Product review (4 stars): Great but quirky machine
I've had it for about 2 months now.  Overall, I really like the machine.  Thus far it has done a really good job cleaning.  A couple of quirks:  The preset cycles are just that - preset, w/o a lot of ability to change things.  Depending on cycle, you may not be able to change the soil level to lowest or increase water temperature to highest, etc.  The machine is highly automated and does a lot of sensing, it uses very little water and spins the clothes so fast they come out almost dry!  Because it spins so fast it can vibrate and be a bit noisy if the load is unbalanced (like a bath towel mixed in with a bunch of underwear).  My only major complaint is due to it's design and energy star rating, it won't do a true hot water wash - it always mixes in cold water and unless you select the SANITARY cycle (which activates the internal heater), the water will be quite cool even on the hot setting.  I use liquid HE detergent so this hasn't been a problem, but I wonder if powders or pods would completely dissolve in such cool/cold water.
