Still getting used to the difference between this and my last two F & P's...Seems to wash fine, but slow to start and yells at you until you turn it off....we've found ourselves telling a machine to shut up and we'll get to hang out the wash when we have a second.

It has taken me a little while to feel comfortable with the machine but that was more me than the machine - I leapt ahead in technology from one machine to the next. It is easy to use and I have programmed my favourite. I'm a little surprised at the length of time required for some loads but it does do a good job. It is a nice solid machine and I don't mind the reminder beeps when a load is finished. I do like that the machine senses the size of the wash so you load, close the lid push the start button and off it goes.

So far this baby works well. Always been a top load fan. At least you can open the lid during a wash cycle and add that missing sock. It's eco rating is quite high; it actually uses front loader detergent. Ultimately, one system uses less water but more power for a similar load.
