Product review (5 stars): I'm in love...
..with this washer ! I've had the machine for about 2 months, now, and I would never own another. It's so quiet, I have to use the musical feature, to know, when it's done, and that's just sitting it in the laundry closet, without even seeing, if it was leveled. I read a lot of reviews and I'm glad I did not listen to most of them.
1. It uses plenty of water, you want your clothes washed, not sloshed around in dirty water. I think people think it's not enough, cause they are used to their laundry getting swooshed in a "bucket" of water, in top loaders.
2. I have had no problems at all, with smells or wearing of clothes, my whites come out snow white, not grey like some say.
3. To the ones that complain, that you have to leave the door open on this model, after use, newsflash, that's ALL front loaders, that's just the way it is.
I'm European and moved to the states 16 years, ago, I always hated the top loaders, that were popular, here and was glad, when mine finally broke, so I could get a front loader, again, which is what we use over seas. ( always have)
When I fist got it, I washed our towels and then got one from the linen closet, that had been cleaned with my old washer a few days back, had my husband sniff them both and he said the "old" towel smelled dirty compared to the "new" towel.
Laundry even feels cleaner, coming out of the wash, also the drying time is cut in half, cause the spin cycle in this gets stuff nearly dry.
I even wash our King sized comforters and the huge papasan pillow in this washer, never had any problems with the perfect balance or it not spinning, correctly.
I have no complaints, so far at all. I love this washer and everything about it.
The wave touch is a bit more expensive, and you can really go with the IQ touch and save a lot of money, I got lucky and found this one at a sears outlet for 899, cause it had a scratch on it...

Update: Just thought it was worth mentioning, that our water bill went from an average of around 50 bucks, down to 23 :)

Update: 12/21.2012.... I still have my washer and I still love it ! No problems whatsoever, only super clean laundry.
