Product review (2 stars): Would rather go to Laundromat
I was so excited when I purchased this machine four years ago, thinking I would be helping the environment using less water and energy! Now having spent a small fortune on stain removal sprays, bleach and double the water and energy needed to rewash our clothes, I'm actually giving the washer to a repairman for parts, simply to keep it out of the landfill. I can't even in good conscience give it to a needy family. The tipping point came when the control board malfunctioned and I was waiting on the scheduled repair, I went to a Laundromat  and my clothes are the cleanest they've been in four years! Sadly, I'm researching all the brands that Whirlpool owns to avoid any of their products based on the extreme disappointment from this experience.
