Product review (1 stars): How do I hate it, let me count the ways....
The only good thing I can say about this up-to-date, computerized, HE piece of crapola is that it's better than the previous up-to-date, computerized, HE piece of crapola front-loading machine I had before. Sometimes I can get a load clean in one washing with this one, as opposed to the previous "washer."

Other reviewers have pointed out things I hate about it:
-Real energy efficient, unless you actually want to get clothes clean without having to wash them twice or drastically exaggerating the size of the load (set it on 'bulky' & 'high soil level even if your'e only washing 2 slightly dusty towels).
-noisy; makes an amazing amount of noise even tho there's no sloshing sounds. What I didn't see in other reviews were the incredibly annoying & LOUD bebeeps & boops that the stupid thing makes at various times throughout the washing process, apparently just to prove to the entire neighborhood that this washer is oh-so-computerized robotic and futuristic that R2D2 would beg it to marry him. And you can't turn them off! And I can't find the stupid speaker to rip it out!
-Fabric-eater: this wouldn't be so much of a problem for me if it weren't for the one cloth item in the world that I will actually spend money on: good sheets. I now have ZERO good sheets left because EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has multiple holes eaten in them by this demon-spawned excuse for an appliance. I spent YEARS finding sheets that were comparable to the old, incredibly crisp & smooth Wamsutta sheets I used for 25+ years & then spent hundreds --literally a fortune for me-- to buy them. Then this thing pokes holes in them. This has me seeing red & beyond, into infrared. (for those who're like me & find that most sheets feel like burlap, see below, bottom).

Some I didn't notice, but probably are there somewhere:
-You have to reset the stupid settings EVERY TIME you do anything. I have a very painful hand/wrist condition that makes these "touch" controls extremely painful --no touch about 'em, you have to MASH them firmly. You can't just set it to whatever you use most & only re-set when washing a different kind of load; you have to reset for every load, AND reset if you interrupt a load. Which brings me to the...

-Door lock; like many modern washers, the automatic door lock engages whenever you start it, & won't disengage until you WAIT, even if nothing is moving & no parts have even STARTED to move. It's as if manufacturers are convinced that the potential energy in a spinning drum --or one that is thinking about starting to spin-- is so great that it has to sit at rest for several minutes before anyone gets near it or the potential energy will be unleashed in a nuclear fireball that will annihilate square miles of countryside, slaughtering thousands, leaving a radioactive wasteland, & (worst of all) opening the company up to lawsuits. Briefly, Maytag: it won't.

A word about the "water saving" benefits of this monster money-waster: in the month after I got a puppy our water usage more than doubled. Of course, I did have a lot more laundry --tinkled-upon towels/clothing, puppy bath towels, etc. However, one of the main reasons it went up so much was that I had to wash everything twice to get rid of urine odor, even though I used more than recommended enzymatic urine-destroyer (which really does work...IF it gets well-distributed thru the fabric). If washed only once, the puppy would zero in on & immediately tinkle on anything that'd been in the load with the urine-y towels; the washer used JUST enough water to spread around the urine, but not enough to distribute  the enzymatic cleaner & actually wash everything out. Wunnnnnderful.

And yes, I've read the instructions, tried different HE detergents, temp settings, etc etc. This thing just simply sucks out loud. VERY loud.

-8/14/13 edit: replaced this blasted thing with a very old-fashioned-type Speed Queen top loader with 3 mechanical dials: temp settings (3), load size, & cycle (normal/heavy, perm press, delicates/hand wash). It was about 1/2 the price of the Bravos X (even the name is pretentious!). Bliss. Uses less water, washes better, faster, & quieter. It opens without me having to wait for eons. Easier on the hands. I'm still using the washing bags for delicates that I bought for what was left of the sheets, mostly out of paranoia & the fact that they're already damaged -- & my sewing skills may not provide the sturdiest repairs. UNLESS you live in coastal Oregon & are looking on Craigslist for a washer, in which case the Bravos X is an incredible deal, buy it now!!

For sheet maniacs: Thomas Lee cotton sheets are FANTASTIC...they feel good when you get 'em, then get smoother after each washing. TL will even send a free sample of their fabric, & the customer service is great. No, I don't work for them, own stock, or anything else. I'm just amazed that such good sheets still exist & that there's still company with great cus serv!)
