Product review (1 stars): Sub-par quality in this washing machine.
This machine lasted less than 4 years in our home before the transmission went out.  Our repairman was honest in letting us know it would be cheaper to buy a new machine than to attempt repair.  And, I would never have called this machine quiet.  When in the spin cycle, it always sounded like it was going to take off and fly away.
What stinks is that it practically doesn't matter anymore what "brand" you buy, they are mostly made by Whirlpool and all are sub-par in workmanship and longevity.
 And don't even get me going on the mold/mildew that builds up between the two barrels that is impossible to to clean out.
