Product review (2 stars): Simplicity Ruined by Extra "Features"
Here are two things that annoy me most about this washer:

1. You cannot pre-soak a load of laundry. The washer will automatically drain out the water if the lid is not closed.
2. You cannot change the water level mid cycle. You will have to cancel the entire load which drains out all the water then restart the cycle with the new water level.
3. The level of cleanliness of the cloths is on par with non-brand name washers which don't look as nice but still get the job done.
