This is the worst washer I have ever owned. It does not fill the washer with enough water to wash the clothes. The clothes rarely come clean. It is very loud. Don't waste your money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Modern, high-efficiency (HE) and non-agitator washers use less water by design for improved performance and energy savings. If you believe the water level is too low, consider these solutions:
1. Check Cycle and Modifiers:
Water use is determined by the selected cycle and modifiers (Soil Level, Spin Speed, Temperature). Customize these settings, noting that not all options are available with every cycle.
2. Water Level Selection (If Applicable):
Auto Sensing: Turn the knob to Auto Sensing to let the washer automatically determine the level based on load size for efficient use.
Deep Water Wash: Select Deep Water Wash for the maximum water volume, ideal for bulky or heavily soiled items. NOTE: This increases overall cycle time.
3. The Bulky Cycle:
The Bulky Cycle uses a unique series of fills combined with agitation for large, absorbent items. It may initially look like there's insufficient water, but the washer will continue to add water and agitate for up to 10–12 minutes to reach the optimal level. Intentional pauses also occur for specialized action.
4. Non-Agitator (Impeller) Models:
These HE models use a low-water wash plate system and automatically adjust the water level.
Loading: Load items in loose, evenly distributed heaps around the wash plate, leaving the center uncovered.
Do Not Add Water: Manually adding water is crucial to avoid, as too much water causes clothes to float, reducing the necessary friction and cleaning effectiveness of the impeller. Load settling is normal.
5. Recalibration:
If water levels seem consistently lower over time, running the Clean Washer cycle (with recommended affresh® cleaner) re-calibrates the control board and resets the machine to factory water levels. Run this maintenance cycle about once a month.

Great, but...

from Minnesota
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know why manufacturers feel it's no longer necessary to provide a user's manual for appliances. My old washer is over thirty years old, I have no idea how to use this new washer. All I can find online are an owners manual or inks, both are how to hook it up.Nothing about what do all these knobs mean, what happens if I push this and what happens if I push that. Extremely disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] bought this unit several weeks ago, works as it should. Only issue with it is, when the drum is filling, the water makes a lot of noise, so loud, that I can hear it across the the house.

Works well for a top loader

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this a month ago. I like the washer except it doesn’t tell me how long a cycle is and it does make more noise on spin than I’m used to.
