Great Washer - unknown company

Melissa from Illinois

I've had mine almost a year now and I'd strongly recommend it. A great machine from a lesser known company. Though based on my research if you went "down under" to New Zealand or Australia, this is the name to trust. It makes different noises than I was used to with my old Kenmore. Not that its noisy, it was just a different after 14 years. Definitely doesn't shake like my old one used to. That's good, too. If you're used to putting a full clothes basket on top of your washer, I wouldn't do it on this machine as the top door is plastic. Read more

After our Maytag Neptune had the good graces to die (it was horribly moldy, very costly ato fix and blew three circuit boards before we gave it the boot), I bought this machine. At first i was concerned about the weird noises it made which turned out to be normal. It wasn't long before I started to notice a lot of picked towels and more recently, a fire hazard. My wife washed a bedpillow which was thrown upward during spin and got caught between the drum and the stationary drum housing flange. At 1200 RPM, sufficient friction developed to melt the edge of the housing flange and the polyester covering on the pillow. While the maching is still operational in every way, The melted eedge is rough. The picking problem is doubtless due to the sorry excuse for an agitator which has 3 downward pointing fins with long free ends that can get caught on cloths. The edges are rather shary and unfinished. the excursion of the agitator is rather excessive and with a very low operating wate … Read more

BEST WASHER I'VE EVER OWNED!

clothes washing mommy from Southern California

I wash 10-15 loads of regular "family" laundry per week. This is the nicest washing machine (I've owned 5 various top-loading Kenmore, Maytag and GE machines over the years) I've ever owned. I'm thrilled with it, bordering on the giddy. We're so glad we made this purchase after agonizing over the "front loader vs top loader" decision. This machine has some features of both and I think it is the best of both worlds. I like you can use the AutoSense feature to only use just enough water to wet the clothes, or use the regular fill capacity to fill it up like a regular top loader. The spin cycle is amazing on the high setting (1000rpm!) and the clothes come out much less wet than a traditional top loader. You do have to sit down and really read the instruction manual a few times but once you're used to it there is nothing complicated about using the settings. In regards to the reviews that said their machine broke, I'm sure its like anything out there, occasionally you run across a … Read more

Wish I would've bought one sooner.

I love everything about it, but I wish it did not have an agitator. You could fit soooo much more in there without it. But it has ample room with it. Read more

Stay away from this one

dt from Illinois

VERY LOUD, leaks a lot (twice enough water to leak from the first floor to do damage in the basement, excessive vibration - this thing "walks" across the floor in spin cycle (and that works poorly unless all clothes are the same weight), a loud clunk before the spin cycle begins. Three service calls, one replaced drum, extra springs and it still leaked, never did get the water temperature unit fixed, and have now been without a washer for two weeks and no replacement or FP repair man in site. Barely new, been in service only since early November 2007. Stay away from this brand. Read more
