Nice Venting Washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the venting feature and the use of Microban antimicrobial technology. Since mold was a problem on a previously owned front loader that all always left the door open when not in use. Plenty of options have the laundry coming out clean. The app is nice to know when the washer is done, since the alarm is not that loud.

Exceeded my expectations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The machines run so quietly that sometimes I forget I was using them. The two guys who delivered and installed the machines were fantastic, They completed the job in a blink of an eye. They were courteous and professional, I hope they will be sent to deliver my refrigerator at my other property

Ventilation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love our new washer and dryer. Only negative thing I could say is they’re loud but everything echos in our house. I love the venting button that helps prevent any mold. That’s what sold us on it in the first place

Great washer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our first front loader. I was a bit nervous. We also purchased the stand with drawer to raise so that we didn’t have to bend as much. Great washer. It’s quiet, just make sure that it is properly balanced when installed.

Good price and reliable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this online sight unseen but it had great ratings online as both reasonably priced and reliable. So far it has not disappointed. Considerably bigger than my old maytag and very smart (for a washer), alerting me on my phone when washing is near complete and complete. Only had it a few weeks, but so far so good.

Fresh Vent System Works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have stayed away from front load washers due to the musty odor but took a chance that the new vent system technology would prevent this. It works! No odor and my clothes smell clean and fresh after every wash. The spin cycle is amazing and my clothes come out of the washer feeling almost dry. I am extremely happy with my washer.

Motherboard and wiring issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this washer just over a year ago. Q year and 3 days after purchase, they door lock mechanism faolsd and i had laundry stuck in there for 3 days. Finally rwcieved and installed the new lcok. A week later it started doing it again. Switch the swing on the door since it was a different set of wires and all was fine for about 3 weeks. Now the motherboard is bad. Spent $1000 for a paperweight and now am having to purchase a new set less than a year and a half later. Absolutely terrible!

Great washing machine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, we've really liked this machine. There are so many choices of different wash types; yet it's easy to use. It does a great job washing the clothes. Bonus is it does not have that horrible smell most front washers get. I guess my only complaint is it can be loud (that was most of the complaints on reviews I had read as well); however, I'd still definitely recommend.
