Product review (4 stars): I'm fine with it
I've had this washer for well over eight years.  Yes, I've had two repairs, but they were minor (something got stuck in the drain pump).  There are also times when the cycle takes forever because of "suds" though I argue that I didn't put in that much detergent.  Aside from that, it's been very dependable.  Now I know it's no longer made and there is a newer model; regardless, I just hated seeing all these bad reviews when they didn't echo my experience.
