Have you ever accidently overloaded your washing machine? Just trying to get more done at once? Hoping you'll accomplish more in just one load? Well then you know what your washer sounds like when it has just one article of clothing too many......something like the giant running around, chasing little jack at the top of that beanstalk, right? Well this machine changes all that. Reducing the noise and making it finally conveinant to do your laundry at any time. To actually be able to be doing laundry while guests are over, and they;ll never even know it. I love this washer, deffinatly one I'd recommend....
