Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the 4.5 Cu. Ft. Top Load Washer, particularly noting its quiet operation, effective cleaning, and user-friendly design. The large capacity is also appreciated, along with the inclusion of an agitator. However, some customers have reported issues with the spin cycle noise and the machine occasionally going off balance, with a few mentioning water leaks.

    This washing machine is loud. Much louder than the one it is replacing. I have had company downstairs and they have remarked on how loud it is. I had someone come out today to look at my 5 month old washer and he said it’s normal. If you’re looking for a quiet washing machine, this is not the one for you.

    It’s a nice washing machine. But I have been having issues with error messages since I’ve gotten it installed. It uses way less water, so sometimes I feel like the clothes are getting as clean. Sometimes the cycle doesn’t even start after the lid lock. It barely will spit out water and the clothes would be completely dry, or just doesn’t seem like they were cleaned. It’s been frustrating and made me consider almost going back to a traditional old school washing machine that I had before.

    The machine constantly has the load become unbalanced regardless of load size, water level cycle setting, or setting for soil level or spin level and the basket will bang around aggressively against the inside frame of the unit. We are constantly having to pause the load on spin cycle, redistribute the clothing and have even had to hand ring items out that were still soaked with water.

    I purchased a washer and dryer and the delivery guys who were very honest with me admitted to damaging the washer while unloading. He took photos and sent them to Best Buy. I was offered two options 1. To keep the damage one until they replaced it or take a small percentage off the price. I opted for option 1. Long story short Best Buy did NOT honor either option so I’m paying for a damaged washer that I didn’t damage.

    "max" fill is only 1/2 so if you need to wash something bulky like a bedspread, you have to wash the bottom half, pull it out, turn it upside down and wash the other half. It walks across the floor & I'm afraid it's going to pull the hoses out. Auto fill doesn't work at all - the top 1/2 of your clothes are dry

    Never had a chance to use it. Best Buy installation crew was extremely unprofessional, to the point I had them take the machine back and bought the same one from Home Depot for a cheaper price and the delivery and installation went flawless.

    DO NOT PURCHASE! The machine looks great but washes clothes poorly. They remain smelly and stained. You cansee the clothes stay in their same spot as they wash. The deep fill doesn’t actaully fill the tub. Do not waste your money. BEST BUY switched the machone out without issues.
