Had 25 year old Maytag that finally quit. Bought this along with dryer and I LOVE IT. Never thought I'd say it's a pleasure to do laundry. Did not want bells and whistles and it's perfect for me.
I’m still learning how to use it. Right now it’s very confusing. I thought it would be simple with the knobs instead of push buttons. I hope I get the hang of it soon. i’m trying to figure out how to get the clothes to soak without the water draining out.
I exchanged a NEW Whirlpool washer with the Hotpoint washer as the Whirlpool was dreadful (as many reviews showed AFTER my purchase!) to use and manipulate the settings that I wanted. I have used Hotpoint for years in the UK and now in the USA and you have always been a good product.
