Product review (5 stars): This a great washer!
We bought this washer and dryer about one month ago; my husband and I both work full time and we have a 15 month old - so I've done A LOT of laundry.  They both work great and I'm very happy with the purchase!  First of all they look fantastic, I know who cares what they look like they stay in the utility room and it's not like we invite company down there but they are just so lovely it actually motivates you to keep the whole room looking good.  In addition, the pedestals (which are optional) give you room to store the detergent, fabric softener, bleach and more it's nice to have them put away and out of sight.
The washer has several automatic cycles: Delicate, Normal/Casual, Bulky itmes, Whitest Whites (those are the ones I've used) the whitest whites cycle is amazing, really.  I've done most of my wash on Normal and it takes about 40 minutes for a large load to be done.  And then, there's the dryer...completely dry in about 30.  What a time saver!
Some reviewers complained about vibration in the spin cycle, but during install we made sure everything was level and haven't had a problem.  We almost didn't buy the front loader because of the "moldy smell" problem some reviewers complained about...i've not experienced any of that and in an effort to negate any problem I've been running the clean washer cycle once a week - just a cap of bleach.
The steam option is wonderful - my son had been sick with the stomach flu and not to be graphic but we had a lot of vomity clothes; I ran everything through with the sanitize option didn't have a single stain, not even the red gatorade.
I've used the steam on the dryer to take the wrinkles out of a sweater and it worked beautifully in 15 minutes. The dryer has a damp dry signal that is helpful with bulky items...you can just toss them around and they dry a bit quicker.
As an aside, the Tuscan Chestnut color is being discontinued - if you can find a set they are being deeply discounted.  In short, I really love both the washer and dryer.  Hope this is helpful!
