Product review (1 stars): Avoid at all costs
We bought this washer new and in 10 mos. it got very loud. The diagnosis was bad bearings which the service guys replaced, under warranty thankfully. Now it is six months later and we are seeing exactly the same symptoms. It's either a bad design, bad parts, or both. I'm very disappointed. The top loader at our old house lasted 14 years and worked perfectly. Something is wrong when major appliances like this fail multiple times in the first 1-2 years.
