I like it.

Please read up on High-Efficiency washing machines. This is one and might not be for everybody.

It took about 10 uses before that new smell went away. Clothes occasionally still have a smell, but I think that might be from me not getting detergent and load sizes right.  This is a High-Efficiency model, and I've never used one before. A full load of pants seems to be a no-no.  That occasional moist smell otherwise goes away from the cloths once it dries.  The manual does say there's a bit of maintenance to perform, like making sure to not close the door after a wash so that the tumbler air-dries.  Nothing to complicated, but that does raise it's difficulty of use to moderate.

My only real complaint is that I wish the stands (sold separately) were not so expensive (I need two since I also have the matching gas dryer). Since I can't open the door with a hamper in front of it otherwise.
