Product review (1 stars): Do not buy this style of washer
Not sure if you can even buy this model anymore....hope that you can not. We have had it for a year now and every time I do sheets, towels, blankets (bulky items) I am running downstairs to re-balance the machine. Now before anyone says anything about my skills in loading machine properly...I will tell you that I put the load in balanced...even take in the consideration of some material being heavier wet than others. Like I said...it is only the bulky items that get off balance. This is my theory...the agitator arm that is usually in the middle of the tub is not there in this energy saving model...so items can drift over to the other side of the tub easier while the wash cycle is agitating. (you see this after you have ran downstairs re-balanced the load and then open up the lid when it is done). most times it is a towel or sheet that has fanned out across the whole tub.
We are going to probably get rid of this one... but I don't know who I would feel right giving it to...and get a font loader. Don't buy one of these low agitator upright designs... you will not like it.
