Washer Highlights


  • It has front panel digital controls for easy read-out.
  • The 10 wash cycles allow you to choose the best wash cycle for the fabrics in the load.
  • Its 3.5 cu. feet capacity allows you to wash a medium-sized load of laundry.
  • It comes with a tumble action cleaning system uses the tumble and plunge action for enhanced cleaning without damaging the fabrics.
  • Automatic water level adjustments allow the machine to determine the right amount of water needed to clean the load and eliminate the need for guesswork on your part.
  • Its 8-hour delay start function allows you to set the starting time as early as 8 hours in advance.
  • The stainless steel wash basket resists rusts and does not cause snags.
  • The bleach and fabric softening dispensers are automatically opened during the cycle when needed.
  • The stackable design allows users to save on laundry room space by stacking the unit up with a compatible dryer.


  • Advantages

  • One major plus is the stainless steel drum that resists rust and chipping.
  • The stainless steel drum also withstands faster rinse cycles, which is better compared to plastic or porcelain tubs. Drums that are prone to rust cannot be used because they can discolor and stain fabrics.
  • The capacity makes this perfect for a medium-sized family and prevents wasting water and power with the automatic water level adjustment.
  • The unit is also stackable, although the stacking unit does not come with the purchase.
  • ou can stack the unit under a compatible dryer to save on laundry space. This is perfect for laundry rooms that are very small.
  • The unit also does not use an agitator system, which is more harsh on the clothes and delicate fabrics.

    Disadvantages

  • The lack of automatic temperature control is one of the biggest drawbacks to this machine.
  • Although important features are present, other convenience features like the reversible door hinge, permanent press cycle, and the delicate cycle are not included.
  • The unit also only comes in black unlike other models, which are available in other colors.
  • Finally, the rubber gasket tends to have water pooling around it after every use. It is important to keep this area clean and dry in order to prevent the development of molds and mildew inside the drum, which can give the laundry a very moldy odor.
