Product review (1 stars): Very loud and poorly designed machine.
This is a very loud machine when operated on all washing cycles.  All spin cycles are worse.  Gets out of balance very easily.  This machine has a hot water option, but will not allow you to use it.  There is a energy saving device installed to prevent you from using very hot water.  This machine automatically adds twenty percent cold water during the hot cycle.  There is a safety device which prevents you from opening the lid during the washing cycle.  I talked to a appliance salesman at Lowes department store who told me that this machine is 20 percent greener.  He said that this machine uses less hot water, less water and energy.  I now wash all my laundry thru two complete washing cycles to get all the soap out.  I bought the matching dryer which I like very much.
