Key features

The WashSense Technology ensures a good cleaning by penetrating deep into the fabric.

The Advanced Rinsed Technology uses fresh water for the final rinse to ensure that odors are eliminated, white fabrics are at their whitest, and that allergens are removed.

The Balance Control System reduces the vibration to reduce the noise level allowing you to place the machine anywhere in the house without having to worry about the noise.

Express Select controls allow you to set the controls with one touch of a button.

The Quick Cycle feature allows you to wash clothes in as short as 25 minutes.

The Add-a-Garment feature allows you to pause the cycle, open the machine, and add additional items of clothing inside.

The TimeWise Technology will give you an idea how long the cycles last. Washing time is the same as drying time.

Automatic settings are possible if you save the settings you use most often. The machine remembers the settings and uses it for regular loads.

The energy-saver option reduces water and power consumption. This is one of the useful options that also includes Power Clean for deep-cleaning of fabrics.

NSF certification means that the machine can remove 99% of bacteria from fabrics.

The delay start option allows you to set the machine by programming it from 1

to 14 hours.

The stylish white finish gives this machine an elegant look.

Advantages

One of the best features of this machine is the NSF certification.

Users have reported a great decrease in the number of allergic reactions especially when it comes to fabrics for babies.

The Add-a-Garment option is also another favorite feature.

Loading is very easy with the wide opening.

The adjustable legs allow you to customize the height of the unit according to what is comfortable.

The white finish is very stylish.

Disadvantages

The drum tends to chip and rust after two years of use, which is not good because it causes tears and tangles in the fabric.

Rust discolors fabrics, especially whites, and this does not come off easily.

The machine also tends to "eat up" smaller items of clothing such as socks and hankies, and these usually clog up the drainage system of the machine.

The lint filter also does not do a very good job at catching all the lint from the load, so that from time to time, regular cleaning of the filter is needed.
