Product review (3 stars): If you love tearing your washer apart yearly then this is the washer for you!
Do you enjoy taking things apart for repairs annually?  Do you find entertainment value in appliances that need constant maintenance?  Do you find clamping/unclamping drain hoses relaxing?  Do you have a strange fetish with cleaning filters out?  If you answered 'Yes' to these questions, then this is the washer for you!
I found some amazing things in my washer's pump trap, such as children's socks, hair, rings, dollar bills and coins... even 2 quarters!  I would like to know how all of that stuff even made it through in the first place (magic?!).  But at least now I know that the washer really is responsible for those missing socks...
I love getting to spend 3 hours tearing my washer apart once a year when it stops draining, just to see the amazing treasures waiting for me inside.  If you also love drain trap treasure hunting, then do not hesitate and buy now!

UPDATE: December 2014- My washer stopped draining again and I had to tear it apart and clear the pump intake.  This time I found 2 of my teenagers short socks, A gold dollar, 2 quarters, a penny and an ALL color catcher sheet that I rarely use.  This is the 4th time in about 6 years I have had to do this, this time I made it 15 months.  I have 3 kids who are all at least 5 foot tall, so no baby socks and they usually check their pockets before doing their laundry.

I did update the star rating from a 1 to a 3 because while this is a pain in the ass, the pump, surprisingly has not burned out!  I have actually not had any other issues with this, but the matching dryer destroys anything with a strap.. there is a snag point on the lint catcher.
