Product review (3 stars): Don't Trust It
Last year I bought this high-efficiency washer. I thought for the amount of water and electricity it used, I would save money. I guess I have, but it's hard to tell. Really, I can only go by the energy "star" ratings. However, my issue is with the clothes that get ripped. I presume the ripped clothes are from the high-speed spinning. As far as I can tell, there is nothing for the clothes to get caught on inside the washer, yet somehow, it happens. I've had to discard two pairs of pants, a pair of shorts, and two tee shirts. The seams or the cuffs have been shredded for some reason. Perhaps a zipper from another pair of pants has gotten caught on these, and the high-speed spinning does the rest? It's very frustrating! Bottom line; I would hesitate to but another. Also, to avoid a mildewy smell after use, I have found it best to wipe dry the rubber gasgett and under the door, and then leave it open to air dry.
