Product review (5 stars): Ultra quiet. Ultra efficient. Gorgeous. Love it.
We  had this machine for 4 years in our last home. Loved it.  It got stains out of a white linen tablecloth that we thought were there for good. It you want a noisy, huge volume "American" style machine, that does a huge load with tons of noise and gallons and gallons of water in 15 minutes... this is not the one for you. But if you want super quiet, efficient  and effective. And can wait - this machine pays dividends. One important word of advice - be absolutely sure it is perfectly level for flawless operation otherwise it will hop all over the place.  Also - Like other front loaders it does accumulate a wee bit of water in the front gasket but if you leave the door cracked and do laundry regularly you will not have any of the mildew issues others complain about with this and similar machines.
