Product review (5 stars): Great Product
UPDATE: 12/14/2011

WOW!!  It have been over three years and this thing still runs like a charm like the first day we installed it!!  Very low maintenance, quite and does a fabulous job with cleaning the close.  STILL with about 30 loads of laundry per week from clothes, sheets towels, comforters... you name it!  Fabulous product!!!!
++++++++++++

First off, I have been a front-load washer owner for over 7 years.  We owned the Maytag Neptune, which finally gave out via the drum bearing.  I researched a variety of front load washers under $700.  From Amana, Whirlpool, Kenmore, etc...  This product beat them all on paper with the existing reviews and the warranty.

We've had this washer for two months now and with six people in the house and we do almost 20 - 25 loads of laundery per week.  This machine has performed better than our Neptune, with the cleanliness, quietness (even at the highest spin cycle) and ease of use.  We wipe down the door and rubber seal after each load and leave the door open to reduce the likelihood of a smell, as we did with our old Neptune.  We've never had problems with mold or smells.

My wife loves this product, even with the fewer wash options than our old Neptune, there are so many other pluses.  So far, we are very satisfied with our purchase.  But with any front-load, there is some regular minor monthly maintenance that you have to perform to keep it in top condition.
