Product review (5 stars): I love it ...so far..It's been 8 months and I still love it.  No problems.
I replaced my Whirlpool Duet with this Affinity.  I didn't want another Whirlpool because I had to replace the pump 4 times in 5 years and the struts kept breaking so it walked all over whenever it tried to spin.  So far I love this washer.  I use the steam all the time and don't have to use bleach anymore.  I got the extended warranty in case it breaks down like the Whirlpool.  By the sound of these other reviews I'm glad I got the warranty.
