Product review (5 stars): Love this washer!
Pros
My whites are cleaner on the white cycle
I can see how little water it uses - amazing
The variable spin speeds allow clothes to come out so dry that dryer time and energy usage are reduced
There are many cycles so you can choose a time as short as 18 minutes total for just a few items
It has a super duper sanitizing cycle that goes for 144 minutes and heats the water, so if you are concerned about germs and the many circumstances in life when you need to really clean something, this can do it
Quiet
Drum lights up to see inside when you open the door and when the cycle is done

Be prepared to maintenance clean the machine to keep from building up mildew bacteria
Totally worth the little extra work

Cons
None yet, worth the money over a top loader

I bought this at a local appliance store for the $749 price including free delivery and removal of my old
