I got this washer and was a little optimistic about whether or not it could handle what they say it does and boy are they right. I love this thing i don't have nearly as many loads to switch over. My water and electric have dropped also. This particular model is great too because you don't have to have the pedestals to put them on. unlike other models that are low to the ground these are at a good height to make it easy to just bend a little. plus the flat tops serve as a nice shelf if you don't have the room for shelving near your washer.
