Fine, at first.
We have had this washer for over 3 years now, 11-23-13, and were satisfied to start with. In the past year it has all gone down hill. We can no longer start a load before work and come home and put it in the dryer because it will have a musty smell to our clothes. It does us no good to wash anything that the kids have peed in because it doesn't get rid of the smell and if we wash anything with it everything else smells of pee. We will be replacing the washer very soon and will likely never again get a "high efficiency" washer again.

great Machine
I bought this in April and when I got the washer I was very impressed with the look of the washer. Then I did some laundry and was very happy with how clean my clothes were. The machine was so quiet while it was running. I am very happy with the washer. I was so impressed with it that I bought a dryer.

Great Value
Have had unit for 4 months and love it. The start up music when unit is turned on is the only thing I would design to be an off/on mode.

Just learning the feature but impressed so far.
my rating is based on the comparison from the 25 year old Whirlpool that I was using to this model. Obviously it is much better.

Easy to use and change settings
We bought this 14 months ago, and we have had three warranty issues with it and now regret purchasing it all together.
