Product review (5 stars): Buy it! Mine is 8 years old still works like new
(edit: it has now been 8 years and still works as the first day.)
I purchased this machine 5 years ago. Im still using it every weekend to lighten up my laundry loads. Now i do all of my baby's laundry here as well. I have gotten back my investment many times over and i continue tobe happy with my purchase. Some of the heaviest tems i wash are jeans, baby towel, my baby's play mat and once my cotton bath rug.
