Product review (1 stars): Every bad thing written absolutely happened to me
Purchased December 2011.  Every bad thing written absolutely happened to me. Noticed from the beginning clothes didn't seem to get clean. Yes, SOAP always on my dark clothes - ALWAYS have to do an extra rinse spin cycle.  I am down to using maybe 1/8th cup of HE soap and still have soap on my clothes.  Piece of crap.  Now, after 38 months, YEP, it stopped spinning.  I should have had ABT take the machine back after the first week.  NO WAY am I putting one more dollar into this piece of crap.
Planning on buying the most basic Roper model washer - I understand they are the only ones who make the old fashioned top loading washer.  And, only about $350.  I will save energy and water by not having to rewash every freaking load.  And, I expect my new $350 washer will last more than 10 years.  There should be a class action law suit.  And I asked a very trusted store to make a recommendation as I needed a washer and I had always been so pleased with their service.  Serves me right for not doing adequate homework.
