Product review (5 stars): I'm in the honeymoon phase
So far, so good.  I was living with an ancient top loader for the past 15 years.  It finally broke and we purchased this washer and its dryer mate.  My clothes are noticeably cleaner.  I wasn't sure I needed the steam feature, but my 20 year old son's T-shirts do not smell for the first time since they were new.  So I am a happy camper.  I may look into whether or not I can buy an extended warranty however.  I don't like all of the reviews about failure.  But while it's working, it DOES work.  And it's quiet and easy to use.  And it doesn't shake the house.  The other thing I like about this washer compared to the others I looked at is that the cycle time for the normal cycle is 45 minutes, which is considerably shorter than a lot of other front loaders.
