Product review (5 stars): THESE ARE THE WASHERS YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
I purchased this washer last week from a local retailer. It was a replacement for a Kenmore He2t that I was recently given. Prior to the Kenmore, I had a Maytag washer and dryer set that was purchased in 1992 and are still running (ex has them). The Kenmore was 7 years old and started having electrical component issues, rather than dink with the component replacement that costs near 1/3 of the washer price I decided to look for something more reliable.

This is the washer I have been missing! Like my old Maytag, it is solidly built. The washer is economical as far as energy use, and my clothes are much brighter and cleaner than with the Kenmore. So much brighter my 11 year old noticed, and I thought she only noticed the latest video game releases these day! The capacity for us is perfect and I believe I can fit my comforters in it without issue but have not yet put it to the test with that. It is not super quiet, nor is it noisy, but it does not produce nearly as much noise at the spin as the Kenmore front loader. The only con I see is that it does not spin dry the clothes as well as the Kenmore so I do need to dry my clothes around 5 minutes longer depending on what they are.

I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with this purchase and hope that several years from now I will continue to be happy with it.
