Product review (5 stars): Best purchase I ever made!
I bought this washer in 2006 (it's Jan. 2014 now) and have used it for all of my laundry (clothing, sheets, and towels).  It washes everything well, spins very dry, is gentle to my clothes, and is quiet.  Never overload it, place clothes loosely, add low-suds liquid detergent with a tablespoon measuring spoon, and be ready to occasionally redistribute clothes evenly for the spin cycle.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy another--  if I ever need one!
