It takes 3 attempts to wash pillows. first load, wash one side, second load turn them over . then wash them a third time. I keep the setting on bulky in hopes to get the whole load wet the first time, know matter what I wash I might need to wash again....

HORRIBLE!!

 

This machine should be recalled. It will not clean your clothes and it will break down repeatedly within 1st yr. Tech will not fix the issue and will blame customer saying you are using too much soap (which is why the clothes are not clean) and...

I wish I could rate it at less than one star

 

A household of three and this piece of garbage can't keep caught up. Do not buy one of these you will be sorry. You can not wash a load of five towels, it will stop and they steep in the soapy water until you find that it has sat for an hour doing...

So disappointing!!!

 

If you have over an hour to wait for a general load of laundry to be done then this is your washer. The pause cycles are redundant. It takes forever to spin out. Hate the locking mechanism - that is the biggest joke. Louder than my old 20 plus year old...

Terrible machine!

 

This is a terrible washing machine! I have owned it for a year and a half, it has already broken! The clothes have never really come out clean. I have gotten to the point of putting in a load that only fills the basin a 1/4 of the way. Complete waste...

Regret my decision

 

Having this machine is like having the government do your laundry. And we all know how effective government interference is in our lives. You may THINK you have choices, but even the 'bulky bedding' cycle uses too little water to be really effective....

I HATE this washer

 

I am 58 years old and I have never HATED a washing machine. I truly HATE this machine. It takes forever to cycle; leaves clothes dirty/dry; leaves major white spots on dark clothes and is very noisy. Makes me feel somewhat relieved just to write how...

Good machine

 

I have one of these and it is great. It adjusts the amount of water based on what type of clothing is being washed. For me that is a plus. For some people, like my grandmother, it is a problem. I think if it can get the clothes clean with less water,...
