Advantages
The machine has lots of options, ensures low energy costs, and is easy to use. It uses less detergent and less water, which means more savings. It is also easy on the eyes with the stylish design. The machine is quiet, hums quietly in the background even if you place the unit on a wooden platform or in the second floor. The machine is inexpensive but it gets clothes clean. The stackable feature allows you to save on laundry room space.
Disadvantages
One of the main disadvantage is that this machine has longer cycle times than a top loader. It tends to become unbalanced if the load is very heavy. The capacity, although labeled as king sized, may not be enough for larger families. The trays are flimsy and the cycle alert is often very quiet that you do not notice it. The seam in the tub tends to collect water and lint, and if not cleaned properly, will build up and lead to the formation of odors. Some users find the controls confusing. The controls are a bit complicated so you may have to read the manual.
