Product review (4 stars): Doesn't deserve the bad rap
I don't know what all the negative rants are about.  I've had this washer for 7 months and I have had absolutely no problems with it.  The clothes come out clean, the water sensor puts in plenty of water and I have no complaints - well, except for the locking lid that many have complained about.  That locking lid really is annoying - even though you can stop the cycle easily by a quick press of the start button.  But is that REALLY necessary and does it HAVE to be locked when it's filling up with water?  I think their attorneys made them add that "feature."

But other than the locking lid, it has been a fine washer.  The noises are quite different than a conventional washer but that, too, is something you get used to.
