Product review (2 stars): Returned it after 4 weeks
I really wanted to like this washer but for all the negative reviews it got I can attest they are mostly true. The biggest problem with it for me and the deal breaker was  my clothes were not getting clean. Antiperspirant white marks, undies not coming clean. Whites very gray. For anyone looking to occasionally hang out your laundry to dry this machine is NOT for you. It wrings the clothes so much that they are twisted and scrunched. You would have to iron everything after drying. I had a HE front loader for the last 12 years and it tumbles the laundry after the cycle to loosen everything up again so it is easy to transfer to the dryer or hang. I did buy the set and was not impressed with the dryer either. This machine wrings so much water out one would think that it would be less drying time but no, it was a minimum of 60 minutes or more on HIGH to get anything dry. Went back and got stack-able front loaders.
