This washing machine runs very quiet. It is wonderfully quick also. All the different features also are great. I like the extra rinse cycle best because some things need a little bit more rinsing before it gets cleaned enough. There are special places for bleach and fabric sofener, making it easier for you so you don't have to remember to put it in. It also has a water level dial so you can choose how full to make the washer, to save you water. This was a very dependable, easy washer for a great price.
