Product review (2 stars): Bad technology
We replaced our old GE washer with, so called "water saver", Whirlpool.  I sort of worked at first.  But, the nuisance of not being able to open the lid after starting a load was very aggravating.  After about 6 months it started washing without adding any water.  Then it would sometimes work, then add a little water, then not spin out.  Needless to say we are not pleased.  This machine obviously has too much technology gone bad.  Buy something else.
