How doest this washer stand out? »
This washer lacks some of the nice feature available on the slightly more expensive WTW4900AW. An upgrade to this washer would come with auto-load sensors, an ecoboost to save money, and also a clean washer cycle, a stainless steel wash basket rather than a porcelain one. If these features don’t interest you then this washer is worth sticking with.
