Product review (2 stars): Buy the extended warranty.  Seriously.  Buy it.
My suggestion, and I cannot stress this enough, buy the extended warranty from Home Depot/Lowe's/other when you buy this washer.  For ~2 yrs, it worked fine, but at some point, the agitator mechanisms will fail and you will find yourself without a functioning washing machine.  You'll know this day is coming, because your spouse will ask "Is the washer supposed to sound like that?  That doesn't sound quite right."

Also, be sure not to put too much into the washer.  That'll cause you fits. And apparently accelerate the inevitable breakdown.

I cannot wait until I can replace this P.O.S. and get something that is reliable.  I'd give it 1 star, but when it works, it's not a bad washer, egro earning that second star.
