Q: QuestionDoes this machine add enough water to completely saturate and cover the clothes?(2 answers)
A: AnswerIn almost all the loads I have used my machine since owning it last fall (now it's June), the machine has barely filled with enough water to cover the clothes. This is always with the selection of the High water level. Sometimes I think the clothes aren't even completely wet or get slightly wet, so I don't feel they get very clean. I understand the push for high efficiency to some degree but when you feel you have to rewash your clothes, it takes the efficiency out of it. I don't recommend this machine.Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionCan you add water to all cycles ?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHello Cindy, you cannot add water to the cycles. We greatly apologize.Answered by WhirlpoolTeam
Q: QuestionI don't see a timer display. How long are the cycles(1 answer)
A: AnswerHello! There are no set range of cycle times for this model of washer. Cycle times vary depending on water pressure in the home, load size, amount of detergent used etc. The unit also has a soil sensor, which would sense the soil on the clothing. Which in return would adjust the time. The time in the display is an estimated time only and may adjust.Answered by WhirlpoolTeam

Giant Stuff will fit
We have had the unit for about a week now. Overall it has been great. It is super fast and it can handle things like large quilts, Down comforters, and sleeping bags. Two issues: 1. It is louder than I expected. 2. Our dryer can't keep up with its speed.
