Product review (5 stars): Great appliance after 6 months.... and one year update
I own a bed and breakfast and do between 3-10  loads per day. I have been working this machine like a beast for 6 months and have been satisfied with my laundry.

I will say that the cycles are a lot longer than I was used to with my top loader. Still, I think that is only to be expected given the small amount of water used. To get my sheets whitest white I use the special white cycle. You can also use a sanitize cycle for items like towels and bathmats. All of the cycles leave the items a bit twisted into knots, but if you shake them out before putting the items into the dryer they are fine. I also frequently use the extra rinse cycle if I am concerned about a packed load which may have some residue. Which brings me to the point of SIZE of load. I have stuffed 3 rooms' worth of laundry in one load-- sheets with 4 pillow cases each, and towel sets for two people. I can't believe how much laundry I can do in one load and and how white and clean they get.

It is important to use only the recommended amount of soap. I became heavy-handed with the soap and the experienced a system shut-down due to too much soap.

I think the washer looks great-- very space-aged and clean looking.  I have the units stacked, which I didn't think was possible with such large appliances.

I also think the washer runs fairly quietly. The only time I ever hear it is when the spin cycle kicks in.

Both the washer and the dryer were expensive units but seem to be worth the money when it comes to heavy use and clean laundry.

I've now been using the units for over a year. They still clean and dry great. I only have one complaint, and it is kind of a big one. I started to notice that some of my sheets were torn-- some after only one wash. This kept happening, and happening. I finally discovered the culprit. The "peg" which starts the machine when the door closes is a metal fin which sits right in the middle of the area where your clothes inevitably get dragged over. The peg is just raw metal, no plastic coating, no soft, rounded corners.  I actually had to take a (freshly torn) sheet off the peg. I am just stumped as to why this peg couldn't be coated with something protective. Now that I know the issue exists, I can be more careful removing clothes from the dryer.
