- 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: Removable 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.)

A: I have only washed one load so far and that on QUICK CYCLE. It took approximately 50 minutes from start to finish. I wasnt impressed with the "Owners manuel" that came with the washer. Had to go to the website to try and find just WHAT could be washed in the QUICK CYCLE. Got disgusted, put in a "normal" load for us and hoped for the best. Also, was disapointed to find no recepticle for soap and fabric softner. Grateful to have found a replacement washer in a hurry but not greatly impressed with options vs price...

Overall a good machine.
I went with this model because I really like the removable agitator. I can take it out and easily load my bed comforter. With the agitator it cleans well. I came from a front loader which always had an oder to it. I was constantly running cleaner (Afresh) through it. This does not seem to have that problem. As for the drawbacks it doesn’t let you manually select your spin cycle speed but, i have not had a problem with the machine going out of balance yet. The other drawback is it is a bit noisy. It gives an intermittent buzz…silence…buzz…silence when operating. I would rather the noise be constant not so loud.

Quiet and gets Clothes Clean
This is my review after 1 month of ownership on this washer. Keep in mind that I am coming from an old and extremely noisy washer that I got when I bought my home. But overall this is a very nice washer. Our old washing machine was so loud you could hear it running on a quiet night a few houses over down the street. Not wanting to be bad neighbors I went out and bought this one and am very happy. Time will tell as far as quality goes. Pros: - Quiet - Clothese are MUCH cleaner compared to old washer - Removable Agitator is good for when you have large loads of laundry - Volume on this washer allows me to wash a queen sized conforter, a king sized comforter and all the bedding/pillow cases in one load - Soft close on the glass door is smart so it doesn't shatter Cons: - No smart functions - This washer was $650 when I bought it but by the time you add in the warranty, installation and removal you're looking at close to $900 already. - The glass door was only cool for the first few loads but I am writing this at 35 years old

Needed to fit in a small space
I wouldn’t have bought this washer if I could have found another one I liked that would fit into the 27” deep closet I have. This washer is louder than my old one. And it doesn’t do as good of a job of spinning excess water out of the clothes and towels (they are still very wet at the end of the cycle). There is no instruction manual for the washer. I even checked the Whirlpool website. The lid lock is a pain, but I found a YouTube video that helped. You must press and hold the lid lock button for a second or so and release it. Then, it takes about 5 seconds for the command to register and for the lid to lock. I got this washer on sale for $160 off, so I’m okay with that price for this washer.
