Product review (5 stars): I like top loading
I can fit TONS more than my 5 year old Whirlpool set we traded out.  I mean TONS.  It seems to clean really well, I'm not sure of efficiency yet, but its definitely whisper quiet (again compared to our older ones).  I like top loading, and thought I would have to give up a little space, but without the agitator I'm not losing anything, the drum in both is HUGE.  Some people seemed to be worried about it not having an agitator to get your clothes clean... its not a problem at all, it works wonderfully.  I can even through our comforter AND sheets AND pillow cases in all together and they come out bright white and clean.

The only problem we have is that my husband's work clothes, slacks and button up dress shirts, come out more wrinkly than I would like.  I am still trying to figure out all the fancy settings on what works best, but I think it just needs to be a smaller load and maybe an extra 20 mins in the dryer, not sure.
