By  jennw from Weston, ID I never imagined that I would have a washing machine like this. But when my old washing machine died, I decided to go for it and get the machine of my dreams (at least the one I could afford). And I'm so glad that I did!!! This machine is easy to use, has a variety of great settings, and is super quiet. I also love that it has a timer. So I can set it the night before to turn on early in the morning. A great washing machine for any homemaking mom who has lots of little ones running around. Never a problem. Works like a charm. Merry Christmas to me!!! Energy Efficiency Absolutely saves water, electricity, and detergent!!! Performance Cleans it all...and I know. My husband works with horses and is a welder. So you can imagine the dirty laundry that comes my way. Not to mention 4 little ones who play outside. This machine cleans it all!!!
