Advantages

One of the main advantages is the size, which is perfect for medium-sized families. The size ensures that you do not use more water or power than needed and the energy saving features allow you to save even more.

The machine washes garments with care, so garments look clean and white like new and they even smell cleaner! The NSF certification helps eliminate dirt and odor-causing bacteria. It removes about 99.9% of bacteria to give you a very clean load and prevent allergies when using this machine.

Disadvantages

One of the main disadvantages of this machine is that it tends to smell after a few uses if you don’t do regular cleanings especially along the rubber gasket. You need to keep the gasket clean and dry after each use to reduce the growth of bacteria. The noise level also tends to increase after months of use. The electronic display and controls tend to break down early.
