- High-Efficiency: false (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
- Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
- Washing Mechanism: Impeller (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)

Follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Then use the Rinse Options button to select Fabric Softener. The Downy Ball® dispenser will automatically release the fabric softener at the correct time in the cycle. For questions on using the Downy Ball® dispenser visit www.downy.com. ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER MANUALLY Select the Fabric Softener option on the control panel before starting a cycle. During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling, press the Start/Pause button to pause the washer. Lift the lid and add the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Close the lid, press and hold the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.

good for the price
this washer is nice in that there in no agitator. roomy enough for a king comforter too.the lid locks and the lid is a bit more flimsy than expected. pretty easy to figure out operation-wise. i had a load of towels that were clean/ well rinsed and pretty dry by the end of the wash cycle. it is more noisy than the old one i had with no lull, like constant noise the entire cycle, but for the price of 599.00 for a reliable brand i will deal with it. install was easy and was happy to pay the additional haul away fee for the 17 year old whirlpool washer i replaced.

Some Things To Consider
My 5-year old Samsung washer had the shock absorbers go bad and the replacement parts, aside from taking months to get, were going to be $400+ to replace. We discussed with our appliance repair person and he suggested if we were to buy a new washer, he would recommend Speed Queen (crazy expensive), Whirlpool, and GE (parts are harder to get and more expensive). He can work on these brands more easily and affordable than LG and Samsung. I chose this model because it is a Whirlpool, top loader, has no agitator, and is on sale making it more budget-friendly. Delivery was quick, on-time, with great guys (thanks Demetrius and Calvin)! I’ve done three loads and here’s what I’ve learned. It is loud. I mean turn up the TV, can’t hear yourself think in the kitchen loud. Certainly louder than my old Samsung. The door lock alone can be enough of a startle and the water filling is very noticeable. There is no drawer for detergent or softener. I use sheet detergent and never use liquid softener so not an issue for me. There is no way to tell where it is in the cycle as there is no visible timer. It vibrates a good deal on spin. ‘Nuff said. The door is such thin sheet metal that it feels a bit flimsy. I’m a bit disappointed that Whirlpool doesn’t do better. The good news is it washes well, spins out plenty of moisture, and I’m keeing it. It had a mark on the front and when the delivery guys reported it, Best Buy immediately called with options. We took a generous partial refund in the form of a gift card. It was a big scrape. All in all it has been a good experience and I’m happy knowing our repair person can easily work on it, if needed.
