Product review (4 stars): 13 months old and got an oil leak!
I absolutely loved this washer until it leaked 13 months later. Yep, big fat oil leak under the washer. I am sooooo disappointed. I spent $900 instead of $450 on an upright because of the reputation, reviews, warranty, and allegedly metal parts (instead of plastic). It was cleaning everything beautifully and my husbands clothes get lots of stains from his job! Anyway, we had to call a repair guy to come out now and I feel really let down. I thought I had finally found a machine that lasted and actually let me choose my water level and had sturdy parts as well as cleaned beautifully. There are only two of us so it isn't like it has had massive use. At least it has a 3 year P&L warranty and a 5 year parts warranty. They will fix it but it is discouraging. I was hoping I'd have this machine for years and years like the old days.

Update:  another year later and no more problems so far. 8/9/17
