The worst washing machine I've ever owned!

It never stays in balance. Even running in cleaning mode with NO CLOTHES in it, it will become unbalanced. We've tried every fix we can find (balancing the machine, washing like clothes, using less detergent) to no avail.
Was a little worried at first. I mean by the reviews you either love machine or really hate it. Well, I love it! It took a bit to get use to the cycles but once that happen everything worked. Clothes come out clean. no problems Agree with the review of the speed wash why no hot water on speed wash other than that Excellent.
About half of the loads trigger the unbalanced error, and then have to baby sit it and re-arrange the load a handful of times before it will finish. 2+ hours a load. We cannot identify a reason for this; we have read the manual and all the online advice. Owned it for a year. Stinks too; we have to use SmellyWasher regularly.
I bought this washer approximately 3 years ago and have a family of 4. I do a lot of laundry! There are several things I DO NOT like about this washer. First, it will not process smaller loads, even if you do have like items in the load. It will constantly default to unbalance. I will not leave the house while I have the washer running. The unbalanced mode will fill the tub up with water In attempt to balance the load. Second, the washer will say it's unbalanced if you do not group similar items together like all jeans or all shirts. Again it will continually fill the tub with water to "balance" the load. Lastly, the machine has a tub clean cycle. I have tried to execute this cycle numerous times without any success. When it's in the rinse and spin cycle of the tub clean cycle it will become "unbalanced" over and over. To the point that I stand by the machine and manually override it. I am doing this as I write this review! Thus far I have been unable to complete a tub cleaning! I do like that this washer will process very large loads but that is about the only positive I can think of.
