  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: White
    • Product Height: 44 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 27 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Depth: 29 5/16 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Height With Door Open: 59 1/4 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
    • Capacity: 4 cubic feet
    • High-Efficiency: true (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: Agitator (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.)
    • Agitator Type: Dual-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)
    • Washer Load Type: Top load

    Don’t think about, just get it. Great value!

    Love this washer. I got the matching dryer and loved it so I bought this washer. It’s great. You can’t beat the price. The capacity seems way larger that 4.0cubic ft. The plus it has an agitator so I know it’s getting the clothes clean. It holds two full size comforters easily. I cannot complain about some thing!

    Best washer ive ever owned

    Simple, effective and reliable.

    I love this thing. I used to have a $900 GE washing machine with sensors that often didn't work right leaving my clothes soaking wet. This is an efficient washing machine with an agitator that gets the job done quietly. It was affordable and worth every penny.
