Not happy with this machine
2
Posted by: from CA on 05/11/2012I was so happy to get my new machine after my old one died. I researched different ones and knew I wanted a top loader. Went in to store and agreed on purchasing this machine. I was told that I DIDN'T have to get "HE" soap... I got the machine and YES I DO NEED "HE" SOAP! Ok, so, I got over that. Ran my first load a queen comforter.. Which I was told "a 1000 percent your machine will work perfectly with a queen comforter!" Well, it fits but the machine has to stop and add water to adjust the comforter then begin to wash and again stop add water and adjust.. This goes on for OVER AN HOUR! Finally the load is done. I do another load clothes... a smaller load.. and same problem!!! It is so irritating that one, it is taking over an hour to wash one load and two, the my HE machine is adding more and more water. I have a feeling that instead of seeing a decrease in my water bill I will see an increase! I wish I would have chose a different machine!

Best washer I've ever had!
5
Posted by: from Indpls., In. on 05/09/2012I was happy that my old washer broke down, I have been wanting an HE top loader for a long time. I have had this a couple of weeks now and have put it to the test. I have washed everything imaginable and used every cycle. No matter what I washed it came out beautifully. This washer does a great job getting the clothes clean and it is soooo quiet I almost forget it's on. The money I'll save on soap & softener alone will add up quickly, not to mention what I'll save on my water bill. This is by far the best washer I've ever had & I got it on sale at a great price!

Good washer, Great Features, Pricey

Posted by: from Fayetteville, AR on 05/06/2012This washer gets clothes cleaner than our old agitator model ever did. There are some good features with this machine -- such as sensing the correct water needs for the load you've put in it, options for soak and extra rinse if needed, delayed wash, a delicates cycle, and so on. In fact, there are so many settings and options for washing the clothes that my wife is the only person in our household smart enough to use the machine! The detergent holder/dispenser collects water and has to be emptied after each load and the lid needs to be left open to prevent mildew from possibly growing inside the machine -- that's a design issue, I suppose, and it's unhandy. With cats in the house, I worry about any open appliances. Also, if you're accustomed to using the top of your washer and dryer to fold and stack the clean clothes out of the dryer, the curved surfaces of the washer and matching dryer don't encourage this. Over all, the quality of this machine seems to be good, but it is a bit pricey.

Grreat Washer

Posted by: from Clinton, MD on 05/02/2012It has all the functions you may need to wash any load. It's child proof once it has started. The cubic room is a decent size too

was good in the beginning, then stopped

Posted by: from new jersey on 05/01/2012We bought this washer because our old agitator stopped working and HE is the way to go these days. This is our second washer, same brand the first one leaked water, replaced it then got the same one. Was great for almost one month and the thing just stopped working mid cycle, no power, lid locked clothes sitting in water. BB is coming out in 4 days have to go pick out another washer and going to return the matching dryer also. This is crazy this will be our third washer since March. Always purchase a service plan well worth it because appliances are not made like they used to be made in our parents days. Might look to purchase a front loader, a little hesitant to buy anything anymore.

I am so impressed with this washer, dryer

Posted by: from Pensacola Fl. on 04/24/2012I saw the washer, dryer went on sale the next week, so I got a 75.00 refund,plus a 75.00 rebate from Gulf Power. The rebate is on the BB site. I have no complaints at all. I feel I am taking better care of our clothes with a lot less water.
