Product review (1 stars): Don't buy
I bought this set locally three years ago and should have gone with my gut and returned it the first week.  But my husband thought it would be too much hassle and told me maybe we just have to get used to having an HE machine and the different way it cleans.  Really, really should have sent these right back.  Three years later, I cannot SELL this set, still working "fine", on Craigslist for $500.  Nobody wants HE machines, because they are shiny, fancy, pieces of junk.

The washer barely fills with water.  I use the extra water function, and with that it sort of puts in enough water, sometimes.  Many times I'll find clothes sticking up out of the water, and not moving around enough to actually be submerged.  I have stood there and watched this washer work, thinking, "Okay, these clothes cannot possibly be getting clean."  And they really weren't.

Odors do not come out of clothes unless you put it on a soak, and the heaviest settings with the most water, taking up to 2 hours of wash time.  We also have to use the most expensive Tide and Downy available to have any hope of the clothes smelling okay.  And even then at times they still smell musty or not clean.  Sweat odors also do not come out well.  And why have a huge capacity washer if you can't fill it full with clothes?  Smaller loads need to be washed to have any hope of them coming out somewhat clean smelling.

The spin is so harsh that it literally twists up the clothing and ties everything in knots.  Sometimes I have to untie legs of pants and tights and shirt sleeves to get them out.  And then, everything is permanently twisted into wrinkles that the dryer can't even get out.

Any little problem with the weight of your items will unbalance the washer, and you have to go in and try to make the washer happy.  It isn't easy.

The lid locks, so throwing in a last minute washcloth or sock is a pain to wait for it to unlock, then relock, then rebalance, then restart.

In a nutshell, this washer will clean your clothes halfway, and wrinkle them double.  As a side note, an appliance guy told me today that if you put clothes that have been washed for awhile in an HE machine into an old fashioned machine without soap, the old fashioned load will end up full of suds because of all the soap that the HE machine leaves behind!  Because HE machines don't really "rinse", they just sort of squirt off the clothes.

The dryer is okay, except that we had to get the seal repaired after the first year.  Plus, it doesn't always dry quite right, and of course it can't possibly dry out all the wrinkles put in by the crazy washer it comes with.

Oh and the finish on the top does not wear well.  It scratches super easily, especially if you tend to put laundry baskets on top like we do.  After three years the tops of these look pretty bad.  And all the plastic parts in and around the machine end up very yellowed and yucky looking.

After owning this set for three years, we have had enough.  Expensive lesson learned...learn from our mistake!  We went today and bought a SQ set....old fashioned, dials, plenty of water, no frills, well made set.  I can NOT wait to wash all of our dingy clothes in a REAL washing machine!
