Product review (1 stars): Do not buy this machine under  A N Y circumstances
The one star is one star too many! My wife and I purchased this machine in May 2011 to replace an old Kenmore.  The new washer matched the Whirlpool dryer we purchased a year before that.  The washer - HUGE mistake.  It uses less water and is environmentally friendly.  However, it doesn't wash anything.  When it starts, the machine weighs the clothes and determines the water level.  Because it uses so little water, the color clothes are never clean.  They was covered in soap stains - there's not enough water to soak and wash the clothes.  So instead of saving water, we're using more water because we wash them two and three times to remove the soap.  And we are not always successful.  We have thrown out good clothes because we can't remove the dried soap.
