Product review (5 stars): GREAT Washing Machine
This thing is the bomb.  I didn't purchase it through Amazon, but rather bought it at a local appliance store after reading the reviews.

As stated, there are no computer panels, no fancy controls, no "steam" option or any of the other 40,000 things my old front-loader did.  This machine does nothing except clean your clothes really well.

I had two front loading machines prior to this, and hated both of them.  If I didn't leave the door open, the mold smell appeared within a day.  The rubber gasket around the door - on both machines - wore out after a few years.  And it would take - no exaggeration - over an hour for a simple load of clothes.  I think that because this machine fills with water (like the old fashioned ones our mothers used) it gets clothes cleaner.  It's that simple.

Very, very happy with this purchase.
