Product review (4 stars): Great washer -  just needs a soak cycle to be perfect!
We purchased this washer in  spring 2010... and have been very, very satisfied. I waited until now to write a review to make sure I WAS satisfied. (After we figured out that the cold cyle REALLY did work, it was merely the installer who reversed the cold and hot water hoses).  The high speed spin does cause more wrinkles than the old style washers,  but if the sheets are combined with other items and done on the SHEETS cycle, they don't tangle any more than normal.  I shopped very carefully for this machine (don't like front loaders).

My BIGGEST  disappointment is the fact that I can no longer SOAK clothes in the washer.  Since we "oldsters" are always spilling things (like coffee) down the front of our shirts...being able to soak out stains is a critical part of my laundry.  Now I have to pre-soak (in my beloved oxy-clean) in a basin...rather a pain, but do-able.  The tub size is wonderful on this machine and we love the stainless steel.  The machine is Q U I E T!...which I appreciate, since the laundry room is very near the kitchen .
