Product review (4 stars): Has run like a champ for six years
My Equator arrived and did everything but agitate the load.  I called, a serviceman arrived, diagnosed and returned with the correct part and it's worked great ever since.

One thing to know before buying is that once the machine is started, there is a timer-lock on the door.  To open, you need to push the power button off and wait for about three minutes.  You'll hear a soft click and at that point it's safe to open the door. Forcing the door will break it and the doors are not covered by the warranty.

Besides having worked reliably for me, I like the fact that this equipment is extremely energy efficient.
