Product review (5 stars): Seems to be a great washer!
My 3-year old Whirlpool duet front loader was giving out & the repairs were so expensive that I chose to purchase new machines.  I've only done a couple of loads in this machine, but it seems to do a great job! Yes, better than the Whirlpool it replaced.  Not a disappointment.  I got the matching steam dryer and the laundry folding top (which I just love).  Overall, I am pleased with the purchase.  Advice: Do yourself a favor and get the extended warranty.  They cost less than a repair call.
