Product review (5 stars): This is the way washers should be built
Replaced a 30+ year Maytag with this machine seven months ago.  So far it has done everything ask of it without so much as a hiccup.  Did a lot of research on washers before purchasing.  Found the "Consumer" magazine of record doesn't recommend this brand - probably because it does use somewhat more water.  BUT, IT CLEANS THE CLOTHES!  Has as many options as the the high tech models and doesn't grow mold!  No need for special detergents or the use of dedicated cleaners to combat the molds growing in inaccessible crevices.  Much closer to the basic clothes washer you remember from your youth and as sturdy (or more so).  Yes, it does cost some what more but, for my family, it is proving its worth with every load.

Two years on and it is still performing like a champ.  Continue to highly recommend.
