Product review (1 stars): Extended Warranty a life saver, buying this washer a real bummer.
We have had this machine for 4 years. It has had the technician out to work on it every year. Just scheduling this again. I am sure we are about to have our second set of bearings fail. Best thing I did was purchase Home Depot's extended warranty. Worst thing I did was buy this washer. The washer smells bad all the time because it doesn't pump out all of the water in the bottom. Have to clean it every week to keep it smelling usable and make sure you never close the lid when it is not in use. We live in the desert so that helps dry it out. If we lived somewhere wet I don't know how you would manage with it.
