Cleans the cloths well. Very easy to operate. It would be nice to have the option to turn off the sounds, but I knew it's not possible when I bought it. Very quiet operation and the high spin gets most of the water out of the cloths, makes the dryer work much easier.

Purchased to replace older Duet washer which we had for 11 years. After researching decided that this model offered similar features from previously owned model and we would be able to use our existing pedestal base. Purchased it on sale and very happy with performance of it so far. The cycle times seem faster and indicator for remaining time seems to be more accurate. Like the options of adjusting temperature and spin speeds on each individual cycle or you can just use the preset options. Clothes are drier with fast spin, but more wrinkled. Just takes some experimentation to find the settings that get the wanted results.

This is a very solid unit. Our old one, a top-loader, would come unbalanced as well as move around from vibration. Not this unit: it's heavy and solid-feeling. It's also way quieter than our old one. Very surprised how well built it looks and the overall quality for the price. It washes very well. Added the detergent is easy because the little pullout drawer is convenient. The controls are a bit touchy. For instance, if you lean over it or brush against it, you can easily trigger unintended button-pushes. It happened while I was installing, and to my wife a few times. It hasn't happened since we realized it was sensitive though, so not a big deal. The only other con was the bizarrely complicated method for switching the door hinge. It was like 15-20 screws and a bunch of steps. Tip: when you read the instructions, make sure you scan until you find the description of the unit you purchased. Sounds obvious, but it was hard to understand and I selected the wrong one at first and inadvertently rotated the glass. This unit doesn't need the glass rotated. So it's a bunch of screws but not too hard. Very happy with the purchase. It is well-built, heavy, cleans well, and quiet. Definitely recommend.
