2 The cycles on this washer are a JOKE!

I bought this right after Christmas and I wish I could return it and go get the Maytag from Lowes!! I require a hand wash cycle and this one is LABELED with a hand wash cycle, but it most definitely is NOT a hand wash cycle and it is destroying my clothes!! The agitation is just as rough as any other cycle and it is not intermittent like a true hand wash cycle is supposed to be!_x000D_ _x000D_ The agitator only has one speed, no matter what cycle you put it on. Also, there is no point in evenly distributing your clothes around the agitator because it will pile them all up in a dry heap before it even starts filling with water._x000D_ _x000D_ Normal cycle is to be avoided unless you have a very small load because it never fills with enough water. You have to choose bulky or heavy duty in order for the machine to fill with enough water to wash your loads. Even then, it might not fill with the correct amount of water. It usually fills with too much water or not enough water. Seldom does it get it just right! You can trick the machine into filling with enough water if you soak at least one piece of clothing in the load first, or just pour a gallon of water into the tub so that it weighs more. Any time it doesn't fill with enough water, I have to pause it and pour in more water my own self. There really needs to be an option to "custom fill" or to "add more water" because the machine is pretty stupid._x000D_ _x000D_ The end of cycle sound is a joke too!! Unless you stay in the laundry room, you will never hear it. It's just a tiny little sound. What a joke! Oh, and don't be in a hurry to get a load washed.... it takes at least an hour, and often takes more like 75 minutes!_x000D_ _x000D_ I have not seen my water bill or my electric bill go down significantly, so I don't think it's saving much energy, but then there are more factors than just the washer that effect those, so who knows._x000D_ _x000D_ There are a few good points to make. For one, the machine stays balanced and doesn't shake the whole mobile home when it spins like the older machines do. The tub is HUGE and that is nice so that I can wash my extra big blanket and my bedspread and a bigger load of towels or jeans. I like the design, but I hate that the lid locks while the water is filling because I have to wait for some water to fill, pause, then reach down to the bottom and rinse the fabric softener cap before I can put it back on the bottle. What a royal pain! I should be able to rinse the lid in the water running into the machine. Why does the lid need to be locked for that? Stupid._x000D_ _x000D_ If this was something I could just put in my vehicle and return to the store, it would have been returned the first time I used the hand wash cycle!!! I can deal with the rest, but I cannot have my machine destroying my hand wash clothes and I'm stuck with this and there's nothing I can do about it.

5 Works great, lots of power

Works great. I like that it has a place to put fabric softerner and soap . I also like that it has a timmer that shows how much time it takes for your settings.

3 Easy to operate

I give it 3 stars because in 10 months the transmission went out and the machine was throwing codes. However, called the warranty center and a technician came out right away and diagnosed my issue and the next week my washer is running like a champ again.

5 Love it

We purchased this washer when we bought our home. We love it! It washes a lot better than our old one did. Can’t even tell when it’s running.
