What's great about it: Got a good deal, does the job, big rebate from the water dept.
What's not so great: No complaints
I had a lot of anxiety about moving to a High Efficiency washer. My giant, very old, White-Westinghouse machine went 20 years without a repair and then died. I enjoyed the simplicity and large capacity of the old machine.
Like other reviewers said, it really helps to read the instructions and there are some dull but helpful videos on Youtube.
Because there is no agitator post, the capacity on this machine is larger than my old machine, even though the overall washer is smaller.
Consumer Reports had me worried because this machine was listed average for noise but this machine is actually quitter than my old machine. The vibrations are well contained, which is important in this small, non-slab/elevated foundation house where the washing machine is just off of the kitchen. Overall, this machine is quieter and less obtrusive than my old machine.
I found it odd at first that the machine selects its own water level. However, after frequently stopping cycles and checking, I now have confidence that the clothes are indeed adequately soaked. Blankets and sheets have their own setting and are indeed completely submerged. There is also a deep water option. I also like the option for a second rinse cycle, though I rarely use it.
I selected this machine because it was the only HE option that had non-digital controls. I prefer these knobs over digital controls. Also, it has a normal cycle time of 45 minutes. Most of the other machines were around 90 minutes.
Getting a HE machine is a change but one you will get used to very quickly. The laundry seems well cleaned and well rinsed, and spun dry more thoroughly than a standard machine. Overall, I am completely happy with this washing machine, but if anything changes I will amend this review.
This product is or has... A great water saver, All the cycles I need, Energy efficient, Big enough capacity for a comforter, Acceptable level of noise, Doesn't vibrate my house, Easy to use controls
About me... Looking for energy savings, Budget Conscious, Always get the deal, End of cycle signal gets my attention, small family
I would recommend this to a friend!

How long does one complete cycle take?
According to Consumer Reports, the cycle time for a normal load on the normal cycle is 45 minutes. I have not timed my washer but that sounds about right. Most HE machines run longer, around 90+ minutes, according to CR.
