Great machine, reliable, easy on clothing. Clothes are nearly dry when you pull them out. GOtta love that! Down side is that on the higher spin cycle ratings, the machine shakes the house -- but to get clothes nearly dry you do not need this cycle at all. Machine is expensive as an initial investment but pays off because of the reduced wear and tear on clothes, the reduced detergent requirements (I use a quarter of the recommended detergent and clothes cme out clean), reduced water and power use and reduced drying time. Highly recommended.
