- Save on energy when you use this Energy Star-compliant washer.
Advantages
This washer may lack some of the fanciest features found in other front-loading machines from the same brand but can perform just as well. This washer is not only an energy-saver but also a space-saver. The optional pedestals have been very useful for stocking laundry supplies and
can be easily installed. For the most part, the washer is dependable with its stainless steel drum that doesn't snag clothes because of the smaller water exist holes.
If leveled properly, it doesn't make too much noise. It also has the necessary wash cycles for different types of load. It cuts down on drying time if the machine is given time to drain water from the drum. It is quiet and has adequate features for a clean wash. Just make sure that you use an HE detergent for more effective cleaning.
Disadvantages
Some users have noted odor problems but this can be solved with the door left open until it is dry. The sealing ring and detergent holder should also be left open and given enough time to dry or it will leave some unpleasant odor. You have to get used to using little water to this machine and make sure that you don't add bleach too early or it may damage clothes. Perhaps because of the smaller water exit holes, some consumers claim that it doesn't drain water well. It also takes time to wash heavy loads such as comforters.
