The machine is also compact, with a no-frills design that allows you to store it in a tight corner. The top-loading design makes bending to load and unload unnecessary. The adjustable settings make using the machine easy, and the capacity makes it perfect for medium-sized families. To conserve energy, the machine regulates hot water, which is an added plus. Setup is very easy and very quick to do with this machine because it comes with the included hoses, as well as a schematic on the panel for guidance. Noise and vibration are not too loud, just normal for a typical top loader.
Disadvantages
One of its disadvantages is that this unit has a plastic drum. Plastic tends to warp and break easier than stainless steel drums, so most users complain of the drum warping after about 3 years. Another complaint is the fragility of the controls. After a few months of use they tend to break down especially the control dials. When this happens, users cannot look at the programs they need to choose or how many minutes are left before the cycle is over. Because the machine regulates hot water, some users find the water not hot enough for the load.

Cons
