Product review (1 stars): Pick a different machine
I bought this washer when my old front-loader bit the dust (did not buy from Amazon). I have been using it for several months and I have been pretty unhappy with it. The clothes seem to spend a lot of time floating around above water level, especially large items like sheets. On some loads, there seems to be adequate water to clean the contents of the machine; on others, a tiny amount of water that reaches about halfway up the layer of clothes. I like that it's a top-loader, but performance is poor (yes, I read the manual and follow the instructions). I would not recommend this washer.
