Product review (5 stars): Awesome set!
I'm VERY happy with my new washer and dryer. My mom built a house and took her LG's with her so I got this set since it was affordable and had good reviews. These machines are awesome. I don't understand how anyone brushes up against the knobs unless their laundry room is uber tiny or they are uber big. They hold a ton of clothes, wash is quick quieter than the LG's and efficient. My clothes come out almost dry.

These bad boys have been with me for 7 years total now and my washer is having (I believe) a timing issue. Having a friend coming over for a second opinion. Looks like the part is about 113$ and fairly simple to replace. We've ran REALLY hard water through it up until last December when we finally gave in and had Culligan put in a four stage system, which is actually really hard on the equipment while the clean water clears the rust out of the pipes. Between that and the loads we put through it (on  regular basis) I'd expected it to wear out completely by now. Overall still very satisfied.
