Product review (3 stars): The reviews are right, Buy something else!
I gave it 3 stars because it is not an entirely bad of washer.  It does its job marginally well.  However, it has a few features that are quirky annoying enough that cost this washer a 3star rating.. Cannot soak clothes longer than the predetermined soak cycle.  Any attempt results in the machine immediately draining all my cleaner and water.  Must push a button to open the lid during a cycle.  Annoying! Constant reminder to clean the machine.  It does not smell.  It is not dirty.  I use homemade soap so there is very little if any build up of soap.  I don't need the constant reminder light to do something that is expensive and unnecessary.
