Product review (2 stars): Quiet, water efficient, but damages clothing
This washer is reasonably quiet.  It is just off my bedroom and does not bother me to run it while I sleep.  The clothing comes out very clean, but I do have to use the extra rinse cycle to properly rinse the clothing.  My biggest frustration is that it makes pulls in the fabric of clothing.  One table cloth was completely ruined by large thread pulls.  We cannot determine where the fabric is catching in the tub.  We do not feel any sharp edges, but it continues to happen.  I am very careful that nothing is caught in the door when I close it.  As others have said, the front gasket grabs small items (like children's socks).  It also retains a lot of water, so you need to dry the gasket with a paper towel when you are done with a day's laundry to prevent mold building up inside the gasket.
