I received the machine as a precious gift from family members when my Whirlpool washer was irreparable. I quickly set about to see how the machine would operate. I put the detergent pod and fabric softener in and put my clothes in. I started the machine and went to the living room. The sound coming from my utility room was mixed. Agitation sounded louder than my previous washer. Other sounds were normal by previous washer experience. Overall, pleased with the machine!
I have never had a washer with a basin so large. I have been washing dog fleece blankets non stop for weeks now to catch up. The washer gets them clean the first wash because of the 4.0 basin size. I’m so happy!
As close as you can find to a non computer controlled washing machine. Does not limit you to a predetermined "energy efficient" washer level. This one has a four settings water level knob, much like the older style washing machines. It really fills up the tub, especially at max water level position. It is a bit perhaps loud in operation but not much more than average. The main point is that this machine is not a government mandated water miser!! The agitator works really well. I have previously bought Whirlpool products but I am convinced this washer is far better and the price certainly is better! If you want clean clothes and the ability to more control water level- then you need this machine! I love mine. It is fantastic after suffering through "load sensing" efficency washers- which is a term that is anything but correct!! Having to wash clothes twice to get clean is not efficient!! This machine is solid and practical and I strongly endorse it.
