I LOVE everything about this washer. It replaces an older very basic one that finally wore out. The smart wash, detergent dispenser, selection of washing cycles and the size of the tub is outstanding. I didn’t realize what I had been missing out by out on with my old washer. This one has it all
Everything with the washer works fine except for the spin cycle. Over 50% of the time the load is out of balance and the cycle ends up completing with the clothes sopping wet. I then have to rebalance the clothes myself and initiate the drain and spin cycle. Sometimes it works but other times the washer attempts to rebalance the clothes multiple times. Each time it rebalances it fills the tub with water which wastes a ton of water.
I did a lot of research before finally settling on this machine. It was even better than I had envisioned. So many possible cycle settings makes if perfect for any wash. The Wi-Fi feature shows the progress of the wash cycle on my iPhone and saves me extra unnecessary trips to the basement.
This washer has many features so customizing a load is very simple. My only complaints with this washer is that it seams to go out of balance frequently and it is a bit noisy.
We were so hopeful for this washing machine, but it just doesn't meet our needs well. Any time we try to wash a blanket or towels, the machine goes out of balance and does not spin properly. We've tried the spin and rinse cycle to correct this and it works about half the time. We've tried manually redistributing the laundry and that works about half the time. We've tried the bulky items setting and that works about half the time. The end result is that we have to babysit our laundry to ensure it spins out, and we spend more time (and likely more water) to finish loads with heavier items. We should note that the machine does well on loads with just clothing.
