . .).  Let me add to the positive voices -- this has been a great machine.  I did buy the extended warranty, just in case, but no issues so far!
