I have had this washer, the matching dryer, and two pedestals for about two weeks. Everything went smoothly, from time of purchase, through delivery, and catching up with a couple of weeks of accumulated laundry. I tried to be very careful, reading reviews of many machines, and think that, while maybe I would have been just as happy with some of the others, these machines are fantastic! I haven't used all of the features yet, I am still being very entertained with being able to wash more and get it all done better and faster. I've even washed every blanket and comforter in the house. I replaced a 20 year old Kenmore pair that finally had both broken at the same time. What a marvelous change. I can't believe how much cleaner my end product is. I guess that we have been wearing slightly unclean clothes for a while. I have been keeping the detergent drawer a bit ajar, just in response to some of the suggestions that others gave about freshness. I also put a folded dishtowel inside the door so that it stays a bit open as well. Better safe than sorry, I guess. Silly as I thought it sounded in other reviews, I even enjoy the little song at the end of a cycle. I know, I should get a life, but in the life I have, I am actually having fun with a washer/dryer. There are now clothes that I used to hang to dry, that I let go through the dryer. My husband's wrinkle free cotton shirts actually come out wrinkle free! Since I don't iron, that is a very good thing. Some people complained about the extra length of time for a cycle. Since I can do more at once, that seems to be a non issue. Some people complained about it not putting enough water in, so that the clothes still had soap in them. I think that they are probably not following the directions on the HE detergent and machine. I have washed and washed and washed, and have not ever had that problem You really only need a tiny bit of that detergent. In some cases, more is simply not better. I have washed delicates, towels, blankets, jeans, everything. I have been keeping the books on top of the machines so that I can make sure that I am using the suggested cycles, etc. and it has all been perfect. My machines are on the ground floor, on tile on the concrete slab. Noise has not been a problem. I have had full loads of towels go to spin, and not even noticed, from 20 to 25 feet away through an open door. I never, or rarely ever, write reviews, and this one was a must. If you are on the fence, buy these machines.
What's great about it: Everything seems to be just, or better than, advertised and reviewed.
