Product review (5 stars): Great washing machine
I bought this washer in May 2016, so I've got 6 months experience of using it. Lots of reading internet reviews on all the various washing machine brands convinced me that front loaders were trouble, and most people wished for a washing machine like those of yesteryear. The washer I was replacing was a 1979 Maytag that came with my house back in 1999, which in my 17 years with it needed an inlet valve, a timer, two or three motor replacements, and a couple of hoses. A puddle of oil under the Maytag transmission finally necessitated the machines retirement.

Anyway, this new washer seems very much like that old Maytag, except for the electronic controls. There are many wash options that I never use, but the manual does a good job of explaining what they are and how much time they'll add. The display tells you exactly how long the wash you have chosen will take (a normal wash cycle is 29 minutes), and when the machine is running it shows the time remaining. I like that feature.

I've seen some questions about water levels, and reference to videos describing how to adjust the water fill levels. I can report that my machine, which has had no modifications or adjustments, fills to these levels:

Small load = 5 1/2"
Medium load = 9"
Large load = 12"
Extra Large = 13 3/4"

The wash tub is approx. 14 3/4" deep, so you can see Extra Large is filled just as high as you might hope. In summation, I really like this machine and would recommend it without hesitation. It gives the sense of being nice quality.
