Product review (1 stars): Sad
These low-water use top-loading machines are a sad, money wasting joke. The idea works for front-loading (the clothes TUMBLE), but NOT for top-loading. The water is barely half-way up the load, clothes hardly roll over during agitation, don't get fully wet, the clothes on the bottom get all the rubbing from the 'agitator' and those on top pretty much stay on top. I add 3 buckets of water to each load to get the clothes fully wet, and hand rotate them once during wash cycle. With the lid lock, you can't add that missing shirt. With no timer dial, you can't control short or added time wash by hand.

Needless to say, it's gone soon. We'll be doing much deeper research before next purchase. If all top-loaders are like this now, then it'll likely be a front-loader next, with proven operation. Or, even a used quality brand top-loader (my last, a Kenmore, was still running after 17 years with only a timer and lid switch replacement, with good and logical setting controls).
