Love this washer!

I bought this washer about 3 months ago and I could not be happier. I had a very hard time finding a washer that allowed me to choose my own water level. After reading from others about unclean clothes with the water saver models, I finally found this model. Yes, it does spin the clothes to an incredibly dry state, which is wonderful for drying times. Some didn't like that, but I can't imagine why. Also, there were a couple of complaints of clothes being tangled. I have only experienced this twice when I was getting used to the new machine. I had overloaded it. With this machine, as with any washer, you should never overload it. That results in tangling during the spinning process. The Hand Wash cycle is incredible! I have washed items that I would never have washed in my old machine. They are gently agitated and spin slower and come out looking great. Most of my clothes are washed in the Permanent Press cycle and I have no problems. I do not use the machine's water sensor. I still prefer to choose my own water levels, and I do not use more water than I need, but I am not yet comfortable with 6-8 inches of water to wash a load of clothes, so I simply use one of the many water levels to achieve clean clothes. The Towels and Sheets cycle is great and I have used that many times.
The only down side is that the washer does take much longer to wash clothes than my old washer, but my clothes are so clean I can't complain. The Speed Wash cycle is not as fast as you might expect, but it's still the way to go for a few items that you might need in a hurry. This model is not meant for huge loads, so I have adjusted to knowing that I have to wait longer for the wash to finish. It's worth it to have such clean clothes that are not agitated so forcefully.
The most important thing I would tell anyone is that you must allow room for this washer to agitate in the manner it does, and never overload. I wash approximately 2/3 the size load I used to wash, but it's not a problem, and I find myself being more careful to sort by colors and clothing types and I should anyway.
My only regret is that I didn't buy TWO of these washers so that when this one wears out, I'll have another like it. I fear that there won't be any user adjustable water level models on the market soon. It took quite a bit of time searching to find this one and I love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too Little Water.

I have the same complaint that a number of earlier reviewers have had - the water level is too low to effectively wash or rinse the clothes. I understand that this is necessary for the energy star rating, but I doubt that I save any energy when I use extra wash and rinse cycles. If I had known this before buying this washer, I would have repaired my old washer instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I researched various models on line, read Consumer Reports and decided to buy this model. As others have pointed out, at least some if not most owner reviews that are negative seem due to operator error. I run the washer using its auto-detect load setting and have had no problems. It is very quiet, has a stainless basket and large capacity. Got mine at a substantial discount during the July 4th white sale.

Love having choice water level or sensor

I switched from a high efficiency frontloader to this one. I love having option of choosing a load size or letting sensors decide water level. My clothes seem much cleaner than with front load washer, and the stainless steel drum looks great and holds our comforter! Really like this washer!
I would recommend this to a friend!
